DRZ a shit.
Suzuki a shit.

DRZ's cannot even make it to half way to a WRR's first valve check interval without catastrophically failing.

DRZfags BTFO.

wow it's basically a statistical fact that DRZ engines blow up after 5 miles then

DRZ a shit.

i'm the WR fag actually but can we keep the shitposting to a minimum we had a nice /dbt/ going before you all got assblasted by one guy posting pictures of a DRZ and not even trolling

>claims god bike
>not trolling
K

...

I keep getting donated expensive riding gear. Does shitbike count as present?

The DRZ is a somewhat good bike thats popularity is chiefly due to its lack of competition. It's the best bike in its class because it's pretty much the only bike in its class.

b-b-but the maintenance intervals are longer!

Reliability isn't a recommended interval. It's doing a valve check at that interval and finding out that nothing has moved.

>Godbike.

/dbt/ has been spreading this myth about the DRZ being a very reliable motorcycle.

It's not. And it's not some honda tier shit like a poorly grounded wiring harness burning out, it's fucking engine failure.

idk socal supermoto has like 20 of them and people beat the shit out of them 100% of the time, they seem to be doing alright

They dont tell you how many rebuilds they have done

not as many as they would be doing with a YZ450F or KX450F

Probably less unless you count the odd piston/ring as a "rebuild"

>dual sport DRZ
>Has to compare it to MX bikes on reliability in order to make a case.

suzukifag retardation at it's best

>5 bikes
>7 catastrophic engine failures.

LOL people actual buy these piles of shit?

Actually 8 failures.

>Sportbikes are unreiiable, replace before 50k

U wot? Modern sportbikes are fucking tanks, aside from Italian electronics they almost never have problems.

...

you should not have that much water coming out your exhaust

Ah, I see, you can almost see the R1's tire tracks in this one

Is it bad that the main reason I want a Ninja 300 over a 250 is the digital dash? It's like a $1000 difference but dat dash is so pretty.

...

I know people who ride like assholes on all kinds of bikes. Not just one or the other.
Riding like a nigger is not exclusive to anything. Though more prevalent in harley and gsx-r riders

>street bikes under 500cc

So it's for a track pig, right?

Why are you buying anything but used 250s?

Feet without tattooes look so boring

Insurance for a 500/600 is too expensive.

it depends on how you define "asshole".

just taking off from a stoplight faster than someone can make you an asshole. but when it comes to actual dick moves like disrupting traffic and attacking vehicles, i think GSXR riders, nekkid kiddos, and riders of beat to shit cruisers have it down.

In which retarded country with which retarded agency?

I pay $290 a year for liability on a ninja 500 and have multiple speeding tickets

>inb4 this is expensive

Sounds about right.
I'll take off fast from a stoplight if I don't want cars around me. Especially if I notice they're not paying attention. It's always advised to ride defensive and aggressively. But not cunt status where your cutting people off, kicking doors, breaking mirrors, and so on. I'm an adult so I just let it go and enjoy my riding time

tfw 70 bucks a month for full coverage on drz400

>wrfags can't wheelie because cherry pick failed drz examples
>pretend DRZ can't be modded to above 50hp or lose weight

California, $1200/year for a 300, $2000/year for a 500.

california was a mistake

but lanesplitting

Dude nevada and arizona are like right there

>California
You should move to america mate. Better prices here

>He thinks wheelies are hp dependent

I lanesplit in my state. Cops really won't bother you. Unless you're doing it like a cunt

every time another state wants to allow it they point to retarded californian motovloggers as an argument against it. they seriously pull up youtube in the middle of the chamber just to scare people off white bread suggestions like letting bikes go 5mph down lines of stopped traffic on divided roads.

thank you california.

lol suck itttt

not dependent, but hp helps a lot
I can start wheelies about 20mph faster after building the DRZ

What did you all do today?

After work I explored some ranch and farm roads.

First time riding again since mid december.

Its amazing, where ever the oilfield hasn't been to the roads are old but still paved decently. Where ever they've been is a pothole riddled, washboarded, chewed up track with a county sign next to it.

I shitposted here and on reddit and played video games, finished marathoning Sherlock.

I almost went out to do basic and essential downtime maintenance on my bike but decided against it because it was -11C and already pitch black at 5pm

Sat here at work and talked about upcoming road trips. No riding until I'm back on land in late jan :(

But tomorrow is pay day. That's always good

i escaped the cops lol

...

Redguard please go

So you stole from the state and from insurance companies that were lawfully entitled to funds collected as a consequence of your degenerate, antisocial behaviour?

Tell me how I know you ride a suzuki.

>woke up
>ate breakfast
>took a shit

Went to work, went to class, took a nap. I hate winter.

Why are there so many little bitches in this thread? Half of you don't even have a bike.

btw I got a girlfriend on the 10th. She's coming over tomorrow for a motorcycle date and she's all mine until 6 pm. I'm hoping she'll let me sniff and lick her feet. If I'm really lucky she'll give me a footjob or blowjob.

Why don't you make your helmet something cool like Walteriffic's instead of a generic mohawk?

This pasta has no flavor

Make sure you take unboxing pics for us when you open your onahole/daki shipment

hm?
yah due was siq

We posting maymay helmets?

Post your bikes, squiddos. Oh wait, you don't have one. I have two bikes and a gf now. You better back the fuck up you dont know who you're messing with. If you dont recognize my helmet that instills fear all across the New England area and is recognized by it's distinguished style then you should lurk more before you embarrass yourself infront of a celebrity again kid.

...

Redguard=nigger. Because you did a nigger thing. Therefore you are a nigger

Yours? It looks fucking retarded. And the mouth part doesn't even do anything.

Stupid cruiser fatboy. I bet ur overweight too. white boy

Little pepper plox.

It's kinda cool looking I think. Wouldn't wanna turn my head while riding with it. But would look cool sitting in my closet of helmets

>has a foot fetish
>calls other people little bitches

Season it with some of my cum, kid.

btw I accidentally drank a mouthful of my own hot piss. it didnt taste like how I expected. it was really bitter and gross. warm and not even in the least salty, just slightly sour but bitter and repulsive. I immediately dry gagged until blood came out. It was cum mixed with a TON leaky cum left in the urethra tract because I had been edging for 3 hours.

The mouth guard stops rocks and shit. Only wore it maybe twice. Only got it for a buddy of mine to airbrush.
And no I'm not fat either. But I do appreciate your worrying about my health user

rate my bike d/b/t

check them street-ridden-only strips.

>parked next to its natural habitat/10

rate me thx senpai

Now you gotta admit THIS is a sweet fucking shot.

I took it while stoned. btw im stoned rn too lmao
