If the current map isn't being updated, why is it still being posted?

Because the guy "running" the map will sperg out if he sees it isnt being posted

>DBT map
yeah we're not doin that

let him then

So he doesn't actually run the map, but he spergs if it's not posted?
What the fuck is his problem then?

I've never seen anyone riding a Z125
I've never heard anyone talking about the Z125
The Z125 is like that awkward 12 year old dabbing in 2017

Because it is a fucking ripoff of our lord and savior GROM. Now fuck off.

groms out first and well marketed

the z125 is neat, but essentially the same with no aftermarket.

The grom people already bought groms

>grom

...

What do you think about our policeman

Seems like a safe country.

>no turbo
>not stretched
>no fartcan

>riding across the sunshine skyway bridge at sunset to this song
>youtube.com/watch?v=KbJanCYONrk

this is a feel too complex to express

You would think they had adv bikes to handle your shit roads

That's how most busa's look like here. Most of the time stock black or grey/beige.

tfw no turbo XB12

>tfw no gf

also this

What are your guy's opinion on the KTM Duke 390? any decent alternatives?

What about the Suzuki DRZ400? any Alts. for that too?

The DRZ is a turd.
The duke is a giant vibrator but nicer.

Start lifting.

met the skid demon today lads

>on my bicycle kek

I was just thinking a Busa would be a great police bike.

hnng

wr250

...

>Squatting lmao 1pl8

You can literally google any broken bikes and find the same pics.
KTMs are great bikes
Youre a nobike

He technically got off light

Drz a best, or wr250r. People will shill one or the other but ultimatly you will like either one of them so really its just up to you. Get drz/wr instead of duke

I'ma South African, the kaffs here believe that the longer you go without sex as a man the strong you become because you are giving your "energy" to the women.

Would this explain why I am physically twice, or more, strong as the kaffs I've worked with?

>buell
I wonder why

nah, the signs are everywhere

co-worker got a 690SM and it had a broken rocker-arm at che cam-shaft after less than 5000 Km.

also:

>Google sumos nearby
>Husky 701 for under 7000 bucks
>yeah it has a new piston and cylinder head at 6000 Km so its almost new!!!

fuck this shit, they are obviously horrible bikes.

In that case I should be Arnold Schwarzenegger mixed with Ronnie Coleman by now, so I don't think it works like that.

why dont you just join one of these toddler gang-rapes africans are so fond of?

My ktm 530 has over 60k miles on it. No majors issues ever
Wanna keep comparing anecdotal evidence?

yeah and for the off road hooligans would make more sense. But this is some scare tactic

How many hours of lying in bed wondering why he was overtaking in the oncoming lane around a blind corner do you think it took before his soul left his body.

Could you guys please explain the appeal of these? They seem to fit a certain niche that no one that ive seen riding them use.

Are they jack of all trades bikes?

as many as it took for the Porsche guy to find the hospital it was taken to

Same up here, and I'm in the US.

Every now and then you see red/white/orange, probably because they crashed and bought new plastics. Also, all the riders are either white or the whitest non-whites you'll ever meet.

The "trail bike" niche for light offroading disappeared. Dual sports are basically detuned MX bikes, and people dislike that because it's all maintenance-hungry, underpowered thumpers and super tall suspensions all the way down. Adventure/rally/scrambler bikes are just the return of the trailie, for people that don't pretend they tackle technical single track and trials courses every time they leave the garage.

The adv bikes?
They are great to tour with, on perfectly smooth to fire roads.

Basically tour bikes with high suspension and wheels that fit off road tires.

what's he gonna do? he already made a video saying he's done riding on the street. make a second one saying he's really done? beats me.

this thing looks cool as fuck, dont know if its worth the money though

>Are they jack of all trades bikes?

nah, they are heavy offroad bikes meant to be loaded with camping equipment

That's why they invented the centre stand.

for home-use? Nah.

...

I thought I was buying an inexpensive commuter, but I ended up with a lightweight hooligan bike. Not quite double the power of a DRZ. Also, working ABS and cartridge forks, etc.

I've had Experiences with Vibrators as a kid. but is it good for biking and freeway use?
how good is the cheaper x model. im going to most likely be 90% on road anyways
How so? i know its very light but does it accelerate really fast or something? and what do you think about this shitpost

I almost bought one but they are "soulless."
Much like the xt660 i think that's the kind of bike that grows on you but certainly is not impressive at the first try.

However if i had to ride down thousands of kilometers with maybe offroad/bad weather i'd take one against any other "adventure bike" no question, incredible reliability and comfort.

( i bought a tiger1200 instead for the incredible motor and because i never offroad but i sometimes wish i could just go around a forest road and have some camping fun a country away from home)

>tall, comfy, upright bike with long suspension and good durability
Why wouldn't you want one?

>good for biking
Yes
>good for freeway
No
Get an FZ07 if you want something simular but far more capable.

They're for riding long distances on highways or back roads loaded up with a weeks worth of camping shit, then when you get to bumfuck nowhere riding through gravel and fire roads to get to your campsite. They aren't dirtbikes, just an off-road oriented tourer, just like sport tourers are sport oriented tourers, and cruisers are noise oriented tourers.

Or they're for commuting to work and telling people about long way round.

...

My duke doesn't vibe much. It's pretty non-buzzy. The only comfort problem I've had is the seat. I spent the bucks for the "powerparts" seat, which is good enough to tour on.

44 claimed crank HP, and the dyno curves I've seen are 39-41, so that seems right. Suspension has 6 inches travel at both ends, with light preload and very progressive springs, as is the modern style, so it feels firm in the twisties and surprisingly plush jumping curbs.

That shitpost has been around a while. KTM has a huge share of the US offroad market, so there is no shortage of pics of broken bikes. My bikes been fine so far, so meh.

Seems a little high. It better be in perfect conditions with a couple extras and new tires. I wouldn't pay that much if it needed anything.

You can get so many nice liter bikes with aftermarket bits for $4000.

This guy looks worried.

>get back after 2 Dark Souls centered weeks
>first thing I see is this picture of yammie that crashed again
Lmao. You can't make this shit up.

is it just me or does this rear wheel look crooked?

wait until you see how he crashed

I wanted to see the results...

...

>walk past bike again
>windy weather blew off other bikes cover
>gf asks why everything on their bikes looks flimsy and small
>its a ninja300 and a ktm 390

wew I don't know if they could become riding buddies, the ninja belongs to some brunette girl and I think the ktm to the guy living above me, but I dunno

cell phone lens distortion? The guy is currently riding all over Asia on this bike, so it likely works OK

Gonna need proofs

Watching videos right now.
>head on collision with a porsche after passing the double yellow
Top kek.
I hope next is that snowcat faggot, can't stand his guts.
Is that it?

Introduce yourself the proper way to that ninja grill.

Become riding buddies, if you know what I mean.

Just some memes m8.

...

>deined

Snowcat doesn't have the balls to do something that stupid, more likely you'll see him drop it at a stoplight.

Remember the time a grampa on a touringbike passed him in a corner and he flipped?

"Well, where did you want me to pass you?"

This nigger totaled 2 (TWO) motherfucking Daytona.
If I met him on the road and he bitched at me I'd probably hit him though the visor.

Well guys, I am fucking HYPED right now. For those of you that do not know, the 2004-2007 Ninja 250s were part of a massive recall through Kawasaki due to a manufacturing defect where one of the fairings screws can perforate the gas tank. Yes, this supposed Japanese master race actually made one of the fairings mounting points ON the 1 centimeter thick gas tank. So if you overtorqued it, lost the rubber gromet, or used literally any other fairing screw when re-assembling the fairings, you would drill a nice hole into your gas tank.

Anyways, despite it being 12 years later, Kawasaki is still honoring these recalls and I just dropped my bike off at the dealership where they are getting me a brand new $800 OEM gas tank for free.

>shiggy

>autistic screeching

did he live?

He might have seen the *Teleports behind you* if had some mirrors.

it was extremely painful

Unfortunately, his credit score is now suffering from eternal bleeding.

he's a big guy.

...

Dr. Yammie?

>tfw poor anons with 10 year old 675s could've eaten that 675R

>1 centimeter
1 mm more like.

What year is your bike? The law (in the US) only requires the manufacturer to pay if it's ten or less years old. They typically do the work free anyway, because liability.

And the CB500F makes only 43HP. We're going backwards.

>they are fueless children in Africa right now
>they have no access to real non shit bikes
>rich American are just throwing away bikes

Yeah 1mm is more like it. It's fucking THIN.
