Still looking for a price check on a plated 2006 KTM 525 EXC here in Colorado? It has 1877 miles/90 hours on it and looks pretty damn good from the pictures and description.

probably around 3 grand, what it would sell for where i live anyway.
Noah Powell
no i don't hate i masturbatae

>city riders will defend this Why do people who live in cities even buy a motorcycle? just get a scooter.
Brandon Lopez
sounds like the average honda rider
Brandon Williams
Nah I just feel sorry for you.
You don't get to know how good this feels, that's a dayum shame.
Kayden Sanchez
We're not all like that. I'm 20 minutes from a tougue and take advantage of it all the time.

Tyler Morgan
A supersport isn't a 911, it's a 911 GT3. It's spending like 50% more for a performance improvement you can't notice without near the limit cornering and a massive reduction in road comfort and usability.

I do the same thing except I decided to buy a fashionable bike as well
Xavier Gomez
Not compared to a Hayabusa or a majestic dolphin, no. We're talking about 600s that can get handily outdragged by non-race liter bikes for the same money anyways.
Tyler Bell
And which bike would that be?
Asher Sanders
It isn't

sort of want a bike recommendation (not really wanting to buy the following, just curious)
> something small in capacity (400cc or less) > great power to weight > insanely well polished, fantastically engineered and premium bike
The only thing that sort of matches these are the HRC NSR250 and the KTM RC250 R, which are both track-only Moto3 bikes.
Basically, a modern version of the 90s 250 2-stroke race reps or I4s. Does any company really make small and premium bikes, or does small equal economy now?
If so, what's the smallest cc bike with that level of finish and premium?
Levi Morales
Speaking of Porsches
Raced a Boxster S on the way back home today. We both hit about 250km/h on the freeway, weaving in and out of cars, hitting corners at 180 for about 3 minutes.
Pretty fun stuff. I was a bit faster on the straights and acceleration but he was quicker in the corners and the ground was slightly damp so I didn't want to lean it right over.
Eventually we hit a bunch of cars and people going slow in the left lane so we couldn't go any further. Gave him a thumbs up and he gave me one back and I pulled into the slow lane to wait for my friend.

this sounds fun, but don't die doing this shit on public roads, user. sounds like there were no cars around, at least
Jonathan Evans
Theoretically this but it still has dick for power compared to the old 2 strokes, is built in Thailand, and you probably can't buy one.
Hudson Peterson
Already own it, just wondering if there's a similar sort of machine (doesn't have to be a 250) in production right now.
How do you even order shit from HRC
Joshua James
Fuck outta here with that shit.
Literally worse than an r3
Oliver Carter
such a fucking shame, they had the potential to make an awesome bike. would have even settled for a triple if not an I4, but with the marketing I expected more than a twin cylinder CBR250R with unnecessary engine map selection (you seriously can't handle the HP it puts out at max power?)
Julian Diaz
I definitely wasn't pushing it at the limit. The road is pretty famous for people taking nice cars and bikes on and well maintained.
Jeremiah Campbell
>tfw scraped peg >massive need to go back to Palomar Mountain and practice >also need knee sliders
I feel really close to being able to get a knee down, even if it's just a kiss against the pavement.
William Fisher
Nope, because somewhere down the line, someone is gonna buy that bike off mr. starbucks racer and it'll still be in good shape because he hasn't actually rode it anywhere
Actually it's way better than an R3
Grayson Ross
>he thinks engine map selection does anything at WOT
Engine map selections are for partial throttle you complete retard
Evan Wood
What does riding one of those huge tourers feel like?
I can't decide if big heavy bikes look cool or retarded
Isaiah Morris
RS125 and RS250
Daniel Cruz
Wheelies down michigan ave are pretty lit famalam.
Jason Russell
>it feels retarded
Nathan Reyes
I'm certain that at least some engine mapped bikes curb HP at all throttle positions, including WOT.
Either way, the point still stands that you don't need engine mapping on the 30-whatever HP that the 250RR ended up being.
Matthew Adams
S1000RR in rain mode is the only bike i know of that doesn't have full power at WOT
Wyatt Flores
talk me out of getting a muscle bike.
Michael Diaz
How do I get my confidence up in the corners? I slow down too much in the twisties and don't lean enough. I'm not trying to be some Moto GP wannabe faggot, just get a little quicker in the turns on my standard bike.
Oliver Ramirez
ride more
Ayden Robinson
You don't but it's what sells bikes now. Not like there wasn't similar retarded shit in the 80s and 90s I guess.
Colton Bailey
Get rid of the pilot road 4's and replace them with pilot power 3's.
Confidence in corners is needed before skills can grow. how can you get better if your tyres will not allow it?
Anthony Long
>he bought reddit: the tire
Jaxson Cook
The R3 is just a bored out R25
Christopher Perry

Ian Wood
so in other words it will still get BTFO by the CBR?
Jonathan Adams
Anyone wear bluetooth earbuds under their helmet? Looking at buying some but they look like they'll all get yanked out the second I actually put on my helmet.
John Collins
These tires are great in the rain though, which for another three or four months I really need. I commute on my bike every day rain or shine, so I need some good rain tires.
So I guess I have to choose quick cornering OR wet weather grip, great.
John Long
yeah, but it still makes more power than the 250RR. that's like saying a hayabusa isn't better than a 600rr because the 600 could beat it if it had more power.
Gabriel Watson
>he thinks power makes the bike better >bike with more power is still slower lmao get a load of this retard
Alexander Rogers
I can't tell you what difference the R3 having 6hp more than the R25 makes to lap time but it's not like either of them are fast enough in a straight line there's any reason to care when one bike handles that much better.
Your comparison is fucking retarded and you should feel stupid.
Isaac Sanchez
pp3 work fine in the rain. The only time they wouldnt is if you were actually scraping knee in the rain because ya know, slick sides.
John Phillips
Haven't been following your conversation, but I prefer power to speed. Torque feels better to me than horsepower. I don't care what number the speedometer indicates, I want to feel torque.
Maybe this is because I have experience with American muscle cars, I don't know.
Isaiah Flores
>this bike has 5 hp more and so it's better even though it's inferior in literally every way
This is what happens when bench racers from Veeky Forums make vehicle purchasing decisions >Your comparison is fucking retarded and you should feel stupid. I wonder if mentally retarded people know they're stupid
Adam Barnes
What the fuck is this nigga trying to say
Isaac Wood
more cc makes an objectively better bike. it's why BMW touring bikes are considered among the best, as well as big bore Harleys
Cameron Reyes
no replacement for displacement
Michael Morris
>Torque feels better to me than horsepower. this makes literally no sense
torque is horsepower you dingus
ok cletus
Luke Reyes
so fucking true, these idiots don't get it. big = better, not fancy frames and """"handling"""""""
harley for life, why do you think they sell the best
Jacob Taylor
Legit
Bikes suck at handling anyway. Might as well go all out with power
Dominic Flores
>not realizing he was making fun of you
Logan Hughes
>not realizing I'm not "you" and that I'm just memeing too
Easton Clark
i was actually being satirical and fucking with everyone once I posted without actually fact checking the r3 because I can't handle losing internet arguments

The worst part is I sort of feel bad about it but then I don't really
#2 go practice, don't just ride, go out with the deliberate aim to practice and improve your skills.

>torque is horsepower you dingus No it's not.
>Horsepower is defined as the amount of energy required to lift 550 pounds, one foot, in one second. From this definition you can see that the components of horsepower are force, distance and time. Distance and time are self-explanatory but force, specifically a twisting force, is what torque is all about.
Ayden Gray
horsepower = torque*rpm/5252
Chase Clark
I hate you for not knowing how to properly greentext, you fucking faggot. Lurk moar.
Charles White
Torque is a physical quantity, horsepower and RPM are units. Power (a physical quantity for which horsepower is one of the common units) is NOT energy, it is the partial differentiation of energy delivered over time. Furthermore, power = torque * time^-1 only works if that time is constant, which only applies at constant speed. Since you boyracers are likely talking about acceleration, power would have to be the integral of torque over an RPM range.

Cooper Russell
/dbt/ I am in need of some advice. I have been riding my XR650L for almost 2 years now, but have been looking to get a street bike. I like the look of the CBR600F1's and F2's but I have no street bike experience at all. I know even though it is less displacement than my current bike, it's going to be a whole different monster, and was wondering if you guys think I should get a smaller bike (250-400cc) to learn the ropes of street bike riding first, or should my experience with a dual-sport carry over well enough? I have read that the F1's and F2's are pretty unforgiving to beginners, and although I am confident with my current bike, I feel a little nervous with no experience on anything else.
Elijah Martinez
it will carry over fine. Hard to go from street to dirt but really easy to go from dirt to street.
and those ones are pretty easy to ride compared to modern sportbikes
Kevin Moore
XR650L is heavy as fuck, CBR will handle different and harder in low speed parking lot type stuff, just dont go full retard on the gas or brakes and you'll be fine
Brody Reed
>street bike *Sport bike If you're genuinely feeling nervous and unable to trust yourself, I'd say you should look for a smaller bike to ride around first, but in all honesty, you should be fine. Maybe 1-2 weeks tops to get into it, provided you already have 2 years experience.
Brayden Butler
dat clutch control
Isaac Bell
And?
Daniel Peterson
Thanks senpai/o/ly. I think I'll go for the bike I want and just spend some time learning it when traffic is light before I begin riding it on a regular basis. I still plan on keeping my XR as well.
Lincoln Ortiz
What is the appeal of an F2 when F3s have practically the same styling.
Austin Scott
Shit, I didn't think they did. I'll keep an eye out for one of those too then. That should open up my options a little more.
Juan Powell
my front brake is squeeking, bike is 5 weeks old.
normal?
Benjamin Martin
you warped the discs with your mad street rossi skills and the bike is now totaled, sell it and buy a new one.
Hunter Hernandez
Doing that shit on a normal road let alone twisties is retarded. It's like squidding in that you are more likely to get fucked up, but it's worse because it affects people around you. I'd probably think the same thing too, as a passing thought to myself while going past
David Long
Yeah sound like warped disks. Bike may be salvageable but i doubt it.
