Honda a shit.

Im sorry I triggered your autism.
Have a good day, friend :)

Whoops, was thinking V-Strom instead of VMAX. Again
>Yamahahaha
Call me when they can make a production bike without a snatchy throttle :~)

Are you potatoe?

Please see Butt your very rite annon

I just got my first bike (ninja250)
How many of these terms do I actually have to memorize to hang with u guys?

Is that an MRD pipe w/ heatshield holes?
mine doesn't have that, and I got a scar on my leg to prove it.

I mean it's ok. The chief is nicer to me though

it was a yoshi rs2 without the heat shield. it gets a little bit warm, but no burns. Yet

is this an okay deal

gumtree.com/p/suzuki-motorbikes/suzuki-sv650s-k8-58-plate-/1256424660

Thinking about trading my FZ-07 in for a bike that's larger and better for some light touring (highway trips and maybe some overnight camping) but still good to commute on every day. Budget is $12K or less, obviously less is better.

Any suggestions /dbt/?

chapo rear tyres?
michelin pilot power for 90€, deal or no deal?

biker gestures and lingo is entirely region dependant
Harley guys ALWAYS try to be special snowflakes and have their secret code

cop it now before i do

RSV1k

FJ1300
MT09
Tiger 800
F800GS/ST
VFR800/1200
GSXF1000
CBF1000F
R1200GS/RS
Concourse

Shit man there's a lot of options, what are you looking for in these bikes specifically?

I've been eyeing the FJ-09 and it looks like it might be a winner, but I'm not sure yet. I've been very happy with my FZ-07, so I'd be happy to consider another Yamaha.

>FJ1300
The FJ1300 is a bit out of my $12K budget. It goes for $16.5K which is quite a bit higher, I don't think I could fudge that much.

I'd honestly be open to a cruiser (never ridden one though) because I really like their style and I hear they can be quite comfy for larger guys like myself. I don't want to get into the Harley meme at all, so are there any cruiser suggestions outside of that brand? Indians seem like great bikes but I'm not a fan of their traditional styling. The Yamaha Bolt looks amazing but it's too small I think.

Sounds like you're planning on buying new which I would recommend against unless you're buying a cutting edge bike since you're going to get raped by dealer fees and immediate deprecation.
I know fuck all about cruisers since they're too much of a handling compromise, but I'd look at the VMAX if I was in the market

opinions on sports tourers?

f800st is the perfect commuter/light tourer

>amazing mpg
>belt drive
>good comfortable ergonomics

Kind of boring to ride though but it gets the job done. The more exciting option is the VFR 800, but has a chain and pretty shocking mpg. If you want to go down the VFr route you might as well look for a 1200 then if you can afford it.

Best bikes for street

Christ that thing is ugly, like three differing people designed a piece each.

You're entitled to your wrong opinions friend

so I'm assuming user never made it home since last thread had no pics of R1's

Stock seat on the Indians are crazy comfy if you get a chance to sit on one.
Riding positing don't bother me much honesty and when I do distance I use my Tbag as a back rest

I mean, I do like trellis frames, but it's like the multistrada facefucked the RC390 and somehow this was allowed to pass concept.

>Ninja 250

original questioner here
just looked through my jacket, story checks out
nice

Anyone ever use these? Kinda wanting to buy a pair soon.
All opinions and experiences welcomed
Will mostly be used for daily joy rides and road trips

alri sent a message about the SV

gonna have a look today

hopefully haggle him down to 1600

I don't see how other that it's orange and has a beak

shhh don't upset the nobike

Am I being memed?

ntv best honda

how much are you gonna laugh at me if i get a 60 teeth sprocket as a joke?

yeah dude that's a DANK deal hop on it

How do people manage to commute day in day out on a bike after a full shift of work? I'm so dead by the end that it feels very dangerous to even ride

>V anything

Behold and weep.

Vtwin Honda is sex tho

On what bike? The NTV? Its shaft drive so pretty hard.

The ol' classic gayass 500

Give an example

The only thing I can think of is the gsxs750

I'd drive MY shaft into WR's mum p hard if you get my meaning.

The engine on that thing is beastly, but I wish this stupid beak design trend would end already because It's so nauseatingly ugly. Whoever designed that thing should be shot.

*into WR's mum's NTV

Is cbr f4 comfy? I'm changing my fzs600 for something with similar power but lighter, and the f4 seems nice.

What's the best hipster bike? Don't care how it rides, just want to look cool and take it out for photoshoots

based XSR900

I'm a little concerned with my rear brake performance. I checked it just now, the pads are a long way from worn, fluid checks out, it just doesn't do as much as before maintenance at a shop, it feel rubbery.

The pedal is in the specified 5.5-6.5 cm range. Should I fuck with it?

it's just the right blend of sport + comfort ergonomics
there are comfier bikes and bikes with better aero/corner position, but the f4 does a good job at both imo
just try sitting on one

Cx500
Gs550

Hipsters LOVE to chop up these

How much torque Is on the rear spindle on average?
Need to know if i need the 15$ wrench or the 150 one

New lines

my 900 asks for 110nm but my 250 asks for 80nm

Google says 80front 120rear
Looks like i need a big'un
Where can i get a cheap wrench, or should i ask diy?

just buy something decent and don't beat it up. it will last a long time if you use it properly. find one that does cw+ccw threads for extra points

guess it had to happen eventually

You can even get braided for extra bite and fancy colors

I kind of want them, but I'll need to wait for income to happen. Perhaps I'll save up over the winter.

Get a job

Got any good ones?

I have an alright one, simple work, nice pay and a free workout. Its not hard

enviable, mine were all low pay and soul-devouring work, without even the workout benefit. I guess the view was nice a couple of times.

I'm gonna make it but I'm beyond suffering for pennies.

Software QA if you know what pressing F12 in your browser does.

I got a whole roll of aluminium tape today, what should I do with it?

How is that better than the Street Triple?

Fleshlight

What does polarised lenses do? I got a pair of sunglasses with it and cant notice anything really but when I put my visor down everything gets really funky, I'm guessing my visor is also polarised?

Has anyone accomplished this U-turn stuff? youtube.com/watch?v=8ZFdxEWpefI

If I have spare time I will practice it. How likely as a noob will I drop my bike?

U turn on a bike?

Hold the front brake, pin the throttle and swing 'er around!

post bikes

Yes, practiced it a few time and can ride, figure-8s in full lock.
You probably won't drop it, it looks harder than it is - when in doubt, twist of the wrist

I was reading the archives. archive.4plebs.org/o/thread/16892344/#16893220

So every single night? Really? I don't really use my bike often. But if I have to. Then I have to.

No new pics yet.
Just got the front tire in the mail, gonna get it changed next week.
I really wanna go for a ride, but I feel like 28hrs of no sleep on a bike is a bad idea.

How about the least hipster bike?

Don't care how it looks, just want to go out and ride it.

cbr600, gsxr600, zx6r, r6

>answers are all extremely stylish, but boring and characterless bikes that 90% of riders buy for the image

pre-owned, wrecked ducati 899 with half its fairings, a rattle can job in flat black, and lewd /osg/ slaps wherever they can fit

I guess it would depend on the year.
I for one think the cbr isn't that stylish.
But they're all fairly decent at being a bike.

But if you have a criteria for how it looks, then you have a preference for how it looks. And the wording would make it seem as though you want an ugly bike, which is a really hipster thing to do.

Either this, a 80s/90s two smoke race replica (nsr250r, rg500, etc), a dakar-winning production bike(original GS, Super Tenere 750, etc) or a dual sport.

anyone had his 12000km inspection done for an SV650AL7 yet?

Or other comparable bikes?
My mechanic says it will cost around 450€ euro which I find frankly to be insane.
