First for in hindsight I should have made a new year-themed OP.

>tfw i bought a suzuki

I will ride with anyone in Cambridge, Bedfordshire or Milton Keynes

Anyone local?

>spend 300 dollarydoos on Kevlar jeans
>They fall apart
>Store says they have to send it to manufacture, could take weeks
Fuck me, I thought they'd just replace them on the spot.

>be nocar
>insurance slips me an offer to insure a car on my bike's policy
>look up some cars
>Realize that according to my company an rx8 is a 1300cc 2 cylinder car
>Literally cheaper to insure than a GSA or fjr
should I?

big spoon or little spoon?

At least it wasn't new, was it?

I bought a pair of stretch denim jeans that are the most comfortable pants I've ever worn but I can now never crash because they won't protect me from anything.

I'm not far off; down in Reading, but I'm looking to make longer trips.

What do you ride?

Do it, faggot. Even if only for the industrial liquidificator under the hood.

Reading is a bit too far to justify a few hours of riding, unless you know of anywhere particularly worth going. I ride a 125... so that too..

Little ofc

sorry guys I never understood this meme
why are we hating on suzuki exactly?

just shitpost harder so there will be another thread before new years eve

Need some good motorbike related youtube vids to watch boys

>I ride a 125
Fuck that, then. I'll look for decent roads up your way; long trips on a 125 are suffering.
There's a bunch of nice dual carriageways around Cambridge, but I despise the traffic calming in that fucking city.

Pick out a few hours' riding on nice roads you know, and I'll check it on google maps. I'm not long off a 125 myself, but I can ease off the gas a little to avoid leaving you begind.

same reason honda sucks
it's just a meme

Seems to me like people form arbitrary brand loyalties to their first bike.

>2:20:30

Duration isn't so much an issue for me, I remember the first day I got my bike, I did my CBT early morning, went home, got taxed and insured and then rode my bike for an additional 8 hours, was on the road for about 12-14 hours overall. Loved every moment of it.

I mean, I can at least promise that I can maintain at least 70mph, assuming conditions are good.
I'll have to come back to you later on in this thread or something as I have to go now though. Didn't expect a reply so soon, I was going to reply at the back end of the day desu.

I'm not all too familiar with Cambridge roads, but road signs aren't particularly hard to follow either so no biggie.

Just sew them yourself in the future, using the blown stitch as a guideline. Kevlar clothes are generally sewn together with normal thread and machine sewing is really flimsy to boot.

Get proper heavy cotton/aramid thread though. Normal thin polyester stuff from the corner pharmacy barely cuts it for normal sewing as it is, let alone anything protective

>stretch denim
lmao are you one of those adult baby people or somethin

I rode from the Netherlands to Prague on my Varadero 125 a few months ago. Only took back roads and stopped halfway to sleep. Had a great time, 10/10 would recommend.

>I can maintain at least 70mph
Doubt that on a 125, but I seldom get above that on regular twisties because I just don't know my bike well enough to do 80+ yet.

I'm still building muscle for my new bike's riding position, so stops every hour or two will be a must, so I can un-kink joints.

I've had two-stroke scooters that can hit 70

Tell me anons - why don't you ride the fastest accelerating production vehicle of the 20th century? Pic related.

How many Dutch anons are there itt actually? I've seen about three of four post, given the 1% rule, there might be enough for a meetup in the southern hills this summer.

because the nanny state won't let me and I bet they're not great for the autobahn without fairing

130kph cruising is just fine, anything above that becomes annoying in terms of wind. The real party piece is getting to 130 though.

...

200kph on my nekid is a bit exhausting but you can handle

>ugliest_thing_on_earth.jpg
FTFY

t. jellymad nobike

your PI is good

really need a new lid, and I have some christmas cash

are integrated HUD's in the pipeline yet?

100cc more than you
They're all scams
And they suck dick, mostly

Go away, faggot

he's right though

>Suzuki
Sexual

>I'll have to come back to you later on in this thread or something as I have to go now though. Didn't expect a reply so soon, I was going to reply at the back end of the day desu.
See you in the next thread, then. I shall dub thee 'cambridgeshite 125 user'.

it's the old Chevy guy shits in Fords game.

and Ford guys hate on Chevy's.

some old timers will literally follow you home from a random place and bitch at you because of something they saw on your truck doesn't match their perceived version of the ideal brand representation

>>Suzuki
>Sexual
finally, someone understands

Thats never happend to you and never will.

In general
>heavier
>slower
>poor build quality
>less reliable
Than all their competition. They just aren't worth wasting money on.

>being poor and not wasting money on more toys
Ha!

Poor people buy Suzuki
They are the cheapest (poor quality) brand.

>people don't own multiple brands and styles of bikes
It's like you hate fun

Anything Suzuki does, someone else does better.
It's got nothing to do with fun

Ok Mr grumpy :)

...

>worst in class for 250 and 450
Wew lad

...

lol

6th place out of 6th
XR650

>talks shit about brands
>literally doesnt even own a bike
Kys retard

I have 3 Hondas, 3 Yamahas and a ktm

Post them then buddy

I have before. Many times
Which would you like to see first?
FZ1
FZ07
WR450
KTM530
XR100
XL185S x2

I like Suzukis.

You like bad things?
Gain some self worth my man

Oh well

>5/7 bikes are shit
Really makes me think

Sweet opinion

Sure showed me

As is yours

Not even him. He posted facts however.
You're just mad and want to poke fun

>XR650
The L might be the successor to my 350 if it ever comes to that. Not like there'll be any new true dual sports in the future. My only gripe would be height, weight, and that used ones are overpriced. Most used ones were never ridden though so there's that.
I love my DR because it has ample power, sits around 300lbs, AND it gets 65-70mpg depending on how I ride. It'll hold 70mph all day on the highway and can do 80mph passes if needed. Not too large, not too small; perfect.
I'd like to see the 07. I want one.

...

Avatarfagging is against the rules, user.

Jelly

Sorry, 4/7
Thought you said fz10

I like this color

i like all the bikes

did happen to someone i know

Me too, but I'm thinking of getting a shitcar

kek

Wew

mmm

specifically? bad paint, and their spares are insanely overpriced; if you're using factory parts it's more expensive to repair a suzuki than an aprilia!

>comes pre rusted from the factory
Kek

Mmmmmm

Aprilia uses Suzuki parts tho

show me your 2017 R1 or S1000

Where can I compare prices?

Dealerships, really
You can get a rough estimate on online configurators, but that's without bonuses or dealer fees

This thread is full of Yamaha fanboys who think they're hot shit for riding a large displacement ptwin

>gets mad at a facts
Suzuki fags never fail to amuse me with their ignorance

Wait, what?
What large displacement p-twin does Yamaha make?

07 series doesn't ring any bells?
>MT07
>Tracer 700
>soon to arrive Tenere 700, which everybody is drooling over

Oh, and don't forget the 1200 Super Tenere.

>T7
>By the same geniuses who brought us the teneré 660
Lel, get ready for that hot 220kg, 60hp godmachine
Fucking pitiful

>Large displacement

Forgot the tenere was a ptwin
What a shitty bike

Especially with the 790 Adv coming soon too... Lol

>60 hp

Lmao, the 689cc p-twin makes 74 hp, While the old Minarelli 660 thumper made 48, to comply with the A2 license.

>48 hp
>over 200 kgs
>off road worthy

>660cc off roading motorcycle
>followed by a 689cc one
>KTM makes a 790

How long till they'll all go full BMW mode and make 1200cc+ "off roading" bikes.

I mean, Honda already copied the asymetrical headlight from BMW.

o.O
Those headlights look janky yet not bad

>retards badge whore benchracing mostly about irrelevant new bikes like whatever the fuck this is
why do i come here again

>why do i come here again

Because you have no friends and nowhere to go to on new years eve.

Honda copied it's own Dakar bike.

As for your question, Yamaha already has a 1200cc 'off road' bike ( ), Honda has a 1000cc one and Triumph is up there with them, too. And don't forget Ducati's Multistrada.

The guys who race these things have some huge nuts. Saw a group of ADV guys while I was dirtbiking and they were hauling ass. Terrifying as hell man
