Is there any other kind of Ducati rider?

...

First bike question: Buy a 250-300 bike

i still want 1 of these bad.

Riding is riding.
Doesnt matter what CC

Is AZ nice?
I'm considering cashing out my crypto and buying a condo around phoenix in order to the UTI motorcycle school, I don't know if I can stand the heat. I currently live a semi-NEET lifestyle with my mother in NY (I'm on Social Security because Schizophrenic), but I have 60K in crypto and good credit.
I'm also taking a CDL course right now so I can probably find a part time job easily.

It's too dangerous user

I still remember when Stefan Pierer Bill Ruger'd the shit out of KTMfags.

>Stefan Pierer Bill Ruger'd the shit out of KTMfags.

I have no idea what you're trying to communicate.

dumbest excuse to stop production.

yeah i dont know what he is saying either.

I believe it's a /k/ reference

In the 90s Bill Ruger, CEO of the Ruger company that produced firearms said "No honest man needs more than 10 rounds in any gun" during a hearing about the federal assault weapons ban and said his company wouldn't produce shit with 20-30 round mags anymore. It's kind of similar to Stefan Pierer going "KTM doesn't believe these superbikes have any place on the street," and then not letting people buy the RC8.

What if the only bikes I want/like the style of are too expensive?

Stop being poor

Lower your standards

You want a disposable one to start anyway. You'll feel horrible when you ding up a nice one when you're still learning

you aint kiddin KTM btfo themselves bad and I didnt buy a Ruger until after Ruger died

KTM have a long standing tradition of shooting themselves in the foot

Why did you remove your trip

Also, best dual sport reporting in

best disposable naked bike

SV650

A used SV650 that is beat to shit but still runs but sounds like Satan is getting rid of last night's taco bell when you turn it on.

should have said LAMS bike

Dont lower your standards to suzuki levels.
Youre better than that.

At least they weren't recommending the gs500

Have fun paying back your ssdi money leech.

that show is probably the main reason why a bmw gs1200 interests me

It's pretty much the main reason it's their best selling bike in general.
One day I want to be a retired accountant who does the GS trophy

ohh yeah i forgot about this they were pissed for a minute didn't they use bimmer for down too?

Yeah they did. They used 1150 for tlwr and 1200 for the tlwd.
Boorman has done other tours in Australia afaik

Harley is good

Aside from taxes on the crypto, I don't owe anything to the government. I might go off SSD once I get a real job, but I haven't done anything wrong.

the rc16 is the bike that is not allowed to be on the street which makes sense... every brand makes track only versions of their bikes.

Snow a good

>gets a real job
>gets a real Harley

>illiterate
I'm sorry you never learned to wear a helmet before you went down

Too lazy to find it. Also thats just a street bike with dirt tires senpai.

Durrr I own 1/1000 of a bitcoin
I am warren buffet everyone

Which magical alternate dimension are you buying post 2015 RC8s from?

Yours is a supersport with dirt tires, whats your point

Yah but my rally doesnt look like a cb. Thoes ktm enduros be superdukes trying to be a dirtbike.

in the reality where the rc16 exists...?
they cost like 100k and can not be road registered...?

trips confirm for based SV

What does the rc16 have to do with anything?
The RC8 was a street legal superbike which was pulled from production because the CEO thought it was unsafe

Post bike nocoiner

Nothing wrong with a 250/300 desu.

250cc dualsports are a bit ehh on the highway but other than that they're fine.

Except the enduro is good.
Honda made the rally shit because they are retarded and dont like fun

source?
i swear you are talking about how the rc8 was not put into production for the road because the ceo said it was unsafe for the road.
fuck he is a giant fuck head.

Calm down you two, neither of your bikes are real dirt bikes, now play nice.

>Thoes ktm enduros be superdukes trying to be a dirtbike.
Actually your original statement wasn't wrong. The 690E started out as the 690SM.

This particular statement though, is fucking retarded.

Insecure Attention whore is back.
Oh yay

Im just memeing about the orange cage like the superdukes have. Man gotta stop taking it seriously.
Been pretty fun so far desu.

The 690 enduro is 300 pounds dry mate, it's a thumper.

Riddle me this.
How can the 690 be 139kg dry but only 150kg wet when it has a 12 litre fuel tank (+12kg)
a 1.5 litre oil capacity in the engine (+1.5kg)
and about another 1.2 litres of fork oil there is another 1.2kg and i have not even mentioned the brake fluid or the rear shock.
so how is a bike that should weigh 157.5kg wet only weigh 150kg?

Something doesn't add up here, someone weigh a 690 wet.

Stop saying desu and senpai you absolute fag

> gasoline is as heavy as water
OK

690 is 330 something wet.

Also there is no actual agreed upon metric for wet or dry weight so you always have to take them with a grain of salt.

Samefag. Post bike.

>How can the 690 be 139kg dry but only 150kg wet when it has a 12 litre fuel tank (+12kg)
fuel=.7489 per liter=8.9868kg not 12kg

>a 1.5 litre oil capacity in the engine (+1.5kg)
oil=.8725 per liter=1.30875kg

>and about another 1.2 litres of fork oil there is another 1.2kg and i have not even mentioned the brake fluid or the rear shock.
oil=.8725 per liter=1.047kg

>so how is a bike that should weigh 157.5kg wet only weigh 150kg?
Fluids as calculated =11.4213kg+139kg=150.4213kg

wait...
did i just forget that oil and fuel weighs less than water?

that is what happens when newfags say desu senpai

...

mmmm sinpie sounds delicious

...

so who here likes mazda cause I do fight me

I think mazda gave up on motorcycles and for that they deserve no respect.

mazda doesnt make bikes and that makes me angry!!

I did not know this was a thing

Have you ever tried paddle wheels? Do the spikes work well?

Choose that Animal that morns your death!

It really is a shame they don't make motorcycles, given how good they are at producing affordable LIGHT WEIGHT vehicles, and also that they seem to be the only company pushing ICE tech forward.

Get a nice Indian at least

...

true...they could have had a wankel motor'd leaderbiek woulda been crazy

Considering that if I died on my bike the dog would never see the body, he'd probably just think I'd abandoned him

I'm really curious how heavy Mazda's upcoming HCCI engines are going to be. Dunno if they need to be overbuilt like a diesel.

I used to have a ford probe gt back in the day/it was my project car for a while. I swapped out the KLDE for a J-spec KLZE and ran msd window switches for the vris on the im with full exhaust short throw weight reduction etc. Was a close race against my brothers modded conquest tsi...was gonna supercharge it but got sick of waiting for the guy to finish the kit so took that money and bought my first street bike instead.

I don't get any thrill out of riding my machine because it's dangerous or I could die at any moment

You sound like a tremendous faggot

Stop riding a Ninja 650 Superbike then. Try a Ninja 250 Sportbike.

Daily reminder that if you're riding a sportbike or a sportnaked and you have any chicken strips you are LITERALLY a giant shitter.

>tfw riding on new set of tires in winter
>Chicken strips a mile wide

Same
Went out last night thinking I would go fast and burn some off, but I could see the reflection of incoming lights, the ground was so slippery

I have Rats. They're the dog persons rodent as they're social / hierarchical.

I have rats in my walls too. Hard to get rid of.

>waddling backwards to park
>almost slip and fall
>get off the bike and push
>still almost slip and fall

I used to shoot wild rats when I lived at home with mom and dad. Gotta compartmentalize that shit.
