first for KLR isn't shit

KTM isn't shit either. Honda a shit.

Kawi

Nearly everyone would dissagree
Both are good

buying a bonneville in the UK

First for Kawasaki Heavy Industries a best

A used DRZ400 is a superior buy compared to a used WR250R
Change my mind.
NB4 "FUCK SUZUCHI"

Why tyres are good? The bike I bought has michelin pilot 4, should I just stick with them when I need new ones? I'm mostly riding in the city with trips to the twisties on the weekends.

This is just bad b8

this is true

this is a bad meme

EFI > carbs

...

...

>change my mind
I would have to lie

What's the joke?

the superiority of DRZs hurts wrfags

Ok nobike
Ive done super rough shit on dual sport tires.
Its not a big seal with some skill.
Remember its 80% rider, 20% bike

Guess im failing to see whats superior about it

maybe you should open your eyes

my guy

How does Suzuki keep getting btfo? Even their babby shitbikes can't win.

Thinking of buying this. Should i go for it ?

>Scooter comparison

No. Im looking at the specs and i just dont see it.
The 250 is better.

Learn how to copy a proper OP, god damn it.
Fucking newfags.
Do I need to start posting GSes again?

Have there been any futuristic looking bikes that went into production?

>Ducati BMW and KTM are bikes known to have "premium" prices

>They aren't known for being super reliable or less maintenance intensive

What exactly are you paying for over one of the 4 Jap brands?

just get a real aprilia

Yeah, the GS 500 has a timeless design that still excites motorcycle enthusiasts to this day.

Best Katana

WR250R has way less power
>Im looking at the specs and just don't see it. The 250 is better

What did he mean by this?

>What exactly are you paying for over one of the 4 Jap brands?
a better to ride bike

What does that even mean? Their suspensions are better? Their seats are softer?

read the reviews and find out

its all about the FEEL bro. The euro bikes just FEEL better, nawmsane?

Has 4 less hp.
Also weighs less
Has better build quality
And with gytr parts matches the power and torque of a 400 while STILL being cheaper.
Plus doesnt have shoddy build quality and crappy old carb.

Thats just to name a few things

Post tendies

Highly impractical and expensive from where i come from.

If I went by reviews for price per performance then everyone would be buying FZ07s and nothing else.

These are good looking bikes but are there any that look crazy futuristic and unlike anything else?

I'd consider getting one but no dealers anywhere remotely close

Based

This one do anything for ya?

>price per performance
That's the reason you'd want a Jap bike
At the high end they don't really complete

Look I want to get a KTM RC 390 because a small aggressive as fuck sportbike appeals to me very much, but I look at the price and I hear about KTM's reliability issues and I wonder why bother and I should just go get a cheaper Ninja 300 or wait next year for a reduced price on this year's Ninja 400s that just came out.

what about the 2 stroke racebikes?
would be pretty awesome to rip around on
if not then i guess a scoot is your best option, i hear that one is good for the price

To me the Ducati 999 had a beautiful cleaned up, almost futuristic look.

its a lot less powerfull and a fuckton less torquey. It is significantly slower and lacks the ability to just pop the front wheel over obstacles with just throttle like a drz

Reminder:
youtube.com/watch?v=PBPDZiqgNTo

if you want a sportbike get a 600

...

NM4 is probably the most futuristic looking bike but it's pretty tryhard.

you just got to FEEL it bro

That looks like a scooter in disguise.

I had a CBR500 and now I have an FZ07, I want a low CC sportbike to fuck around on.

>gixxis
So it's the GSX-R (gixxer)'s sister? I like it.

see

Thats incorrect though. I know how to read, and what youre sayin is flat wrong

Those aren't sports bikes though. They're learner bikes to make boiracers feel less bad about them

It's also shit. The only pro if it is that it's cheap

Finally, a man with a refined palate.

>GSX-S1000Z
jesus fuck. could they have made a more boring name?

>classed as a sports bike
>some user says its not
Well now i dont know what to believe.
The manufacturer or some idiot online that is shit talking?

>Dumb goys pay more for Chinese/Indian/Taiwanese parts because the moto company is based in Europe so that means it must be higher quality

>sao
>patrician
What did he mean by this

Why do cars ALWAYS tailgate me on the freeway when I'm going the speed limit?
Even on the off-ramp they get as close as they possibly can behind me...
Don't they realize that I will fucking die if I have to abruptly stop for any reason?

what

The 2018 one, yes.
The GSX-S1000F has looks going for it as well IMO (though the Z1000SX is cooler), and I don't think shitty throttle response was an issue on the older GSX-S models -- at least I haven't heard anything about it. Should be fixable with an ECU flash, no big deal. The MT-09 had the same issue, it was fixed within months.

manufacturer can claim whatever bullshit they want, doesn't make them right.
suzuki claims their bike makes 200+hp but look

You mean some marketing fuck trying to shill budget bikes to street rossis vs rando on the internet who has nothing to gain from lying?

Probably because you should go with the flow of traffic not the speed limit. So like 10 over

motorcycle speedos are usually ~10% generous with your speed, so if it says you're doing the speed limit then you're sitting under it and pissing everybody behind you off.

also:
>going the speed limit

>a bike exists in a class because the manufacturer says it is
Really?

It's the exact same but with a fairing. Owners have complained about it for a long time

no u

Would love to but consider this
>Aprilia entered our markets beginning 2017
>Decides that people can either have a cheap fast scooter or have big expensive performance bikes.
>people buy the scooter.
>also, me being a city slicker need a quick runabout to replace my 3yo 150cc commuter.

That being said i would love me a Royal Enfield Himalayan tho.

Show me one (1) professional review from 2016 or earlier of a GSX-S 1000 F that mentions shitty throttle response.

So they're gonna put me in danger because I'm not going fast enough? That's fucked up.

Dang it, forgot the pic here ya go

I like the idea of a small, simple "adv" bike too but I really don't trust RE's quality control.
I'd love to have one of the old cast iron engine ones to fart around on though.

First couple of entries in Google.
Also to note that the 2018 in the video has the updated ECU and it's still an issue

RE admitted to those issues and are now trying to fix those in the upcoming continental and interceptor 650's

So what would happen if my bike calls for 3 liters of oil, I added 5.6 liters of oil, and I drove it around for months before changing it again?

Please respond.

how do you even fit that much?
i would assume some gaskets and seal took a hit with the extra oil pressure.

Thoughts on this one ?
>Shares underpinnings with the BMW G310R.
>Trying to compete with the KTM RC390

if it shares an engine with the G310R then it's lumpy as fuck

I literally dont know nothing about poo bikes m8, sorry.

Looks like a fat piece of shit.

So what am I in for?

How come there are still no good radar detectors for bikes?

Friend of mine has a black one. Looks pretty good

Slow rides and bad head gaskets

looks alright if that's worth anything.

You guys should see their previous effort to make a performance bike. BMW kinda saved them even if their engine is lumpy.

Not a bad choice

Post some ScEnIc PiCtUrEs of your bike
