First for ABS
finally got the previous thread right this time
>>29133903>made is usaHELL YEAH BROTHER
>>29133903The leaves are finally turning here
> my thread got deletedOk ok if it's going to be like that
>>29133924Jannies have been on a warpath with dbt threads lately, they hate motorcycles
I never asked for this
You forgot the title, it happens. I figured you had deleted it, but I'm not even sure if you can delete your own thread OPs. I make like 1 thread a year and forget the title field.Maybe this will make you smile:https://youtu.be/pKqHiLMADm4
>>29133952ofc it did
I just realized my tires are asbestos reinforced. Based.
>>29133931Whoa
It’s gettin chilly in the mountains, half of the ride yesterday was in the clouds. Any recommendations for heated gloves when it gets really cold out?
>>29134183Heated gloves: You have to remember to take them with you and keep them charged, or somehow run power to each hand and plug them in. Heated grips: Buy once for the same price, install, you always have them. If possible, put heat shrink on the left bar BEFORE you put the left grip on to prevent the bar leeching half the heat output.
>unsure what my dream bike would be>find out this exists
Back from Wales. Spent today cleaning the sheep shit off it.
>>29134217A gsxr?
>>29134228Always found Wales not that dramatic, nothing to do, and too out of the way. And they've put cameras on all the good roads.
>>29133918hell yeah brotherhell yeah>>29134183Dont listen to this guy>>29134216Gerbing heated gloves, wire directly to battery, they give you fuses. Never need to remember anything. "somehow run power" it's called a wire. Also lets you expand to more heated gear in the future, ride all year. Heated grips suck and stink because most of your hand is still in the cold. The heating element is on the wrong side of the glove. If you're buying electrics, buy the heated gloves. If you have six or seven braincells and don't mind keeping things charged - after all, these days we're charging phones, helmet coms, and more - then they even sell 7volt battery operated glove liners. >>29134228>wales>cleaning the sheep shit off itoff your knob, presumably
>>29134242I genuinely do have severe working memory problems so having as much stuff be bolted to the bike/live with the bike helps me. I guess I'm not able to picture how the heated gloves connection works safely/conveniently if you're actually plugging them in. I pair heated grips with bark busters and have pretty thick rain gloves.

>>29134230If you wanna be obtuse and reductionist, yeah. It's a sexy GSX-1100. I could try and find one of the three they made, commission a replica, or find a Bimota SB6.
>>29134234I enjoy the remote trails and farm lanes :)>>29134272How do people cope without screens...
>>29134301without a windscreen? it honestly really sucks over like 75mph lol. my helmet catches a lot of wind too and shakes my head around, pretty annoying.
>>29134305I spent years riding nekeds, I tried a full screen ONCE. I could never go back.
>>29133975riding with a trench coat is very fun it flaps everywhere and makes me feel like batman or something
How do I do a headless horseman costume on my bike while still having a helmet on?
>dude accidnetally makes /dsg/ - daily sc00t general>theres mroe fun posts than /dbt/ rn bring back /dsg/!!evidence >>29125721
>>29134365Yes do that so all you toy enjoyers can go away. Then there's space for actual motorcycles again.
>>29134244I can take pictures tomorrow before I commute to work. But you attach one pair of wires to your batter, at the end of which is an SAE lead. You zip tie that somewhere convenient on your bike, e.g. near the front of your seat on the frame, somewhere like that. Then there's a y-harness. It's a small box with three wires coming out of it. Put it in an inside pocket of your jacket. One long wire runs out the bottom of your jacket, and you plug it in to the SAE lead. I leave enough wire slack so that I can stand up on the pegs. That leaves two wires. Each goes up one arm, and terminates in a male plug. That plug goes into the glove or glove liner. The box has temperature controls on it, or you can bolt a wireless controller to your handlebars if you want to be able to change the settings without taking something out of your pocket. I can take pictures on my commute to work tomorrow, it should be 45 degrees when I leave my house according to the weatherman so I probably don't need the heated liners, but I'll show you anyway.

the buell frame looks so good i cannot understand why harley felt the need to take it out back and execute it imagine if the street 750 used this frame
>>29133809Didn't realize someone made a new thread oh sheesh, wanted to show off my sick new ride in action
I want the Fat Boy from T2, but also don't really want a Harleycan I just buy a V Star 1300 and LARP?
I want a Street Triple 765 RS, but I always put tank grips on my bikes and it'd be a sin to cover up the gorgeous RSes on the sides of the tank. Should I just accept getting my nuts crushed every time I brake hard? Why did putting designs there become a trend? BMW M bikes do the same thing, put the most distinctive design of the bike on a part that gets covered up by riders that know ball.I know Triumph's coming out with a new generation of Street Triple, but I'm buying used. I've had a 2010 and a 2016 Street Triple in the past and wanted to branch out into something different, but they're just too damn good.
>>29134525they sell translucent tankpads anon
>>29134533Aren't the Stompgrip Volcanoes pretty aggressive for the street? Are they going to tear up my jeans if I'm not wearing leathers? The Icons make the graphics look way too blurry.
>>29134525stomp grips
>>29134553holy fuck you are a fag
>>29134553>The Icons make the graphics look way too blurryIf that's too much for you man I don't know what to tell you man, do like texas anon and spray hairspray on your jeans maybe?
>>29134557Just answer the question retard, people like you are why this site has sucked for ten years.>>29134567I was more so just asking if the Volcanoes tear up your gear, the graphics come through just fine with those ones. I've only ever used TechSpec and never had any problems, but nobody ever accuses those of being too aggressive.
>>29134572>I was more so just asking if the Volcanoes tear up your gearWouldn't know, but I imagine I wouldn't trust any riding jeans to protect if they get hurt by rubbing up against some raised surfaces
>>29134572holy shit just buy some and try them you can make them less grippy if you need to. But I'm the retard? here's another brand too:https://www.eazi-grip.com/shop/eazi-grip-triumph-street-triple-765-2023-2026-clear-tank-grips/retarded fag
>>29134373The y-harness in the jacket makes MUCH more sense than power cables all the way to the bars to plug into each glove, thanks.
I kinda want to to upgrade/sidegrade from my old Ninja 650/ER6F (why they called it the ER6F in Europe is beyond me) to something that feels a bit less bargain basementy, doesn't have a parallel win, and has more sovl. Pic related, each of these early/mid 2000s bikes can be picked up for around £2-2500. Triumph Sprints are a diamond dozen over here and were never very fashionable so can be had for even less, like £1700.The most logical, bang for buck bikes would be the Sprint ST and VFR800, but desu I'm not a spirited rider and I'm not even skilled enough to use the 75hp Kawasaki to its full potential, so they seems like the same, just a lot more of it. I like the idea of mile-munching cruisers but I've never really owned one (my first bike was a SR125 but that doesn't count because everyone loves their first bike). A Ducati Monster might be cool but getting one on the lower price of spectrum might turn into a money pit.Which one should I go for? Any other bikes I should consider? I could double me budget and save for longer if it's a particularly enticing bike.
>>29134607>VFRyes viffer
>>29134596Yes you are retarded, I asked you a question about something you own (which you still never answered) and you immediately flew into an illiterate rage and assumed I don't know how to use Google. Why do you come here? To complain about ABS?
>>29134607I already told my sentiments towards the Triumph and you said it wasn't up to snuff then.Despite their power on paper, they aren't that fast. They're extremely smooth, calm and predictable bikes, none of that violent "strapped to a firework" feeling of jap bikes.I'd take the Sprint RS I had over any pf the jap bikes I had before it and it's probably the only bine I kinda regret getting rid of.
>>29134614holy fuck its like talking to a retarded woman.buy them. try them. quit crying about it you fucking loser
>>29134624Yes, I'm sure getting irrationally angry at women you are much dumber than is an experience you're intimately familiar with.
>>29134617Yes and thanks bb. That sentiment is exactly what soured the Triumph for me. I think going slower but feeling faster is a lot more important than going faster but not noticing that you are, >violent "strapped to a firework" feeling of jap bikes.yes please. more of that please. I'm a histrionic woman on her period, bearing quintuplets. Don't bikesplain me with your logic of refinement and smoothness, make me feel something down there instead.

>>29134708I think ABS exists for a reason and there are use cases where it is helpful and situations where it isn'tswitchable ABS probably best for the vast majority of riders>>29134734nice meteor, very slick looking bronze coloris that a bracket for a windshield on the handlebars?>>29134742I work nights so I daylight savings has never really affected me much outside of giving me some free overtime every now and then. I guess losing or gaining an hour of sleep affects you more than you'd think
>>29134727ducati is a chinese shitbike?
>>29134768Yes it is. I found the windshield to be kind of useless. I'm in that sweet spot of buffering. Adding an extender did nothing, so I sawed it down to a tall flyscreen.I only really use it when I go for long highway trips in winter or when there is 100mm+ (1/4 inch) of rain.Last week the city north of mine got 400mm (an inch and half) of rain in about 4 hours.
As soon as make that post god has found a new method of murder motorcyclist.

>>29134790I've found having a windshield really helps cut down on wind noise in my helmet even with earplugs, can't live without my windshield anymore

Hey dudes, after years of being a nobike lurker I finally got my first bike 2 days ago.>She’s beautiful, and I’m in love The Australian-spec KLX300 won me over the DRZ4S, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. (6’3” 220 lbs and she fits better than azn puzzy) Just want to say thank you guys for inspiring me to be a rider and making me laugh along the way. It’s been a rough journey to finally be here, and now a decades old dream has finally come true. My bad for cringe posting, just know that your posts over the years truly incentivized my drive to be a rider and I appreciate this thread for being that escape from the mundane. Now, I’ve never felt more liberated. Well, here’s to the next adventure. Safe travels dudes!
>>29134488This isn't really a fair read on the circumstance, Mr. HitlerHappened during the GFC, Harley was lucky to survive at all >>29134505No, the fat boy is a great bike, and if you want something for emotional reasons and you get something else, you're always gonna be disappointed. >>29134926congratulations anon enjoy it
>>29134926hyb u’ll be able to take a roighteous rip all over the barbie or whatever
Had to bump start my bike this morning, I dont know why. I have never had good luck with motorcycle batteries. This battery is only a year old and I had two nice long highway rides last week.
>>29134488Aluminum deltabox frames were all the rage at that moment. It would be a hit now that robot welders cost less than the bike they're welding.>>29134926Congrats! Good choice of bike!
I haven't ridden in over a month.
>>29134971Sounds like it's not charging. :-( >>29134702THe schizo posting has discouraged some peeps. Also the recent news has the naziposters down in their feels.>>29134831I know that city

>>29134702It always gets dead this time of year. Most people don't ride in the cold, and much of North America and Europe is seeing temperature in the 30's and 40's in the mornings by now. >>29135079I picked up an MCN special on motorcycle racers over the years at Barnes and Noble this weekend but haven't had a chance to look at it yet. Anyone else here getting periodicals? I subscribe to American Motorcyclists, Rider, and RoadRunner.
Im eyeing the 1997 BMW f650 as my next bike and first big bike, probably for summer of next year. Its the only BMW bike interesting me, so I wanted to know from anyone if it's an old bike I should avoid, or if there's anything I should look out for. I'm in the midwest united states and the prices I've seen have been as low as 2k and as high as 4500.
(almost) new rider here, have my unlimited power final exam next month, ive been looking at used 600/650 bikes, my search basically narrowed down to these bikes>Suzuki SV650s early 2000's>Yamaha FZ6>Kawasaki Versys 650 (post 2020 because the versions before that look like shit with the cyclops headlight)the first 2 are the cheaper but considerably less modern. Does anybody have experience with these 3 bikes? im curious about handeling/problems with the bikes that happen alot. im going to a large bike shop this weekend that has all 3 of them in-store, to sit on them and see how they feel to me. also im in my 30's im not gonna ride like a retard.
>>29135082>wrenchletlist the stages from wrenchlet to wrencher I want to know where I stand
>>29135099It's a cool bike. Rotax engine is pretty toughCommon failure points are the voltage regulator and water pump. The pre-1996 Models have a circlip holding the front sprocket and I've heard some horror stories about it detaching. 1997 has a nut though so no worries thereI wouldn't say it's worth more than 3k though.
how do i simultaneously love clubmans and hate anglo-saxons t. welshman
>>29135132Versys 650 engine has no sovl, even speaking as the thread's biggest p-twin enjoyer. I'd try the FZ6 to experience four cylinders, if it's not for you you can always trade it for an SV650.
>>29135132I have some experience with SV650 and Versys 650. Don't buy those, get a Vstrom 650, trust.
>>29135208Retarded take. A Vstrom is a top heavy clunker for a streetbike. The SV650 is much easier to handle day to day.

Kawasucky keeps releasing bikes nobody wants or needs. This time cruise controlled KLE650 adventure pisstwin bike with no ground clearance and 15L of fuel for ten grand. Literally sent an intern into the warehouse and asked to assemble a bike out of shit he finds there. Curious if we are getting a promo video with bottomed out suspension this time.
>>29135304Yeah.
>>29134691Do they help when standing up?
>>29135304Man the intern coulsve slapped a h2 motor and superchargwr in there, but noooooo, had to use up all the old inventory to make way for drone production for war economy interests innitIs it fuel efficient enough with a 15L tank or is that gonna be the straw that cucks the camels hump?>>29135306What is that rear hub silver thing?

>>29135407I don't know how the desert-x does it, but a lot of other bikes have a button or a switch, so it's one step. If you're a true old salt who only loves his carbureted antiques, you are already used to pulling a choke, so one button push shouldn't be a problem.

Military riders, how much gear do you wear when you're riding in uniform to and from work? A helmet and gloves are a given because they won't even let you on base if you're not fully covered, but where do you draw the line? Do you wear an actual motorcycle jacket over your cammies in the summer? Do you wear motorcycle boots and change into your regular boots when you get to work?
>>29135572seem like standard gears

In Bakuon!!, the mysterious Jesus-looking biker rides a Suzuki Intruder Classic, an American-style cruiser with lots of chrome, large fenders, and a classic-looking seat. バイクマン Character: Jesus (ジーザス) Motorcycle: Suzuki Intruder Classic Episode: Episode 11 Funny detail: Hane mistakes it for a Harley-Davidson, and he corrects her by explaining that it's a Suzuki.
>>29135819The Lord rode into Jerusalem on an ass, a lowly creature, so I think He would have ridden a scooter. But He will come again, riding a Fat Boy.
>>29135929Jesus wasn't a nice guy though
>>29135985>on an ass, a lowly creature,out of all the possible farm livestock to get as a pet, i think I would choose a donkey. you have to get 2 though, they need a friend. I don't have enough land for them though. and the neighbors would be gay about it.
>>29135985Is that why he's taking so long?
>moto guzzi making a parallel twin>harley davidson making a single cylinderThe world is all topsy turvy...
>>29136045Looks like the Guzzi is just an Aprilia 457 wearing some new skin. Not sure why it has to be branded as a Guzzi but I guess the smaller bikes sell well.
>>29136050made in india no doubt
>>29136050Small bikes are just more practical. These days a 500cc engine can do highway speeds comfortably and it's a hell of a lot cheaper. Small bikes are filling the niche cars had for a lot of people.
>>29135572I'll be honest, I kind of just embrace being a squid when when I'm in uniform. All I wear are a helmet and gloves, and even in the winter I just wear my cold weather softshell jacket instead of a riding jacket. I get all suited and booted when I'm going for a proper rip, but I quite frankly just can't be fucked to change into a separate set of gear when I already have to bring a fuck ton of work gear with me on a daily basis. I feel like a movie star riding around in my flight suit though, even if they're basically the same as wearing pajamas.
>>29136061>These days a 500cc engine can do highway speeds comfortably and it's a hell of a lot cheaper.Lying piece of shit. The new Kawasaki Versys 650 could barely hold 120 kmh, was whining like it's gonna explore and burning 2L more fuel than my litre+ bike. The engine is from Ninja 650 btw. This displacement is an absolute minimum for the highway and even then it's a struggle to ride like that for more than 50km.
>>29136082I ride a 500cc scrambler and it can reliably get to 100 miles per hour. It comfortably does 90. I don't know what you're doing wrong.
>>29136082My NC700 (god bike, btw) only makes 50 horses and I routinely ride it for 6 hours a day on the highway going 75mph sustained. For a Versys 650 to struggle like that you must weight 400 pounds or something. Or you're lying.
>>29136092It's funny because I have ridden my 500cc scambler, which is not a particularly fast modern 500, at between 75-90mph for hours at a time and I actually am a fat guy. I had the thing more or less doing 75 miles per hour for a 750 mile ride in one day without issues. Rode from missouri to pennsylvania. The chain wasn't happy by the end of it but the rest of the bike didn't seem to mind.
>>29136085>I ride a 500cc scramblerModel?
>>29136092NC is an exception with low RPM on every speed. It's a car engine after all.
>>29136110It's a honda scrambler. That's also the model name. They were very creative when the named this bike. It's got 46 horsepower but I'm also fat, have a topbox and had about 30 pounds of cargo in a decently sized duffel bag.I don't know what the fuck this guy did to his versys to make it so slow.
>>29136082I've held a fucking wr250r at 81mph for hours on end. Skill issue.
>this game runs just fine on my starter PC>look inside>23 fps Same shit with people claiming they ride 100mph whole day on their 250cc just fine. You can lie to cagies like that, but not to those who have experienced an actually comfortable fast ride.
>>29136124>My life is like a video game
>>29136082>The new Kawasaki Versys 650 could barely hold 120 kmhAre you telling me the Versys 650 could barley hold 74.5 mph? Was there something wrong with the one you rode?
>>29134708Why is the ZX4R so hated here? I hear more of the ZX6R being hated, but mostly due of the retards riding them making tiktok videos.Also motorcycle_files aka "look at little angus" on IG is fucking hilarious, he also is one that says ZX4R > ZX6R, but maybe that has to be due of 600s, the kawi 636 is the weakest of the Moto2 ready bikes, and sadly is the only one still around since Yamaha killed the R6>>29134734Nice, hows the meteor holding up with the luggage?
For me personally something like 70 horses seems like the bare minimum to be both comfortable and safe in all conditions. If it was time like 20 years ago, I'd say 50 HP is fine. But now cars are faster and you need to match that because you still want to get away from dangerous situations with a flick of a wrist. And where I live many cars are powerful enough to do quick overtakes so it's expected for a bike to be able to do the same to make things flow smoothly.
>>29136131>Why is the ZX4R so hated here?It's not, it's one schizo that was shitting up dbt for a solid year screaming in every single thread about the bike when it came out. Thankfully he's either gone or he's still here and screams about javascript or threads being made at 310 replies. I think it's the same guy.
>>29136139>I think it's the same guy.Kys newfaggot jeet script cunt
>>29136139ZX4R ,I'll assume because I'm old that's a parallel twin.My ZRX400 was a retro bike that looks like a Z1.Bikes in the US are not bikes that the rest of the world know.
>>29136154The nobike is immunized against all dangers: One may call him a shitposter, jeet, schizo, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a nobike and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: "I’ve been found out".
>>29136158>ZX4R ,I'll assume because I'm old that's a parallel twin.No, we're talking about the ZX4RR that came out in 23 or 24 (I don't remember), it's a 4 cylinder that makes some anons froth at the mouth, like this guy>>29136154
>>29136162Can you get a supercharged one yet?That would probably spin the rear in all gears.
>>29136165It's still a 400cc, it's not going to blow your socks off. Uncorked it only makes like 75hp. It's simply a small four cylinder for the love of high revs.
>>29135851Try seeing if you can get prescribed adderall, a lot of places will try and get you to get Ritalin first because it’s cheaper but adderall is way more effective at actually calming you to organize your thoughts rather than just the straight energy boost you get from Ritalin
>>2913617160hp in a small bike will make 135 mph.If you need to go faster legally then get an aircraft.
>>29136197You said "spin the rear in all gears", not me, fucking retard.
>>29136113Do you just not like the way an engine sounds? You can stay at 6000rpm all day and make 50 horsepower, that doesn't stress the engine in the slightest>>29136124who claimed 100mph? you have to invent things to seem sensible. Both myself and the fellow with the scrambler report 75mph sustained comfort. Maybe you're particularly sensitive to engine noise or vibration, I suggest ear plugs and bar end weights. >>29136133>i'm gonna get away from the dangerous situation by speeding upI prefer to get away from dangerous situations by slowing down. There are times where I see something coming and I think "I could avoid this if I were on a faster bike by speeding up, but I'll have to slow down instead." That's okay.
>>29136208Slowing down is more dangerous than accelerating to get around the issue. You need to get away from the fuckery as fast as possible. Slowing down just keeps you near the danger for longer.
>>29136230Approximately the danger moves away from you at 1.5 feet per second per mile you slow down or speed up. I think even a fast bike will slow down from 75 to 50 to 35 faster than it can speed up from 75 to 100 to 115. You can probably construct a scenario in your head in which speeding up is the superior option, but it's difficult to construct a scenario in which speeding up is a superior option and it's also the ONLY option.
>>29136208Sure I also prefer to chill and slow down. But sometimes you are surrounded by faggots that deliberately stick close to you, box you in, or suddenly start driving at the exact speed to leave you. And sometimes you can get some sketchy shit with merging because it's simply not easy for others to judge speed of a bike and distance to it (nobody's fault, bikes just don't proportionally fill the field of view at the same rate as wider vehicles do as they approach).
>>29136230I tries explaining this multiple times to my friend with his fz6Boomera glued to the news hear one false fabricated story about "the danger of speeding" and now its ruled out you cant do that in the city deapite the fact it will save your life being that youre maneuvering on a smaller vehicleI dont think he is going to get his license next yet, he failed this year already 5 mins into his exam because the instructor didnt feel safe behind him5 mins into a construction zone near the facility while it was raining all sub 40kphYeaaaaaah
>>29136239*leave you in the blind spot
>>29136235I think the issue with that is that the situation is dangerous behind you as well as in front of you if you slow down. If you accelerate through it the danger is in a single fixed point behind you once you clear it.
>>29136239Like I said, you can construct a scenario, but you've already made a mistake in this scenario that can be avoided in other ways. I think for me the most plausible counter example is actually "eighteen wheeler fails to see you and tries to merge into you, when you're closer to the cab than the rear, and when there is no available shoulder". Perhaps a very powerful bike has time to accelerate ahead of it while a slower bike could not, while neither bike could get behind it by breaking. But consider the combination of variable required. We're talking about a LOT of power needed to get acceleration by throttle anywhere close to acceleration by braking, plus you have to have made prior mistakes. Failed to see the tractor trailer coming up on you, failed to note that you would not have an escape route, failed to add slight additional speed to keep ahead of while there was no escape route. I want to address your example the same way. >sometimes you're surrounded This would have to be deliberate on the parts of the driver. You, being a skilled rider, know to leave a large lead time between you and the car in front of you. So one person would have to cut in front of you, while someone was riding their rear, so they're immediately next to you, while someone is ALSO coming to tailgate you while you ALSO have no shoulder to escape into to slow down in. In this case, it's not clear what rapid acceleration does for you, and the best solution to being "boxed in" is to very gently slow down so that the person tailgating has ample time to react. >some sketchy shit while merging Merging shouldn't require anyone on the highway to react to you, since even a slow bike easily reaches highway speed on the on ramp, and can merge seamlessly, so I'm not sure the particular sort of scenario you have in mind.
>>29136256I'd also add that if you slow down from 75 to say 25 to avoid danger, and still get into a wreck, you've now wrecked at 25mph. Your survival chances are looking good especially with an airbag and helmet. On the other hand, if you accelerate to 100mph trying to avoid danger, and still get into a wreck, you've now wrecked at 100mph. So you have to balance the probability not only that speeding up is more likely to succeed than slowing down, but the probability of good outcome if the selected maneuver fails.
>>29136256By merging cases I meant for example when someone is close to clipping you in the rear when merging into your lane from a short onramp. And you can give distance to people in front you as much as you want, but it doesn't mean shit when someone is tailgating you and you know the traffic will be stopped not far ahead where you'll have to bunch up together regardless. If you have a chance, why not get away for a bit, slow down near the jam, observe what's behind you and position yourself accordingly (or filter) ?Also you CAN get boxed in without intentionally hostile actions on part of anyone in dense traffic. For example, when you are in one of only two available lanes, the lane next to you is full of cars, and someone carelessly follows you close by it's not a good situation to be in. Because if someone merges in front of you too closely forcing you to brake it's quite a bit more sketchy than as if you'd be in a car. Firstly because you're squishy and secondly, again, because the driver behind you will judge your decrease in speed worse than when he would have observed another car.Also mistakes- yes everyone can make them. If I mess up with stuff like coming out of on main road with car approaching too soon it's still good to have an option to correct and speed up quite a bit harder. Why deny yourself having extra tools in the toolkit?>>29136262My point anyways is that you need acceleration, including when you're already at highway speed. A2 bikes just don't quite have the guts at that point. Going way faster than the traffic on the regular is not what I advocate for.
When I started riding I bought an all-year jacket with a bunch of zippers for airflow plus a waterproof liner plus a thermal liner. It's fine in the summer when I'm not wearing the liners but in the winter with the liners in it's too bulky. I'm thinking about getting just one waterproof jacket with zippers for airflow for summer and one waterproof jacket with padding to keep me warm in winter. Is this a good or bad idea?

>>29136272>why not get away for a bit, slow down near the jam, observe whats behind you, and position yourself accordinglythat's the wrong approachit's less safe than slowing down very gradually on approach if a guy is tailgating you, and there's a jam coming up, do you expect he's going to react well to the jam? or do you expect him to come up on you quickly, and perhaps misjudge his braking distance? by braking slowly for a huge distance you give him a huge margin to slow down, and when you reach the jam you're already at the right speed to start filtering if it's slow enough. if it's not slow enough, you've caused the tailgater to slow down with a safe margin. >why deny yourself tools i'm not saying a faster motorcycle doesn't give you another option, my first post i said that exactly. i often notice when "speed up" is an option i don't have available. what i'm saying is "speed up" is virtually never the safest option. you have exactly the wrong view on how to safely deal with tailgaters. if you're getting tailgated, and you speed up, 99/100 times you're just getting tailgated at a higher speed. now you're coming up on a jam at a higher speed. now you have to brake harder. now you're asking the tailgater to brake harder. you've gotten yourself into a mess. >>29136281one good option is a cold weather suit, and wear casual spring gear underneath, something like those halfway to a jacket riding shirts and riding jeans.

>>29136367You can still slow down gradually after you've gotten ahead but you do you I guess, just know that if you get sandwiched at slow speeds you still might get crippled or killed. Filtering is not always an immediate option either. I simply wouldn't ever ride or drive assuming people have full attention or that the mistakes are off the table. >if you're getting tailgated, and you speed up, 99/100 times you're just getting tailgated at a higher speedSee, that's why you don't rely on this as a permanent measure.With all that said, I would still indeed just simply keep distance or slow down most of the time, but first I judge the behavior of cars around me. There is an exception though where I would never pick the more passive approach. If I'm on a road with a single lane in each direction and I'm in front of a column waiting to overtake a slower vehicle, you bet I'm going to blast ahead the first chance I get. Choosing to not use opportunities will just either make overtaking more dangerous for others behind you or provoke bad behavior. Giving space for someone to escape a failed overtake is fine but still why be in a situation with irritated drivers in the first place.

You're requiring more precise manufacturing with tighter tolerances and more parts in general that you won't find a customer for. Nobody wants to pay extra for a tiny bike that won't even perform better or offer more comfort. Big bikes like CBX, KZ1300 and K1600 at least do make sense as you're already in the class in which people are willing to pay more for nice stuff.DESU it's getting hard to justify even bikes like ZX4RR these days that is 4pot, glad we have it.

>>29136638If you slow down gradually after you're ahead you're asking the tailgating driver to judge speed and distance in a more difficult situation since he's now approaching you at an even higher speedYou're making elementary mistakes of driver psychology that they go through in defensive riding courses You do you, but I recommend taking defensive riding and driving courses, where they will explain in more detail than i'm willing why you're making bad decisions on the road. Of course if your rationale includes "man, slowing down is usually boring, fuck that" then in balance, who am I to tell you not to go fast? >>29136677>tfw no mega cruiser harley V6 330cc a cylinder would get you to 121cui, the same as the current crop of dressers.

>>29136959Minsks are cool, I've been looking for a Minsk/Moskva M1 for quite some time now.And dneprs are quite different from Urals, they're actually more related to airhead BMWs than Urals are.KMZ took their OHV development to a different, more complex direction whereas IMZ kept it simple.There's endless argument over which one is better.I'd say technically, on paper the KMZ OHV engines are superior, but in practice the build quality just wasn't there to make it work.KMZ engines ditched slinger plates and roller bearings for an oil pump and plain bearings on the conrods.The crankshaft is hollow and one piece, whereas in the IMZ it's 5 pieces and pressed together, the conrods instead being stuck inside the crankshaft assembly and riding on needle bearings.The KMZ engines also had a weird oil filtration centrifuge at the end of the crankshaft for some reason, IMZ just stuck an oil filter in the block and the feeble oil pump passes the oil through the cartridge to filter out shit.

>>29136979>I dont understand why people say thisBecause it's true. Retards who claim they do 120 kph on their 250 comfortably are either too dumb to understand how machines work or are lying about the speed or the comfort.

>>29137057im not being passive aggressive, i think its perfectly legitimate to say "one of my criteria for what maneuver i make on my motorcycle is how much i enjoy doing it. i don't make the decision based purely on what is the safest option probabilistically". I've already said I think you're making the wrong decision based on safety due to factors of eg driver's psychology, but i'm acknowledging that those arent the only things that factor in how someone decides to ride. >>29137099the only one too dumb to understand how machines work is you i started on a ninja 250, which I happily rode at 65mph all over long island on the long island expressway

>>29137099I put a seat concepts seat on the bike, it's pretty comfy. Is it pretty close to wide open at 75mph? Sure. Is it light enough to be blown around a little? Sure. Is the bike actively straining? No, it loves high RPM. You're retarded if you struggled with a twin cylinder anything at that speed.

>>29137122yeah Harley, Indian, the BMW retro boxer gearboxes (r18 and r12 in other words) as well as a smattering of gear boxes here and there, i remember my old concours gearbox as having a big thonk.
>>29137122Just get a bike with an up and down quick shifter and it becomes a non-issue.
>>29136979Anyone sane understands you both want and need a reserve in capability. Time to start bullying displacelets again I think, it's fine liking smol bikes but the needless coping is getting annoying.>>29136992This can be somewhat true but there's the completely opposite problem too when people see their bike do well up to highway speed so they assume the performance is as linear as with their car while their shitbike actually dangerously underperforms when they initiate certain maneuvers.
>>29137141You're the retard who claimed to struggle with a fucking LIQUID COOLED 650, you do not get to talk down to fucking anyone.
>>29137143aaand the damage control immediately begins LMAOand no, I'm not that guy, for me a 650 ptwin is actually quite enoughTime to bring back leaderbike-only threads (and no, 999cc does not count)

>>29135330In Australia, the KLX is taller than the DRZ and has more ground clearance and longer suspension travel than the model sold elsewhere. It meets the enduro requirements for road registration and has no ride modes, no traction control, and no ABS. It’s lighter, more flickable, tighter steering, and felt right when I sat on it. The riding stance is more aggressive with a slight lean forward. All in all, I recommend the Aussie KLX to anyone who can get one. I love it.

>>29137157Which one though? Makes all the differenceDid you go full power ranger core with leathers? Also makes huge difference in aura power levels
>>29137195Last time i checked, /o/ didnt like the civic type r because if some handling mene iirc
>>29137195>semi-automatic>does not shift for you>still needs clutch to move from a stop>can still use clutch to shift while moving
>>29137201Blippers and e crutches remove all skill required to effortlessly utilize a motorcycle. It's for poser pussies that aren't really about this life and lack the mental hardware to adapt
>>29137201>doesn't shift for youthat's why its SEMI automatic that's why the transmissions in F1 are SEMI automatic>still needs clutch to move from a stop Wow, you need to operate the clutch a half a dozen times per ride Let's call a spade a spade, it's a semi automatic transmission. You might as well have a DCT operated by foot lever. It's no better than paddle shifters. >but I CAN still operate the clutchIf you wanted to operate the clutch you wouldn't have a quick shifter, but you DONT want to operate the clutch, you want a semi automatic without admitting it to yourself.
>>29137196Picrel, don't have any leathers yet (trying to lose a bit more weight first)Would it be cringe to buy a Triumph jacket?
>>29137226>single side swingarmPapi cholo>all that baggagePapi chomoSimple asYou either embrace advdad sport touring multiclass and get an aerostitch/klim suitOrYou embrace blue poweranger and dump the bags on some homo collector and get the blue ASTARS or alternatively berik shoomersuit of perforated leather performance and you had best have a matching blue helmet- >mfw such a compromise between looking cool and having utilityPICK ONE YOU SICK FUCK, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE BOTHAHHHHHHHHHH
>>29137231I took this photo when I was bringing it home, I don't ride with the sides on daily if that counts for anything>blue everythingmaybe I will...
>>29137226I would also pass on the triumph jacket and go for a belfast one because thats more original english fashion and style- theyre more pricey than brqndname chynesium, but on the iff chance you sell and go into cruiser/cafe life; youll have a swanky set of leathers to embraceFrom what i hear belfast makes nice stuff, i almost got oneAlso i might get a $500 sale aerostich suit in BOLD RED COLORS to match my crf450rl, but since its snowing everywhere and i dont feel like investing in a set of studded sumos+fork seal+ suit+ new bucket to match+ i have surgery on my hand nov 15 and ill be unable to ride anyways---- all this seems overkill for a few days of feedback loops durinf the worst riding conditions imaginableNevertheless, i am curious on /dbt/ feedback regarding what sumo tires i should slap on and stud if that were to be a good option for some winter shoomsWhat are good winter tires even, i have no idea where to start for that asides from i want the lower clearance for balance with them instead of my dual sport wheelset
>Log in>scooter thread is topBring back /dbt/ - daily sc00t general otherwise I'm not posting my bike
>>29137234Well the revvit leather suits would honestly make symettrical sense for their logo and the triumphs linework/headlightI would get those if i was on a triumph, and in blue obviouslyI think the shoei rf1400 gundam blue matches your color somewhat, but you need to be in person to have a color match guarantee and preferably with natural lighting conditionsYou dont really need to lose weight on a 2 piece jacket, just the lower leather pants for waistline and thunderthighs, i would advise against a 1 piece unless you know what youre doing or go the advdad experience where baggy is preferredOr find a retro jacket and just call it a day with cheaping out, put money into the helmet, worry about pants when youre done counting atkins diet caloriesP.s. if you find picrel helmets on any of your journeys please let shoomers know, he really wants proprietary catears that arent fake and gay bolt-ons/glue-ons amazon cope tier chynesiumHe wants the REAL DEAL
>>29137201>>can still use clutch to shift while movingI've been thinking about it and depending on how directly the software actuates the clutches it could potentially be kosher but I'm a poorfaggot and I'll never drive this car.
>>29137226Don't listen to the other guy, I think you'd look very cool in leathers. You can split the difference with aerostitch transit leathers, or you can go blue power ranger, and you'll look like the cool mentor motorcyclist from twist of the wrist 2. >>29137253quickshifters usually turn off when you actually pull the clutch. but they're still extremely gay. one of the most fun elements of riding a motorcycle hard is accurately inputting quick downshifts and clutchless upshifts, and quick shifters take that away from you.
>>29137161The KLX300 and DRZ400E have: the same ground clearance, 315mmThe same seat height, 935mmBasically the same wet weight, 137kg vs 138kgThe DRZ has more suspension travel, 290mm front & 295mm rear vs 285mm front & 289mm rearThe DRZ has substantially more power, 29kW vs 19kWI would have chosen the DRZ. It's an all-round better bike with a much bigger after market.
>>29137270>and quick shifters take that away from you.im not talking about a quick shifter dumbass wrenchlet, im talking about an electronically actuated clutch and selector forks.
how do people get the balls to try to run with a piss twin? https://youtu.be/eydbyoDB4Yc?si=WCrzHfRF99zu4oJP
>>29137286Thr post you first replied to, >>29137139, only mentions a quickshifter with up and downshifting capabilities. The rider would still have to work the shift lever, it would just cut spark on upshifts and open the throttle on downshifts (assuming a RBW throttle body).

>>29137296The DesertX is pretty explicitly an Africa Twin/1290 Adventure R competitor.

>>29137298No worries
>>29137333They're on a big wide dirt trail that could fit a truck, not single-track. That's very much the home of a 21" front wheel ADV.
>>29137363he’d be faster and more in control and have more fun on a carburetted 125cc thumper from like 1970.
>>29137378With dogshit suspension and brakes? No, he wouldn't. That bike would also be objectively miserable to take any kind of distance, whereas the entire point of an ADV is a mix of touring and dirt bike elements.
>>29137272You forgot 25 year old top-heavy bike with shit suspension and carburetor and shit halogen headlight and shit gas mileage. C’mon man.
>>29137396Then you should have bought a WR250R. Unless significantly cheaper, the KLX300 is worse in every way.
>>29137410As a wr250r owner, you really have to know how to use the clutch to manage power, either of the other 300 Japanese dualsports have a lot more down-low grunt. One argument to be made for them over a drz400 is range, they can eke out a bit longer distance from the same size tank.
scored a whole set of plastics, taillight, turn signals, extra seats, seat cowl, and two extra sets of throttle bodies for my bike todayfor how much you ask? a hundo. a single hundo>WIN

>>29137099120 kph is only 75 mph.. Here's an XT250 test where he gets to 80, or 130 kph, comfortably, with more to spare.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFJmDzWB4F0he has 5 gears. Here's a KLX250 going 93, that's 150 KPHhttps://youtu.be/GYB8wdMBnMM&t=488He has six gears. These are dual sports with supermoto tires. A proper ninja250 with street tires would do over 100MPH, that's 160 kph.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OncEMxgbg8sJust tell us you've never been on a 250 without saying it, why don't you.This must be some dumb cunt bait and I fell for it.
>>29137566luv me the green lookall the ones I looked at were this ugly black freckled camo look and i hated it>>29137410I love the WR250R but it needs a little bit of work IMO I don't like the headlight.
>>29137558Shiieet. Hell yeah
>>29137574NTA but those dual sports will get left in the dust by my ancient 100 HP car which will top out near 200kph. Once something has nothing else to give while merely keeping up with the traffic it becomes a potential obstacle because you are incapable of overtaking.Still I'd like to try one of those dualies for forest trails, big thumpers are not light enough for me.

>>29134342I put screens on mine recently. No difference on one bike, if not slightly worse. It helps the other bike, its mirrors stick out and without the windscreen they buffet. The first one has barends and the clean airflow is okay on itself.
