Formula 1 podium from CMRA Round 1 Expert last month. It's basically unlimited class. The winner's laptimes were within about a second of the track . record. In anything below national level competition, the R6 is king.

Very fun going down the gravel road. Luckily no falls, but lots of skids. Looking for any that are webm worthy
>>14688931
cruisers are awesome if you just want to get high or drink a beer and go for a ride
like a big loud cloud
>>14688868
>>14688936
what is this the nerd brigade?
>>14688933
I've only seen one rulebook that banned 2 piece suits that zip together, and it was some regional land speed record organization that probably didn't care about bikes at all
>>14688902
easy buddy i think i saw a turn about a mile out. might wanna slow down.
>>14688940
you live in redondo brah?

Hmmm the post is what I want to hear, but the name is not...
>>14688936
just dont lean into corners on gravel and you wont go down, you lean the opposite direction on dirt and that lets you do the sick skids that make girls wet
>>14688996
fortunately for you, newfriend, i have the latest CMRA Rulebook handy.
are chicken strips a meme? if i'm on my around town bike i never get them
on my commuter bike where i'm mostly just going straight and fast i get them bad
why does everyone make such a big fuss over them?
>>14689000
You actually want to get off the bike when in poor conditions to reduce the lean angle of the bike itself
>>14689015
To be honest it is more of a meme to not have them, especially if you ride on the road exclusively.

>>14688961
what tires do they use for smashing the touge on those small bikes with narrow rims?
>>14689112
There are a lot of sticky tires for 250's anon. They even make racing slicks
>>14689100
If you saved your fucking money you'd have a grom by now cuntface
>>14689112
fairly sure the mc22 has the same size rim as my bike and i run a 125/60/17 pilot power 2ct on the front and a 160/60/17 pilot power 3 on the rear
>>14689126
Most modern street sport tires are only made in 160+ width for supersports
>>14689150
I don't think 160s are intended to fit on a 4.5 or narrower rim.
I live in a pretty good neighborhood. Niceish condo down the street from a restaurant where Lambos are a daily sight. Kind of a side street where there isn't a lot of through traffic.
How safe would it be to park a bike on the street on a permanent basis? I have really nowhere else to keep it. There's a spot behind the dumpster which is on the alley side of my building, but I don't think HOA would be thrilled about that. No garage.
I do have access to underground parking at my office, and it does have carded entry and cameras.
Where does /dbt/ park their bike?
Best way to remove rust from the inside of an R1 gas tank
>>14689164
>Most modern street sport tires are only made in 160+ width for supersports
That's not true at all.
>>14689171
only street park if you can make it very difficult to move or tamper with the bike.
i park mine on my back patio outside the bedroom window
>>14688958
that's impr... oh kph
>Brand new Hyosung gt650r for 5k
Why isn't this the most shilled bike on here?
>>14689181
Pilot Powers are NOT a modern design.
>>14689188
Pilot powers aren't slicks dipshit.
>>14689182
I'm on the second floor, and I don't really have any kind of yard or anything. No idea how they got a permit to build this place, it's like 95% paved.
I don't want to bother with buying a bike if it's just going to get stolen in a month.
>>14689187
Because it's trash.
>>14689185
says km/h on the bottom left corner
>>14689198
I said street tires.
>>14689206
fucking street rossi
>>14689176
buy a new tank
we need more cuckvlog shitting
theres several DOT legal choices for smaller bikes now. 150mm Dunlop Alpha 13 is good for the street. Supercorsa SC tires are available in 140-150-160
>>14689206
right because km/h is faster than kph....
>>14689212
Hi cycle cruza
>>14689213
Well I noticed very little rust in it and I don't wanna spend 200+ on a new tank
>>14689224
LETS GO FOR A RIDDDEEEEEE
*vroooooommmmmm*
>>14689224
you think this guy has ever wheelied or he gets enough thrills by accelerating to 75?
>>14689176
if its of real concern to you, buy a 5lb bag of steel bb's or shotgun shot, take the tank off and remove the pump and any other hardware, pour the shot into the tank and shake the shit out of it as long as you can to wear the rust off. now you can rinse it out and coat it or just use it as is and keep it full
Why do the Honda XR's have twin exhaust headers on a single cylinder?
>>14689258
KTMs have it too. I'm guessing better scavenging
>>14689258
i asked this once too and got a great answer. i forgot it.
>>14689258
because they have 2 exhaust valves and it helps keep them from over heating the head by separating them that much
>>14689242
I bet he only goes 65
>>14689252
Well it very little rust that I can see.. Is it gonna harm the engine any?
>>14689290
nah, the pump should have a filter on it to catch anything that gets loose in there. might plug up some time down the line but just keep the tank full to keep more rust from forming
>>14689283
Thanks anon.
>>14689292
Alright thank you anon I was worried about that.. How often should I replace the filter?

smoked a wet clutch eh?
>>14689150
They're 110 front and 140 or 150 rear iirc.

Not buying an R1 with rust in the tank in the first place.
Or buying a new rust-free tank.

gib ideas for April magazine theme
>>14689171
In my garage. Shitbikes can be left outside but i wouldnt leave anything to look at outside. My neighbor had his bike stolen from his driveway a couple months ago. They found it 50 miles away in the hands of some nogs
>watching shitty youtube reviews of bikes i'm fantasizing about
>for dirt bikes/dual sports they stand on the left peg with the kickstand down then swing their leg over
Why do people do this? Are all the vloggers manlets who can't get their leg over a 35+ inch seat? pic related, current fantasy.
>>14689478
probably, or they dont want to catch a toe and fall over on camera.
also the local dealer has one of those exc's pretty fun looking aside from the 2x4 seat
>>14689349
>smoked a wet clutch eh?
>>14689361
your dad sounds like a facktard, I hope your mom isn't as stupid for your sake
>>14689478
It just makes it easier to not have to swing your leg as high. Warning: do not do this with older KTMs because their kickstands were super breakable.
>>14689242
cycle cruza claims he can wheelie and "does it in car parks with the cameras" off.
it's all bullshit, much like hypermotard anons claims he could rub his chicken strips off in a car park by doing figure 8's, it doesn't happen.
>>14689537
who is cycle cruza though?
Some riding I did in Taiwan if you guys are interested, highly recommend.

>>14689545
probably the worst youtube channel of them all, basically a black friendless autist riding around spilling his retardation into a microphone.
If people following retards like chase on two wheels is incomprehensible, seeing people regularly watching his videos will make you feel like an alien on planet earth.
this is good news to me
>>14689561
does he buy a new gsxr every year?
i don't watch youtube bikers
>>14689561
he doesn't even have good memes, just those stupid crudely drawn faces.
>>14689561
hes white
>>14689561
He actually isn't black. I think CC gets more hate than he deserves, he's a great fucking meme and he means well for the biking community but he can be a tard sometimes. His van is tits too.
>>14689561
i dont really pay attention to youtube bikers but you realise those audiences are 12-15 year olds yeah?
>>14689574
no he test rides shit all the time and has terrible commentary
>>14689561
I subscribed to chase for a few months because when I was a no bike and lusting over R6's he did a top speed run that I saw and decided was awesome for some reason. I never watched any of his videos when they popped up, he seems to have gotten even more retarded since then. I really don't know how he interests anyone.
is the ninja 650r a supersport?
because it looks.... comfortable
Literally only the motovloggers I watch are Royal Jordanian and [spoiler]bakerXderek[/spoiler]
>>14689603
650, can tell by the rear shock.

>>14689584
he might be the biggest retard ever, top picture is someone he's making fun of from a video he made of "keyboard rossis" and "knee down bullshit"
bottom is him lol
If an retard who can't ride giving advice is all good by you then please jump into a volcano.
>>14689603
Not an inline 4 so I don't think it's considered a ss

I hate to say it but for motorcyclists on youtube the manchildren on supermotos are the most interesting. They actually do things that are interesting to watch.
>>14689603
Sorry I'm >>14689613 retarded and read that wrong, no it's not a supersport.

no, the ninja 636 is a supersport, 650 is a LAMs bike.

It's so beautiful.
>>14689614
are you saying this body position is bad or hes a hypocrite? cause i dont see a problem with the BP
>>14689551
thanks for blowing out my eardrums
>>14688872
>>14689630
what is LAMs bike?
636 still look pretty comfy
>>14689634
This. Talk about the bright red memepants.
>>14689471
street rossis
>>14689656
learner approved motorcycles. some countries have horsepower restrictions for new riders. ninja 650 is a popular one. it's a sport bike, not a super sport.
636 is a great bike but the riding position inst comfy after a while
>>14689621
he epotomizes the thing I hate seeing the most in riders and that's a defeatist attitude, can't do wheelies?
Pretend you can but then also say you don't want to do wheelies because of "fork seals" and blah blah blah.
Can't get your knee down or go around corners at any speed? Well obviously because he just doesn't want to and it's stupid to do so and blah blah blah blah.
I hate seeing people invent excuses instead of just improving and what he does is make up excuses then go and preach them on youtube talking about "keeping it real"
You keyboard rossis.
>>14689649
I'm saying he's a hypocrite.
>>14689670
Is actually a sport standard.
>>14688872
lol
>>14689670
oh, i don't live in one of those countries
636 looks not bad, i'm pretty small tho
is the difference between the 650 and 636 cylinders? or weight?
>>14689683
if you are a new rider i would recommend the 650 over the 636, its much more forgiving and comfortable on longer rides, if you are an experienced rider and want to get knees dragging on the touge get the 636
>>14689683
literally nothing about the bike other than the Ninja title is the same
>>14689698
i've had my license for years, i have 4 bikes but am new to sports bikes
>>14689683
It's everything.
They're completely different bikes in every respect. One is comfortable and bland and forgiving, the other a responsive and aggressive bike that just wants to go fast.
Apples and oranges.
>>14689682
>>14689655
>>14689709
should be fine transitioning to a 636 then mate, if you have another bike to do cruising on id go all out and get the bike you wont ever need to replace
>>14689708
>>14689710
ok i get it
they should give them different names
>>14689720
its to trick nobikes into buying the more forgiving bike for their first, they see 650 and think "it goes faster!"
>>14689720
I'm pretty sure they put them under the same name to boost sales of the shittier model to people who think they are getting a fast bike. It's a common strategy.
>>14689731
That and brand recognition.
To a lot of people all sportbikes are Ninjas and all cruisers are Harleys.
Telling someone "I bought a Ninja" evokes a much better image than "I bought an ER6F".
>>14689730
>>14689731
haha, maybe they would have gotten me
.. naw i'd have asked the right questions at some point
are people really that dumb?
nevermind i don't want to know
>>14689753
To be honest im not entirely sure, where i come from the 650 is a LAMs bike and they come with restrictors so they only make around 45hp so the only people you see riding them normally have P plates
>>14689767
where i live this can be your learner bike
Whats this guys?
>>14689787
oil gasket?
>>14689656
Doesn't look comfy at all
>>14689777
where i live this can be your learner bike so i guess there are ups and downs in both worlds.

>>14689811
>i'm not even american
>>14689804
sure it is, when you buy a new KTM they come with a full kit that includes the mirrors, lights and blinkers then bam street legal.
You just normally leave them off because the blinkers and mirrors break easy
>>14689827
oh really? that's pretty cool
i'd look into it but i'm a shortfag and ktm doesn't make anything worth buying in my size
>>14689827

>>14689863
>Manlets
Will they ever learn?
>>14689853
you are still a tard though, 12 year olds ride those bikes, you bum over seat and lean on 1 foot.
Not only that the freeride 350 is a good half a foot shorter than the 125 in that pic, not to mention the fact that you can also put a shorter rear shock on the bike to lower it even more, not only that the bike is a good foot lower to the ground when you are actually sitting on it. or do you think the suspension on a dirt bike is for show? that shit compresses until the wheel touches the rear fender.
>>14689874
Does anyone else get on their bike from the wrong side just to prove their dominance over the markets?
>>14689884
Yes
>>14689112

Comfy as fuck on my Tiger though
>>14689884
I used to do it on my yz-125, about 50% of the time I would catch my foot and stumble but the other 50% of the time I'd be drowning in the pink.

>>14689894
no excuses, get dirt bike. preferably a 2 strike girls like 2 strokes.
>>14689909
OnI*** hitting**
Goddamn phone
>>14689912
i have a 2 stroke
is nice
>>14689884
dont think the market really minds how i get on it, theyve already sold the bike. they might even prefer it because it could lead to damage and they sell more parts/labor
>>14689914
On**
Fuck this I'm done
>>14689894
Stop making manlet excuses anon.
>>14689909
>dem feels
>tfw cramped as fuck on my old FJ
>>14689603
CBR650 is better.
>>14689917
yes they vibrat.. i mean go faster.
>>14689912
>Ride 2 stroke to work one day
>Female coworkers complain I smell like exhaust fumes all day
they really don't like 2 strokes.
>>14689868
It basically costs the same as regular rego too. So it is shit. Just buy a ktm and get them to fit the lights and register it normally.
If the bike has a compliance plate. You cannot rec rego it either.
>>14689925
>tfw 6'4'' nordic god
>will never achieve comfy on supersport
bar risers look weird, but i'll make that sacrifice. the problem is the knee angle. it kills after a while. are there cheapo ways to let your legs stretch a bit on a supersport? without buying really expensive custom rearsets?
Has anyone ordered from motorcyclecloseouts before?
>>14689928
no they really do.
Your co workers are just civilised, 2 strokes vibrate at least twice as much as a 4 stroke and that makes girls smile.
>>14689927
motorcycles are the most premium vibrators on the market
people ask why i'm partial to big singles
>>14689943
You should be fine on a 1k with some aftermarket rearsets, a special made racing seat and some clipons
>>14689944
Yep, got my new offroadan helmet from there. Shipping took awhile otherwise a pain free experience.
>>14689943
No idea m8. I'm not really into supersports anyway. On my FJ I'd just straighten my leg every now and then
>>14689945
maybe they like the thought of them, but not in practice.
>>14689953
>>cheapo
>aftermarket rearsets, a special made racing seat and some clipons
sounds expensivo
>>14689958
>tfw they are probably faster than you
>>14689966
Then don't buy a sportbike...?
>>14689972
>>14689970
My cousin rode motocross, she kinda sucked but it was cool. I think a lot of girls do it for women empowerment tbqh.

>>14689925
Perhaps o just have to stretch more to get more flexible or some shit... Regardless once I ride for about 5 minutes the R1 feels great
>>14689991
>tfw no black and gold crossplane r1
>>14689998
>tfw no bike :(
>>14689998
>crossplane
i read a blurb and i still dont know what this
>>14690013
Lmao I just did the same anon
>>14690008
I don't know that feel anon
>>14689979
I keep telling you guys that girls ride dirt bikes because one day they do it for some reason then after a minute they realise the throttle makes their pussy tingle.
Same reason girls ride horses, you seen that motion they have in the saddle when trotting? thats why they trot around everywhere on horses and hate horses that canter.
>>14690013
It describes the type of crankshaft in the engine, which effects the firing order of the cylinders and the sound of the bike.
Cross plane crank engines sound lumpy or burbly (like an American V8, for instance) and flat plane crank engines sound smooth (think Ferrari V8).
FUCK!

Teach me
How to
Ride anon
what kind of shoes do you guys wear when riding? I'm currently wearing these black converse high tops but thinking about investing in a good pair of boots or riding shoes
>tfw size 15 vans
>tfw size 13 converse
I don't know what size boot or riding shoe to get
>>14690082
Full length leather boot or bust.
>>14690082
Twisties: 8 inch tall motorcycle boots that suit tuck into
Daily: ayy vans lmao
>>14690082
sidi cobras. thinking of getting pic related tho
Is this normal geometry?
I feel like leaning forward 22 degrees for a reasonable duration could get fatiguing.
>>14690102
I'd be straight chilling on that shit. I do 5 hours rides on my R6 with no problems
>>14690102
pretty comfy
>>14690082
been wearing various different work boots lately which hasnt been the smartest idea apparently
>>14690108
>>14690113
This pleases me.
I just hope I don't look like a clown riding something that has "Ninja" written on it.
Sorry for all the noob questions.
>>14690121
Pick your fucking feet off the ground, retard.
>>14690095
What kind of vans bro?? Before the converse I rocked the chukka low vans
>>14690129
they are steel capped work boots they are fucking long, you cant.
>>14690102
It's pretty comfy.
That being said you might want a taller windscreen to keep the wind off your chest/noggin.
>>14690127
you can peel it off
>>14690131
Just some classic black vans. They get this sweet bleaching pattern on the outside when you start racking up daytime miles.
>>14690133
You can't lift your feet off the ground? Tell me more...
>>14690148
But what if you go down and hurt your feet
>>14690148
Lift my inside foot off the peg while going around corners?.. tell me more about that.
you realise that only happens when your foot pegs are scraping right?
>>14690102
You have to get to the 600CC sports bikes, with really aggressive seating positions before it becomes a pain.
Sub-600cc Ninjas are practically designed to allow you to sit 'standard' if you really want to at speeds under 60mph.
>>14690154
What if the roof over your head collapses?
>>14690164
>taking your weight off the inside peg when cornering
Anon...
>>14690177

>>14690169
