1st for ktm a best
daily reminder that honda a shit
What's the best DOHC water cooled four cylinder for my fifteen year old nephew? He's never ridden a motorcycle before.
git hype motoped anon updates soon
maybe
>>15225862
a dick in the arse because he sounds like a poof
>>15225862
>haha i said a fast motorcycle
>>15225863
he motoded anon now?
>>15225856
>Daily reminder
Why not hourly?
>>15225871
kit kat doesnt know how clocks work
>>15225856
hi rEd---DiT !!
>>15225877
is reddit really that cringey that it should be a considerable insult?
never really been there but i thought it was a site where you link other sites that actually have interesting content
>>15225880
The site's whole content/comment system is built around burying dissent
>>15225880
the moto subs are. but they looove honda so i dont see how it applies in this situation.
>>15225884
so its like the mods on /o/ but they actually get to make the rules then?
>>15225894
imagine unpopular opinions would be shadowbanned while popular opinions got good boy points
imagine trying to have a discussion where everybody wants to be close to the mainstream as possible
>>15225894
The mods here don't delete every dissenting opinion, but reddit is set up specifically so that it self regulates and does exactly that. It's been demonstrated in the past that a reddit Admin can shape a discussion scarily well and given the gullible nature of the userbase anyway (sexless 15-25 male) it's a recipe for disaster.
>>15225903
not true at all, i have been banned multiple times for my opinion that mods on 4chan are giant faggots who fear the female nipple but thoroughly enjoy the man boobie.
>>15225910
The mods clearly don't delete every dissenting opinion m8
>>15225910
>i have been banned multiple times
Same
>>15225914
they can but they normally get hit with the naughty stick if they delete too much stuff that gets their panties in a twist, idk why someone would even be a mod its not like they pay you, at least you get paid in gold for everyone you ban for being mod on world of tanks so you can pay to win by banning people who annoy you
>an ancient evil has awakened
>>15225943
How bent are those forks
>>15225948
>awakened
that sounds like shit
>>15225954
Yeah most Harleys are.

the carb gods are not smiling at me dbt and there is a big group ride this weekend
how do I please them?
I'm trying to get the pilot jets out but they won't budge

>>15225984
Yeah I wouldn't recommend them for street use. But they've won best motocrosser 7 years in a row :^)
oh shit whaddup
do meme wheels actually make a difference or are sumofags delusional
>>15226014
r1m duh
>>15226017
are you actually unsure if wheel size and tires can alter a bike? if so, you're stupid.
>>15226014
o hej kako je
>>15225999
if i was riding mx id get a ktm over a honda any day of the week
>>15226014
>no harley
>>15226019
nice non answer
>he doesn't know
>>15226023
it's like honda does not even try anymore
>>15226023
>I don't ride mx
And that's why no one gives a shit as to what you think.
>>15226034
yes it makes a difference you spanner, wider and smaller rims means you can have wider and taller tyres meaning your bike is capable of greater lean angles.
a bike with a 120/60-17 front and 160/60-17 rear is going to corner much better than one that has a 80/100/21 front and 120/100/18 rear could ever corner.
>>15226038
true i ride enduro, i do the odd open day but i can't get into racing, them whips are scury so i couldnt win so why bother
>>15226014
Not a huge fan of sports but i cant say no to a hayabusa
>>15226014
either the 1298 or the ktm, i have a thing for v twin superbikes that break down a lot.
>>15226058
they're so ugly imo. It's like if you got a normal sport bike and inflated it
>>15226064
looks like a turd
>>15226035
What am I supposed to be seeing here? Has Honda gone mediocre in the past few years? Yes. But the 450R and 250R are still solid machines for MX and the awards and popularity shows that. I'm no fan boy and I have 0 brand loyalty but you're going to have a hard time finding anything major wrong with the R series. We don't talk about the L's though.
>>15226058
Country?
>>15226064
that would be because they are designed for people over 6ft tall
>>15226069
New Zealand
>>15226064
The curves grew on me
>>15226070
I'm 6'3" and have ridden multiple bikes on that image, none of which felt cramped at all. Currently I'm on an er6-n which is smaller than most of the bikes on that image and it's not uncomfortable in the slightest.
Motorcycles don't need to be bulbous and fat to fit people over 6 feet tall.
>>15226081
lol manlet
>>15226073
I had a feeling you weren't from the US. I can't bring myself to like the Busa because it's been a meme for a long time for colords to gravitate towards the Busa. Pretty much everyone I know that has one does pic related to them and anyone who doesn't have one makes fun of them for that reason. They're like the Donks of the bike world. I guess it's not viewed like that outside the US.
>>15226069
id still have a ktm over a crf, if not a ktm id have a yz450, fuck they have a mean engine in them.
>>15226090
Yeah where I'm from (Australia) they're pretty rare. The only person I know who owns one is a motorcycle training instructor who competes in drag racing and land speed trials, both of which the busa is good for
>>15226081
>>15226108
where in Australia are you?
see busas all the time in Victoria, i have seen 3 that with turbos that did not have extended swing arms.
>>15226110
looks more suited to his bike than 99% of the peeps on dbt
>>15226090
In Straya they are mostly ridden by older white guys for dat comfy
>>15226113
thats because most of the people on dbt are 12-16 year olds posting pictures of their dads bikes
>>15226115
i've never ridden one, is it cruiser comfy or comfy for a sports bike kind of deal?
>>15226133
gel seats and wind protection brotha
it's like a cruiser than can go 300km/h
Everyone post your dad's bike
>>15226133
id say comfy for a sport bike kind deal which makes no sense because strayans can buy cb1300's
>>15226136
>>15226138
>no comfy seat
>no wind protection
>its a honda
>>15226141
seat looks pretty comfy to me, can put a wind screen on it, its a design that has been reworked for the past 30 years it is mechanical perfection at this point as far as reliability is concerned, or at least id fucking expect it to be.
>>15226136

I'd rather have a Beta 450 2bh, but the Honda is excellent for what they do.

>>15226845
if mad and you pull a wheelie, they're still mad. no harm done.
otherwise, they get to see something hektik.
always wheelie
If a cop told you to do a wheelie, would you?

Everyone and their grandma wants to see me wheelie when I ride my gsxr 1000 anywhere.
But I've never tried to wheelie. R/o/ast me?
How should I learn? Don't want to fucc my baby up learning a dumb trick. I'm more than proficient in riding, cornering, braking. But I could never even wheelie on bicycles.
Who ever asked if I live in Florida in an old thread, I do.
>>15227185
same here, tried some on the XT350, but I'm afraid to break the fairings on the CB again
>>15227171
Hold on a second
>10k Euros
You're in Europe and your bank doesn't consider a motorcycle to be a vehicle?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle
It quite clearly is a vehicle.
>A vehicle is a mobile machine that transports people or cargo.
A bike is a mobile machine (ICE powering a wheeled frame) which transports passengers or cargo (Yourself, pillion + luggage)
Also from further down, under 'Legislation'
>Motor vehicle and trailer categories are defined according to the following international classification
>Category M: Passenger vehicles
A motorbike is a passenger vehicle.
Is they still argue, you want EU Directive 2002/24/EC by the looks of it. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32002L0024&from=EN
>>15227216
I'm not that guy, I already have a bike
maybe you helped him though
>>15227134
go to another bank thats not retarded

do you at least have a license, fukken nobike?

>loan for motorcycle
>went to class-dinner-thing
>female friend owns half a Hill
>>15227185
start it slow.
Setup:
>long straight road
>cover the rear brake at all times
Training
>first gear
>20mph
>clutch in
>rev it up +1000 rpm
>clutch out
>get a feel for it
>repeat with +1500rpm, +2000rpm, +2500rpm and find that sweet spot
if you do this and keep the bike/handlebars straight it's impossible to flip it or crash. Also your bike will go up inches at first and you will get a feeling for riding with one wheel.
If you're not comfy at all with it just odn't do it and don't ruin your bike.

>cover the rear brake
More than just that. Exercise it. Make a habit of pressing it when you want to come down. Because for most people, their first instinct when they start to loop over is to just push the bike away instead of pressing the brake. You have to get it through your mind to just use the brake any time you want to lower yourself to break that habit.

Als was?
>>15227353
it was probably me that time as well. People always leave out that part and just say to cover it. But when your foot is on the peg it is going to "cover" the brake pedal so I don't know what they think they're accomplishing if they don't actually use it
>>15227354
Gigolo
>>15227302
Unfortunately not, I'm at work and checked with the building manager and they don't have shit. Filed a police report and an insurance claim. Of course the deductible for my bike is more than the cost of the brake line so looks like I'm paying out of pocket. :(
