Would I be stupid to put a deposit down on one of the new Triumph Thruxtons?
pic related, it's what I want but in a different color
>>14034931
Fuck off hipster cafe fag
>>14034937
Well meme'd sir
>>14034941
>Implying hipsters dont like triumphs
>>14034931
Do what makes you happy.
From what i am reading on reviews of them they are
"more rider-friendly than it looks; built for ageing enthusiasts rather than performance-hungry youths"
>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/motorcycle_manufacturers/triumph/10796129/Triumph-Thruxton-review.html
>>14034931
Friend of mine has a Thruxton with a big bore kit and absolutely loves it. Not what I'd buy, but go for it if you dig it.
>>14034888
Your CB400SF makes peak torque at 9500rpm. A VN250 makes peak torque at 4500rpm. The fact that it makes fuck all torque is kind of irrelevant when it's sitting fairly low in the rev range.
>>14034931
Hipster pls go.
>>14034931
Please tell me you get one in red/blue/white
>>14034931
Go back t /fa/, kuckboy.
>>14034954
I am kinda lost to be honest, i was just saying the eliminator was quite nice to ride power wise for a little 250 v twin and it was not struggling at all to do 100km/h, also that it was comfy as fuck to sit on, like riding down the road in a recliner. Seems like a solid bike for someone to learn on and build confidence.
>>14035011
Just saying since the torque is fairly low in the rev range it's a lot easier for it to pull in a high gear despite the fact it's not a powerful engine.
>Cleaned carbs
>New oil and filter
>New battery
>New tires
>Dies once at operating temp
Fuck. So it runs fine when starting up, no lean no rich, but sounds like it loses cylinders as I ride along. Then it doesn't want to start till it cools down. Regulator? Stator?
>>14035053
is it leaking oil anywhere around the cylinder heads?
sounds like a blown head gasket and it is losing compression when it gets hot if it is running fine when cold but losing cylinders after warming up.
Morning...
>>14034906
Thats a nice looking GS500
I am thinking of getting a 250x and converting it. My only concern is that it'd be lacking power. wat do?
riding a motorcycle on molly through rain at night in full gear: pretty decent.
>>14035011
You'll grow out of it quick if you're not a pussy.
I got the Vulcan S as my first bike. Only time I rode before was the Motorcycle safety course.
It's already feeling kind of under powered.
>>14035090
No leaks what so ever. Compression is still there.
>>14035130
just break your other hand, cash in the insurance dosh and buy the xt already
Post yfw the government forces you to buy a certain kind and make of tyres for your bike
>>14035142
It is my brothers bike, he has only ever ridden a little DRZ125 before that bike so he lacks a bit of confidence atm, why he went with a sub 400cc cruiser.
my cb400 scares him at the moment if that tells you anything so the 250 should last him quite a while, in any case when he is ready to upgrade i will probably end up selling him my bike for a good price seen as it puts a smile on his dial when he rides it.
>>14035198

yeah, apparently i can only put metzeler lasertec and mz2s on it or bridgestone battlax or bt45, which incidentally are the most expensive

I dont like cross helmets they have 0 protection from wind and elements and you can get fucked up in it.
>>14035246
no, unfortunately not
>>14035246
>still having pussy whiskers
Lean more.
>>14035253
Just putting the idea out there... you would snap your neck wearing a dirt bike helmet on the road, by rights you are supposed to be wearing one of these using those helmets to stop the whole broken neck thing from happening.
>>14035321
wut?
>>14035257
kek
Do these scratches look like they're from dropping the bike or crashing the bike?
>>14035338
that's fucking awesome! got a link for that?
>>14035231
>>14035326
>>14035130
>>14035337
actually the listing says it has a new front break lever as well, which implies it's been crashed
>http://www.bikesales.com.au/private/SSE-AD-3696024
>>14035340
you can find some article if you type Jiri Heinik KTM 1290 but didnt find much, a video would be nice
>>14035337
Scraping asphalt does that to your paint
>>14035363
yeah, that thing looks mental, 180kg, 180 hp, that would tear the dirt up pretty nicely
>>14035138
Converting it to what?
>>14035378
is that wr anton?
>>14035337
That looks like he came in a bit too hot
>>14035382
http://www.bikesales.com.au/private/SSE-AD-3696024
that's the listing.
It's fishy, it says he replaced the break lever but never rode because he couldn't afford the gear.
So either he bought it after it had been laid down, and fixed it up but never rode.
Or he's talking shit and laid it down but doesn't want to say.
>>14035382
nah i think he came in too fast
>>14035387
I say too furious.
>>14035386
>break lever
>read the ad
>it actually says break lever
I thought the clutch bullshit from Suzuki was bad enough, why would I want a bike with a lever that causes it to break?
>>14035207
>being afraid of a CB400
But they're slow.
>>14035387
Nah I can tell he came in too hot, having seen a few hots in my time.
>>14035391
just furious 11
>>14035395
Everything feels fast if you have no perspective.
>>14035393
So should I go check it out?
>>14035406
Depends if he's ever used the break lever.
Went for a ride today, such a nice day here in the western AU
>>14035378
a Supermoto
>>14035420
Is already a sumo though.
>>14035417
MotoGP needs to introduce a 50cc engine displacement and a 60cm wheelbase limit.
>>14035404
I guess, maybe I'm spoiled from stupid fast acceleration.
>>14035420
The wr 250x is a supermoto
>>14035416
You guys getting sweet riding weather all week too?
>mfw i read an article about enduros and this pops up
I'm new to /o/ so this is probably going to be a dumb question and I'm sorry if I come off as ignorant. I have an Maddog scooter. The motor sucks and I have trouble with it every summer. I'm thinking about stripping it down and maybe modding the frame so it could hold a small motorcycle motor. I know dick about motors. Would this be possible?
>>14035447
and this piece of shit too
>>14035450
>I know dick about motors
i think you just answered your own question
>>14035437
He must be thinking about the endurocross bike (wr250f) which is basically a yz250f with head lights and electric start.
>>14035458
So, no then? Just try to find a better motor?
>>14035463
>Just try to find a better motor?
how about letting people that actually know what they do do their work?
>>14035445
Some people gotta work through the week :(
>>14035450
Like constructing a heater from a can of gasoline, a rag and a desk fan it's possible but it's not a good idea and it's better to buy off the shelf (i.e. buy a fan heater for the aforementioned issue and buy a used scooter for yours).
>>14035380
what makes you even consider that?
>>14035483
the helmet
>>14035231
Do you live in nazi germany or something?
>>14035461
Why does it have a canister of explosives?
>>14035467
suns out till like 9pm though, plenty of time to go riding after work
>>14035490
pretty much, yeah
>>14035145
Even when at temp? You did use a compression tester to verify this?
>>14035492
In endurance racing a timed bomb is set under your bikes seat and if you do not complete the race in time it explodes. motivation to go fast.
>>14035504
I wish I could have that sound, but keep my 07 motor. I swear the crossplane felt slower. Sounds wicked though.
>>14035505
That's brutal.
>>14035253
I rock a full faced helmet and I ride a dual sport.
Plenty of poser who only ride a sumo/dual sport on road and they have a dirt helmet.
>>14035504
absolute madman
>>14035510
what's wrong with a dirt helmet?
>>14035507
what about the 015 model
>>14035466
I live in a small rinky dink town. There aren't scooter shops on each end of town. The place I bought it from only does minor things like adding lights or tune ups.
>>14035473
Thank you for giving me something I could go off of. I'm curious, why wouldn't a small motorcycle motor work though? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRsbRRV8lPo
I wouldn't want something that fast. I'm not looking to take it on the highway or anything. Mostly to putz through town and to keep up with traffic. Granted it would probably be easier to do this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCu3KO6TV2M
>>14035511
he sure is
>>14035509
i am sure you know already but it is actually pic related lol, nitrogen can go boom.
>>14035302
You need to remake that for this >>14030760
>>14035397
Too fast means you crash
Too hot means you can still recover
>>14035526
god damn the delusions some people have
>>14035302
sleep tight, the lord of all supersports
>>14035458
>>14035466
>>14035537
Ok, I get it. No motorcycle engine. Fuck, are you some purist or some shit?
>>14035386
Looks like my fairing when I lowsided (I had to lay it down to avoid an accident) at 15km/h.
Go check it out and just ask about it in person.
>>14035393
>I thought the clutch bullshit from Suzuki
Huh.
>>14035541
i mean, i'd love to see you blow a couple of hundred bucks on an engine and then not be able to install it and make it work, but i think some people have to be protected from their tretardation
>>14035527
Kek
So this is what happens when you give an MX rider a road bike.
>>14035486
because he's the only one that bought it?
>>14035536
But what if he recovered from going too fast?
>>14035560
he actually no joke is
>>14035454
looks like a cheap copy of the TW125
>>14035516
If all you do is ride onroad. You are just a poser. May aswell buy a harley if you ride for the image.
>>14035565
yeah, but even shittier
>>14035562
That never happens when you come in too fast, only when you come in too hot.
>>14035553
Having to pull the clutch in to start.
>>14035556
You own a shop don't you? That's why you're ass blasted at someone trying to do something on their own or even someone showing some sort of interest in learning.
>>14035574
Prove it.
>what is trail braking with the rear brake to bring the front back in line
>>14035541
>>14035556
To elaborate. The technical challenges (for you) that are making it difficult to keep a shitty chinese motor running are insignificant compared to the technical challenges you'll face doing an motor swap.
>>14035530
I knew that shocks are under pressure but I thought that symbol was reserved for chemical explosives.
>>14035590
Thats too hot.
Too fast always results in a crash.
>>14035581
I don't mind it. I have seen someone drop their bike die to starting it in gear and having the clutch out.
It is a sensible saftey feature
>>14035591
>(for you)
>>14035584
i'm not assblasted, i just think it's ridiculous when people try to do things well out of their technical grasp
>>14035594
It is honestly the first time i have ever seen it on a bikes shocker, it is probably just there for shits and giggles to be honest. i don't think exploding shocks is a thing that actually happens, surely that would be a meme if it was.
>>14035618
They really only explode when on fire.
>>14035591
>>14035613
Summer is still a little ways away which gives me time to save up. I could do some research and find a reputable shop that deals with scooters. I'm not looking forward to the drive. It's probably going to be at least an hour and a half.
>>14035519
Haven't ridden one. Can't afford one. Would love one eventually though, althoguh I don't think they sound as good as the 09-14. Sounds a lot tidier.
My 07 is pretty mental about 5,000rpm though. The crossplane I rode (09) was definitely SLIGHTLY better under 5, but past that the screamer was a different beast.
Could also be the weight difference I guess.
>>14035604
If it's too hot why was I going too fast?
>mfw there are people in dbt RIGHT NOW that don't run natural gas in their bikes
>>14035637
why would you spend that much money on such a piece of shit? you could easily get a big boy bike for the money you'd spend on that glorified scooter
>>14035649
>implying my farts don't add a couple extra horsepower
>>14035564
then he has to be it
>>14035650
Scooters don't require insurance, plates, or even a helmet. I'm not looking to commute back and forth to work. I have a scooter so I can putz around town. I'd like something that I could take on the back roads into the next town (15 minutes away) and not have to worry about going 25-30 in a 45.
>>14035669
>Scooters don't require insurance, plates, or even a helmet
maybe in your third world shit hole country
>>14035669
>Scooters don't require insurance, plates, or even a helmet.
What. Here they even require a license.
>>14035669
The road toll in your country must be really high.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTyu5-6ravA
>>14035646
You didnt crash, so you weren't going too fast.
It's only too fast when it results in a crash.

>>14035694
Missouri
>nb4 hur dur, Mo = third world shit hole country.
Anything under 50cc doesn't require anything. Just a valid drivers license. Anything over 50cc is considered a motorcycle and then you'd have to get it registered, have plates, get a motorcycle license, wear a helmet, ect. ect. No one is going to pay attention to the motor, just how fast I'm going.
>>14035703
>america
so a sit hole third world country, got it
>>14035703
But a scooter is 50cc or more
>>14035710
49cc
>>14035709
>good thing I nb4'd
>>14035703
If you put a bigger engine in it you will need insurance and helmet and all that
> hurr hurr people will think it's only a scooter
Have fun with your insurance fraud and getting shot
>>14035716
you implied your state wasn't, when in fact your whole country is shit
>>14035703
you need a motorbike license to ride 50cc bikes in my state, too many kids were getting run over by cars or some bullshit along those lines.
>>14035720
Couldn't care less
>>14035719
I really doubt I'll get pulled over, have it impounded just so they could conduct a speed test. I have a metal tag on the inside of where the wire is housed that gives the vin, model and CC (49). That's all they check.
>>14035720
just like yours ausfag/europoor
>>14035736
>Couldn't care less
then why did you answer?
>>14035740
yeah nah
>>14035696
If I wasn't going too fast why did I have to stop myself running wide, assuming I was reading the correct line though the corner?
>tfw can ride anything up to 110cc on the footpath on my license
It's pretty hilarious in traffic. If I'm on my small bike can just hop the curb and ride down.
>>14035742
Cause 'Murica.
>>14035732
>along those lines
Just like the kids after they were ran over.
>>14035744
Maybe you let off the throttle near the apex instead of accelerating?
thatell do it too.
>>14035752
damned kids, always getting in the way of people in a hurry.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWwbAgmE3N4
>>14035732
Doing 30mph on an A road is a sure way to get hurt
especially for the inexperienced
>>14035768
She's going to pound me in the ass prison.
>>14035771
Yeah so we better stop the kids riding little bikes and getting experience before they get their licence because "thats too fast for kids to be going"
but if they want to do 70-100km/h on a mountain bike legally that is no worries mate.
seriously it made no sense to ban one thing but not the other lol, you can still put engines on a push bike.
>>14035736
They will look on the engine for the casting mark. It will have 49cc cast into the engine.
Idiots try to do that shit all.the time here and the cops always look for the cast engine displacement
>>14035744
Did you crash? No.
So you were too hot.
Is it too much for your simple mind?
>>14035786
Haven't had that happen. When I first got it, I rode it at night (I work late night) and had a cop pull up next to me in a small shopping area. He asked me where I got it, what the cc was, if I put the lights under the frame myself or had the place where I bought it put them on and said it looked neat. He liked the big tire on the back.
I just realized I'm gonna turn 25.
Fuck I wasted my life.
>>14035833
You're only 25, you still have 55 years to go.

Hey, serious question.
I'm moving out for uni next year and I could have a bike for moving in the city and sometimes in the freeway.
Is it dangerous to ride a bike in the city?
I'm not worried about my riding skills or anything like that, but I'm a bit worried about cars hitting me.
>>14036026
>but I'm a bit worried about cars hitting me
Don't you hate when you're set on doing something and then you waste time doing something else and at the end you realize it's too late to do what you wanted to in the beginning?
>>14036035
It's never too late
>>14036026
>I'm a bit worried about cars hitting me.
then get a car. take the risk or don't ride
>>14036026
Riding is inherently unsafe, its just a fact of life.
Wear a good helmet and armor and deal with it, or don't ride.
>>14035969
>>14036012
There are multi bike policies but it's unlikely your existing policy supports this. It might be worth talking to your insurer to see if they can cut you a deal.
>>14036026
Riding everywhere is dangerous.
In the city at least other road users aren't going fast.
>>14036048
>It's never too late
Nah in this case it is.
>>14036071

>>14036089
No I can't, the places closese today.

>>14036059
most fatal accidents occur at speeds of like 27 mph if I remember correctly. My MSF instructor told us that 2 people have died during his class because their helmets weren't secured properly and they fell the wrong way and just died. We never went faster than 25 during the course. If anything, it's more dangerous to ride slow than it is to ride fast.
>>14036095
Ride like a madmen and steal all their salami
>>14036095
i'm sorry for your loss
Took a ride in -2C with normal gloves and halfway through it felt like my nails were peeling off my fingers.
Feelsbadman.
>>14036100
Every speed can kill you, but if other people aren't going fast they have more time to avoid you and you to avoid them.
>>14036105
It's like 20€ for 5-6kg
>>14036107
Know that feel. Did a seven hour shift on a work bike during a thunderstorm. Was a bit warmer but the rain was cold and the gloves we have to wear are basically fingerless cloth.
My hands were fucking freezing.
>>14036100
Riding faster isn't making anything safer, its just the proximity to stop and go traffic that increases your odds of being in a collision.
>>14036100
>2 people have died because their helmets weren't secured properly and they fell the wrong way and just died
What a way to end your motorcycle journey kek
>>14036122
yeah you have a point
still, I personally feel safer zipping along at 40-60mph than I do going 20-30mph in traffic
Fuck guys, i might sell my cage...
But if i sell it i will need to buy a new one...
I would love to buy another bike but fuck...
>>14036123
Couple years ago some guy I was acquainted with died up in Alberta on a bike. It was a shitshow trying to figure out what happened because two bike riders died the same night. One guy was speeding up a blind hill and flew into the back of a stopped trunk, and we all thought this was our guy.
Turns out it wasn't. My acquaintance was dicking around in a parking lot, he fall off his bike and hit his head on a curb. Died in front of a bunch of people who didn't think anything was wrong with him and he was just joking around. Fatal accident at 0mph.
>>14036154
get a cheap pickup truck for the winter and transporting your bikes when needed
Never use it except when absolutely necessary
>>14036157
It's fucked isn't it. I got hit at about 40-45mph and went head first into a curb. My Arai took the brunt of it, but I had a brain hemorrhage and almost died.
>>14036162
Im not from murica...
And i dont like pickup trucks.
I was thinking Fiat Seicento, Lancia Ypsilon something small and nimble so i can focus on my bike more.

I had a nice accident where a car pulled out without looking right in front of me, causing me to flip over the hood and land on my back in the street in front. The back protector for my jacket had arrived the previous night and I'd only remembered to fit it that morning. I walked away with nothing more than a bruised ass.
>>14036228
This but go for the other Honda if you can't find one.
>>14036235
Some guy pulled out in front of me one time, so I hopped the curb to avoid him and rode across his lawn and tore it the fuck up with my knobbies
I never knew instant karma felt so good sometimes
>>14036228
>V4
Please, we both know why I'm asking
>>14036250
Not him but what? VFR400s are awesome. Jacked up cousin of the MC22.
>>14036240
Yeah a cbr 250 is not a bad bike at all either, they are a good 50kg lighter than a new cbr400r and just as powerful.
>>14036254
No doubt, but probably not ideal for a first-timer.
>>14036250
The vfr400r NC30 is literally the best 400cc bike ever built by any bike company what are you playing at?
>>14036277
No way, they're linear, lightweight and predictable. I learnt on an MC22, it was a fantastic bike. They look a lot faster than they actually are.
>>14036277
They would not be that much different to riding a CB-1 or cb400sf power wise only easier to throw around in corners due to the lighter weight and i see no person saying the either of those bikes would be too much for a learner.
>>14036244
Nice, I'd probably have bounced off the curb and face (helmet?) planted into his door.
The end is getting closer, we're moving and we can't stop on our way to the end of our journey.
Soon it will be time to separate, to go different ways. I will never forget you.
>>14036279
my mum had one of those, in black and grey. its alright abit fat tho, really feels like your mounting a whale. my vote would be for the FZR400 felt alot more nimble but i had one so im abit biased
>>14036317
that would have shown him
>>14035445
On the up side, its not gale force winds like the past month.
>>14036320
>>14036279
I really like that.
>>14036346
Who else did something on their bike today?
>>14036367
I put a tank bag on mine and filled it with things, and also took off the seat strap that was causing my nuts much discomfort
>>14036367
Nothing because parts still didn't arrive
>they said it could take until the 19th
FUCK
>>14036372
Very nice. Nut comfort makes you're ride about three hundred times better
What did you fill your thing with?
>>14036374
Sheeeit man. Stay strong.
>>14036329
I'm going to have to go with the other guy here sorry. FZR400 are cool, but those VFR400 and RVF400 are something else. They're tiny bikes.

are these courses worth it dbt?
>>14036387
I put some tools, a small tin of oil, a fist aid kit, spare gloves, and a disc lock (that doesn't actually fit my bike lel) in there. Probs gonna throw a few spark plugs in once I grab em at the store
>>14036408
Well prepared for everything, but wouldn't the spark plugs may get ducked up if they get vibrated a lot?
>>14036403
>Advanced rider
>Picture of what is probably the easiest bike to ride fast ever made
>>14036416
Yeah, I was thinking of stuffing them into a pouch filled with fluff or something to kind of hold them in place
>>14036416
>but wouldn't the spark plugs may get ducked up if they get vibrated a lot?
Spark plugs are designed to be screwed into a machine that makes vibrations from exploding fire, a bit of jiggling about in a tank bag won't harm them unless the electrode is bashed.
>>14036367
Noting, waiting for my helmet to arrive.
>>14036423
That's what I meant. If they just loosely fly around in there it could easily happen I guess.
>>14036443
Rubber band and a paper towel should be enough.
>>14036403
Seems like a waste of money unless the things they are teaching are things you do not know how to do.
Thinking about putting together a playlist for riding
I think I'll just put this on repeat:

>>14035298
yeah, right...

Have sumo'ed for 5 years and have Xlite 601 and am loving it. I have a 2-piece leather suit also. Perfectly good esthetics.
I still kinda have a hardon for the Icon / Arai supermoto/fullface - hybrid looking helmets.
Long time lurker here,so today i finally got to see my (probably) first bike;after trying a couple of 600(ninja and cbr)i decided they are a bit too much for a zero exp rider;anyway,it's a cbr250 from 2011,with 11600km(around 600 on track),the seller seems pretty honest and his father is an actually very exp rider(+30 years),they are selling it for 1800 eurodollars,wich is under the current used price,because the guy dropped it on the track a year ago,scrapped at low speed during a turn,the main frame is stable btw,no strange leaning to left or right while at 50kmh,all other things are looking good,,new oil and brake fluid,tires changed in august(2000km ago,pirelli diablo corsa 2),chain and pinon well oiled,no other significant damage other than the scrapes on the fairing.
For me i dont care about the scrapes,since its a learner bike and i'm using it for a year or 2 to get the exp to get on a 600,but an opinion from someone else is always good.
Pic somewhat releated,what i want after this bike.

Soon she'll be away tho.

Fuck
>>14036501
Totally forgot,arrow exaust,bitubo forks and original tires are included in the price.
>>14036501
>cbr250
sounds reasonable.
People always shit themselves when they hear a bike has been crashed.
I don't think a lowside at a smooth track even could cause much damages unless the bike flips over or whatnot.
Go for it , the 250 is probably a great learner baiku.

Why would you want to wear a dirt bike helmet on the road in the first place?
The only reason they have an extended mouth guard is because on dirt that digs into the ground and if you were to be wearing an open face helmet you would probably break your jaw, on the road the chin guard is going to snag the ground and snap your god damned neck, especially considering you sumo faggots do not wear a neck brace while wearing one.
