ayy lmao!
gonna put a christmas hat on my helmet today I guess, just because I can. Kind of like this.
>>14098728
I did it before it was cool
what does /dbt/ think of the new cbr650f?
It is competition for bikes like the Ninja 650.
>>14098735
I don't like the headlight.
>>14098733
I already did it last year 2bh
fuckin TW 125 anon
>>14098735
I like the headlight.
>>14098741
I started doing it 3 years ago.
>>14098735
Pretty nice, I'd have it over a Ninja 650. Super comfy and a a good weight. My only (mild) complaint is the catfish tail is a little bit ugly, but it looks way better in person.
It's also more powerful than the Ninja, and sounds nicer.

Anyway, sitrep:
My sister is dating a Norwegian methhead NEET closer to my dad's age than her
Mom is having a breakdown because sis spent the last three days in poland partying and taking drugs
My dad is scrambling for money to pay off his focus
I'm shitposting on 4chan instead of studying maths for matura
I had to bumpstart the kia because I left the lights on
I'm still a kissless virgin
Tfw no gf
>>14098743

where did it all go so wrong?
>>14098740
Looks better than the competition imo
>>14098747

The CB650F is pretty much the Hornet.

Not my fault. Back when that happened I was completely ignorant about cars and it was my dad who bought it. But yeah it's terrible. Stiff suspension, no feedback from the steering wheel and the alternator keeps dying randomly. But it works for my mom's daily 5 mile commute and shopping

>>14098795
Oh if he is talking about the big boy hornet, yeah but it is going to be a 900.
>>14098783
not sold in eu
>>14098801
Not available in Europe, less powerful and somehow heavier than the Hornet
>>14098801
superfour is sex, wish they'd be available in yurop
>>14098809
Wait does europe call the cb400sf a honda hornet? (pic related)
If yes thats a 2011 model lol, it is more powerful and weighs less.
Where i come from the hornet is a 600 with a mono shock.
>>14098819
Only Honda i have ever known as a hornet
>>14098786

I'm gonna sink your ship so fast, one blast, don't ask, your ass is grass.
>>14098819
here is a 2015 cb400sf btw
Is it worth it for a 2006 636 for $400?
problems, chain very rusty, front and rear tire needs to be replaced, wire harness could use an update, needs new battery, kick stand with starter switch needs to be replaced, throttle screws rusty. idk about engine since thsee other parts need to be checked.
>>14098821
And the cb650f replaced the Hornet
>>14098819
>CB400SF
Your picture is a 600cc Hornet or CB600F
CB400SF is not sold in europe. And a CB400 (2 cylinder) is called a CB400.
>>14098836
Is it running? Are the forks in good shape?
>>14098836
Dude
normally
usually
you buy a running bike
and use a 400$ bike for parts
not
you buy a 400$ bike
and then proceed to buy a running bike to make the parts bike running
>>14098819
When the fuck have I implied that the cb400sf is called a Hornet in Europe.
I literally said "not available in Europe, and heavier than the Hornet"
>>14098841
Forks look good, the gasket seems fine, can't check if it starts since the guy kept telling me that the gas tank is rusty, plus he said that he just replaced the battery, so I asked if he checked the fuel pump.
>>14098840
Nope that is an earlier model cb400 lol

>>14099009
A month.
I am waiting my wage so i can respray the body and the wheels. And that is the biggest part. When i do that bike will be done in a day.

And this is 3rd gen nog edition. If I could go back in time I would have left it all stock, got the enduro kit, and buy the sumo wheels.
>>14099025
I hope so... Baiku needs to shine for SEM2...
I just hope i wont crash it... Because if i do i will cry like a bitch..
I have refurbished the chain and cleaned the sprockets i just hope they will last up for SEM2... The bike is so quiet now when i am pushing it... And i need to shave off unnecessary weight.
>>14099031
I think I bought it around Aug 2014. It got stolen Jun 2015 and I got it back late Oct.
>>14099028
didnt ducati make a no compromise bike not long ago?
They even had a new type of tyre invented for the bikes that work well on any road surface.

>>14099043
oh it was stolen, that sucks i was going to ask how many hours you have managed to get out of the piston and rings on the road
>>14098959
On a serious note though, it'll have to be one of the 650 "adv" bikes from Jap manufacturers.
V-strom, Versys, NC-X, or tenere, or actually a TDM
The V-strom seems like the best compromise and many riders agree as shown by the amount of the darn things on the road.
It's got a reasonably powerful engine, a 19 inch front wheel for offroading, and a ton of aftermarket support for touring. The reported mileage is pretty average though, 4.7 or so l/100km
The versys is a significantly more sporty candidate. It has an inline twin instead of a V, but a 17 inch front wheel and a riding position closer to the handlebars mean that the versys is actually quite fun to throw around corners and is probably the best track machine of the bunch, which isn't saying much but still, it's a compromise.
The reported mileage is even higher, hovering around 5l/100km but in direct comparison it uses a little less fuel which seems to imply that versys riders just have a heavier throttle hand.
In this very thread I've called the NC700X weaponized boredom.
It has like 53 horsepower and is bottom heavy which helps it carry it's weight at lower speeds, but when going fast it does mean it won't lean over quite as easily as the other bikes.
However Sean macdonald has taken it to the track and had fun while Wes Siler took it offroad and said that it actually works pretty well there, as long as you have a pair of TKC continentals.
It's an economy touring bike.
Very well thought out and practical (but it's a Honda, it's to be expected) but not something that will make you spontaneously cum when riding. Doesn't actually need fuel to run. 3.7 l/100km. Simple engine, screw and locknut valves, similar to the Honda fit engine
Cont.d
>>14099100
The tenere is the only thumper I'm considering. It's the least powerful but torquey. I have to admit the only reason I'm taking about it is because it fits my personal criteria. If you're not going to the track and can handle a bit of a buzzy engine, the tenere is built like a tank, but the engine is controversial. It's apparently indestructible, but I have seen one disassembled after 50 000 km and the valves didn't close properly, meaning anything up to a $1000 top end rebuild.
It's still not lightweight and is in no way an Extreme Enduro. In fact, a DR650 may make a much better offroader than a tenere because it's lighter, but needs stiffer suspension
Some anon here (worst Yamaha anon?) got the 660 engine to use 3.5l/100km.
Finally there's the Yamaha TDM. The original "adv" bike, created years before obi wan kenobi took the long way round, it's by far the most powerful, and the only bike in this comparison that actually makes my dick hard. I have no idea about it's track performance but I know it does everything else pretty well. Fuel economy comparable to the versys but with more power, and again, heard of people getting it down to 3.5 l/100km. There's a bit of a cult surrounding the TDM, with people making up myths to make it seem like literal godsend of a bike but I can't honestly verify them. All I know is, I've ridden with someone who has it and I want it
Cont.d
>>14098801
Nice meme bike, fgt.
>>14098943
Whos the moonball behind you
Bonus: I'm actually serous about the cbr250r, but maybe in the Cb300f trim. I've gotten it to use below 3l/100km, and it'd even work well as an economical tourer with saddlebags and a windshield. However It's not for me. I'm 6'1" and that means my back and knees really hate the bike. It's offroad prowess was confirmed repeatedly by me myself, and it's got the best suspension of all the small displacement bikes on the market today. It's a simple shim-valve thumper to work on and will chug along at 70 mph no problem.
Make sure to get one from Thailand though because those made by designated shitting streets are known to explode after 70 000 km

Note: I haven't actually ridden most of those bikes and my experience is mainly from reading the experiences of people being paid to ride, and also some bullshitting. I have thoroughly ridden the NC, CBR, and have experienced the TDM, and tenere (in the XT660R form), so these 6000 or so characters are only worth as much as the opinion of a poorfag polack with less than a year of riding experience.
>>14099129
My sister
>>14099142
I'd tone it down to the TDM or the V-Strom. Offroad capability and twin engine for long-distance touring is like the best compromise.
NC/Versys are ruled out by offroading and the CBR250 additionally because of lack of power, being a thumper and comfyness.
>>14099184
A TDM can't really go offroad though...
>>14099189
then we have a winner :^)
>>14099191
But...
>>14099160
She's a huge bitch. How often does whe physically abuse your weak ass.
>>14099193
the problem with that is
you can find offroad pictures/videos of any bike
So I just go by if the manufacturer says about his bike
>The TDM was arguably the first road-oriented "Adventure Sports" motorcycle. It was not intended as an off-road machine
>>14099191
>>14099193
We both have to admit that we have no idea what either of us is talking about and that we can agree that if you're gonna do any serious adventuring there's no other option than a carbed 600cc dual sport from the 90s
>>14099204
I suppose you're right, but a manufacturer can write literally anything to sell the bike to dreamy boomers
>the super tenere is the best adventure touring motorcycle in the segment
No it isn't.
Imo tires matter at least as much as the specific choice of a motorcycle
>>14098801

xr400r
reliability like a tractor engine
goes wherever you want, bretty comfy stock seat
50-70mpg, massive aftermarket,moderate performance, great price point for non converted bikes and conversion adds permanent 500-1000 value
>>14099250
Yeah I just did some quick googling. The bike is a beast but it's unobtanium.
What's your top liter bike?
>>14099258
>>14099258
Right now? Probably a split between the BMW S1000RR, Yamaha R1M and the Ducati 1299.
Also worth considering bikes like the Lightning LS-218 and whatever Vyrus is selling these days.
I'd take the Yamaha personally, but it's down to preference. I ride an older R1 now though, so I'm biased.
>>14099266

what are comparable bikes to the xr400r?
drz400?
>>14099253
>shitty on highway
>long distance touring shit, especially with that power and a lot of luggage
cool bike but definitely not the bike if you look for an allrounder. Goes for pretty much any dualsport except <650cc
>>14099270
It's lagging behind the others honestly albeit not as bad as the CBR. Had a reputation for abysmal fuel economy too, I've heard sub-20mpg from a few people who owned them. Looks great and sounds wicked though.
>>14099272
drz is fairly close but still a pig compared to the XR.
>>14099276
then stay off the highways, whats the point of getting a good offroad bike if you just want to slab it everywhere?
>>14099272
IIRC the drz should weight like the xr650r which is 10kg heavier than the 400
>>14099287
>whats the point of getting a good offroad
none because we aren't looking for a good offroad bike, we are looking for an good all-around bike.
>>14099292
offroadability was one of the points mentioned, wally
if your bike is good for highway use, its 99% of the time going to be a bastard offroad since itll be heavy and hard to deal with, unless your idea of offroad is gravel roads.
myh xr is an all around bike, may even take it on the TAT some day.
but the closest compromise will likely be the dr650, xr650l or ktm 690/640
>>14099286
I thought it was the bike the R1M had to beat last year
>>14099307
Nah R1M had to beat the S1000RR.
>>14099202
it actually my dad
>>14099288
>>14099287
that's why I asked, I want a bike like that but the drz is too heavy compared to the xr
the dr350 is a bit lighter but also weaker

>>14099714
i went for a ride in the heat wave too and i nearly died of fucking heat stroke to be honest.
Like riding through an oven.
>>14099770
> also had to wait until 19 y.o. until I could make A2
I feel you man.
And I could have taken my fucking test the whole two weeks after asking my instructor but I thought it would be colder now I wasted two fucking weeks and won't be ableto so my A2 before January and now j can't visit muh girl in Spain and borrow worst Yamaha anons bike without being illegal
Damn

Ah, gotcha. That sucks.
So does DBT have an opinion on the new LAMS MT07?
>38kw
>57.5Nm
>179kg wet weight
>http://motorbikewriter.com/yamaha-mt-o7-targets-learners/
No throttle restrictor like other 650's btw, the bike was designed specifically for lams.
do big bore kits work on 125s?
i like my little bike but it could be a bit faster
>>14099818
Is that you wranton?
You can make it a 183cc, Look up Malossi big bore kits for the wr125.
>>14099817
3kW too powerful for it to be saleable in the EU as a A2 bike.
>>14099849
Does that mean bikes like the cb400sf are not a2 legal?
>>14099817
How does LAMS work? How long until you can ride unrestricted?
I can only compare to A2
Too expensive for a beginner bike you sell after 2 years.
Too powerless for unrestricting it after 2 years.
>>14099863
not sold in europe anyway. you either be 48hp or below or 72hp and over, not many people buy something gutless when unrestricted.
>>14099863
Yes. They need a detune/throttle restrictor
>>14099845
Nah not me. The malossi kit was done by one of our customers, only the better pull from down, not bigger Hugh speed. And made problems, seems like it wasn't the best material so it was somehow faulty.
And no point in big bore the wr since I can do my a2 after the sixth January anywaus.
>>14099883
Hard to say how lams actually works, Bikes like the ktm300exc are LAMS approved somehow. (Lams literally means Learner approved motorcycle scheme)

I'm a faggot and I'm really into small bikes.
I was looking at the Honda Grom but it has a pretty big price tag for what it is.
What's a small/scooter-sized bike that can comfortably cruise at 55 MPH without being topped out at max capable revs?
>>14099981
It is better and worse than the old laws. Old laws used to be 250cc bike for 3 months on learners, then another year on P plates before no restrictions.
People were going froma 250 to a litre bike and getting killed so they changed it to the LAMS approved bikes for 3 years and 3 months before you can upgrade to what ever you want.
How does /dbt/ feel about the XT-225 for a starter bike?
/dbt/ is there anything wrong with wearing a full face street bike helmet with flip down visor on a dirt bike.
Also am I a faggot for wanting one of those helmet Mohawks.
>>14099982
honda grom
>>14099982
Get a cbr250r
>>14100023
the only wrong thing is how much you care about how you look imho
>>14099982
not the grom
>>14100023
>/dbt/ is there anything wrong with wearing a full face street bike helmet with flip down visor on a dirt bike.
Nope
>Also am I a faggot for wanting one of those helmet Mohawks.
Yes, but don't let us tell you how to live your life. If that's what you wanna do, go for it.
Be yourself or you'll regret listening to an anime website looking back on your life from your deathbed.
My Dad's best friend wants to gift me his old bike for Christmas. How do I convince him to take money for it? I'll feel guilty if I get it for free :<
>>14100018
I feel good about that
>>14100036
Shut the hell up and take your free bike you ungrateful little shit
>>14100036
I would keep the money and spend it on bike.
>>14100036
What bike? How close a friend
>>14100018
Great choice
Do some sikk slides in an open field

dont
just take lots of pics of you enjoying it and send them to him
>>14100005
>3 years and 3 months
mother of god
I had enough of my A2 bike after 6 months
>>14099982
>small/scooter-sized bike that can comfortably cruise at 55 MPH
Comfortable crusting at 55 is a 175cc ish engine requirement. The Grom tops out at 55-60 and that is totally believable with a 125cc engine. If you like small bikes, a two stroke might be wiser. Like a DT-175 or a KE-175, even a frigging 70's cr125m if you got the gumption to put some 6v lights on it.
>>14099982
See >>14100018
An XT-225 would be great because, for a dual sport, it is pretty low. Seat height is just a smidge above 30 inches. Gas mileage is decent and it tops out at around 75 mph, so you can easily cruise at 55 mph with a gear left.
They can also be had for fairly cheap. New models are a little over $4k and half that for a used one in decent shape.
>>14100071
I had my A2 bike for 8 months and it's only my knee joints that have had enough of it. Maybe you're just a retard
>>14100071
Could be worse, When i first went for my learners we were between the new laws and the old laws so we were allowed to ride the new LAMS bikes but still only had the 3 months of learns then 1 year of P plates, i decided to keep my learners for 11 months not 3 months to get more experience before my P test and by time i went for my P's they had changed the laws without me realising so i am stuck on lams for nearly 4 years.
In saying that 2 and a half years in and i am not really complaining about it, i still like my bike.
>>14100042
How is he ungrateful?
>>14100036
Just get him a gift card to somewhere he likes to shop. It'll seem like a christmas gift but it's really payment for the bike
>>14100059
CAn't see shit with these lights.
>>14100099
Fine for you that you suck balls, the bike was limiting me after 6 months.
>>14100141
I bet you were ready to win a TT race within a year too.
>>14100141
Pretty sure finding the bikes top speed down a highway is a bit different than the bike limiting your ability in any other area.
What's a good job to get to finance my motorcycle hobby?
I'm thinking about doing a semester at community college to become a phlebotomist.
>>14100162
kek, come to the ring and I'll beat your time on your bike. We don't need to discuss this here.
>>14100184
pretty sure no one lost a word about top speed anywhere
>>14100193
>on your bike
So I take it you don't have a bike of your own aye?
>>14100193
I just fail to believe you were anywhere near your bikes limits within 6 months.
>>14100071
I've had my 125 since last august
It is fun to ride in the city and going to muddy places and stuff(forgot the name in english,) glad I got an enduro one.
But when I have to go to another city which is supposed to be 30-50mins away it's a burden, I still feel comfy but the person behind me doesn't and the entire trip I'm going at 90max so its fucking boring unless i'm going a bit downhill to hit over 100km/h
maxed 104km/h with gf on the back, 77+47kg
need to try alone
>hit car on my bike
>broken fairings and headlight
>have to drop it off at shop for insurance to cover the estimated $1300 of damage
>takes a week for them to assess the damage
>tells me it will take another week for parts to come in
>tells me parts are on backorder, should still be ready in a few days
>just called, they leave tomorrow at 1, and are closed for christmas, and then closed for new years week and won't be reopening until january 7th
its going to take over a month to fix something that my insurance estimated to take 2.3 hours of labor
what the fuck there is going to be snow and shit by the time i get it back

they happen randomly when im riding in the dirt

>I'm thinking about doing a semester at community college to become a phlebotomist.
if you only wanna go for a semester do welding instead
$100k/yr
>>14100248
100k a year welding? Do you have to be on an oil rig for that pay or what are we talking about here?
>>14100248
thats boiler making ya dingbat.
Add working in confined spaces, working at heights, white card, red card, pressure welding and a 4 year long apprenticeship to your studying and yeah ok.
>>14100248
I'm not big on stuff like that desu, I know it sounds lazy of me but I'd rather work indoors and not put my health at risk the way welders do.
>$100k/yr
Not possible anymore with oil prices going down. You'd be lucky to pull in $60k-$70k a year working 70-80 hours a week.
I'm a loser and want to stay in my hometown with my friends and family in central Appalachia making $13 an hour chilling and riding motorcycles and driving cool 80s shitboxes.
I don't want to live near the gulf and spend all of my 20s working.
