I'm not allowed to ride it! And it's not fixed yet either.
>>14691351
>I'm not allowed to ride it!

We are here to protect your freedoms. This is now a law enforcement motorcycle thread. Post your bolis and military bikes.
>>14691351
But you could still get some new pics, I like the baby bike a lot.
Also, why are you not allowed to ride it, and what is broken?
>>14691361
I can't ride it because I need A2 license, which I can't do until July. It's broken because I need to replace the rectifier/regulator (which I picked up a few minutes ago) and I need to rebuild the seat brackets. Also my spark plug caps don't match so I have to change the front ones, but they're not broken.
Only other picture I have right now.
>>14691356
No idea what bolis are

>>14691371
Does that mean you're underage? No worries, I will repair and ride the baby viffer until you get your almost big boy license
Where can I pick it up?

You should just give up if you can't get your feet down, m8. Look at this woman getting both feet down on a tall trail bike. How does it make you feel?
>>14691376
I can warm the engine up every other night myself, thankyouverymuch. And not quite, 18 for another few months, no b& for me.
>>14691380
Lel I bought it like that. It's actually not as bad, even though I'm 1,80 m in height. It has pretty good slow speed maneuverability, and I can scrape the pegs in almost every corner lel. Also, my mum already said she will safely buy it as soon as I get my A license, so it's a pretty good situation 2bh
>>14691383
But then why would you be unable to do the license until July?
>>14691388
Need to be 19 for A2 in the UK.

K then
>>14691390
Didn't know that, here in Germany it's 18, although you can start doing lessons 6 months before you turn 18
>>14691392
Trail bike is just another name for dual sport, which the XT absolutely is. Maybe you read it too quickly and thought it said trials.

I had a dream about this carburetor last night and i woke up with the feeling i'm close to fix it.

Yeah, of course. Don't think she wouldn't do the same to you.
>>14691467
>unironically being italian
>>14691469
I don't think I understand
should I shag my mum for money or should I demand full price for the bike?
>>14691475
Both.
>>14691475
More than full price. If she can't pay it all then you could hint at giving her a discount in return for some "services".
>>14691479
>>14691480
>mfw
i mean I paid 2,5k european dollars for it back in the day, i guess I'll get 2,2 or 2,3 back from her.
unfortunately, she's not as hot as kkk's mum, so i think i might have to pass on the services

>>14691619

>>14691619
IIRC they have better reputation than ktm if that means anything
>>14691626
>carbed and italian made
oh well, move on then
>>14691626
most dirt bikes made before 2010 have a carby, efi is still a new thing when it comes to off road.
>>14691628
it's not really hard to have a better reputation than KTM
>>14691635
still, I don't know how many 140kg 50hp sumo manufacturers are there
>>14691628
ktm still makes the best bikes when it comes to performance, people that don't like them fail to understand all dirt bikes are extremely unreliable unless they are under powered putt around bikes like the drz range.
>>14691642
>xr650r
>>14691633
it's not an offroad though, it's an out of factory supermoto, solely designed for road use. Even the XT660 from the same year has EFI, or the F650GS from 2001 which has EFI
>>14691647
>discontinued
>>14691649
those might be the only two and are as far from performance possible
the only hoon efi is the 690 afaik and is kind of a snowflake every other bike is carb
>>14691654
fucking honda
>>14691642
performance wise they're top-tier but this is the only thing KTM has going. If I'm looking for a street-hooning machine and not a racebike I'd stick to something more reliable I can get mileage out of. But that's just me
>>14691300
Sup /dbt/ I need help choosing a new bike. I've narrowed it down to either the FJ09 or an R6.
My Katana 600 that I've had for 4 years and pretty much had as my only form of transportation for most of that has finally died.
I know they are two completely different bikes for different things, but I'm sure you can use the R6 to commute without too much discomfort and then have fun on the weekends. At the same time the FJ09 seems like the smarter choice.
TLDR; Im a faggot and cant choose a baiku halp.
>>14691642
The DRZ really isn't that slow once you get rid of all the emissions bs. IIRC the off-road only DRZ was more powerful than the 400EXC and far more powerful than the XR400. However it is still limited by the transmission and weight.
>>14691641
>super moto
>>14691642
see the problem is road bike riders talking about dirt bikes.
>>14691649
Adventure bikes are not what most people would call dirt bikes, when people say dirt bikes they are generally referring to things such as a ktm450exc or 450sx for some examples, things that are designed to exclusively ride on dirt not on a road doing a constant RPM, and even in 2008 they were still using a carby.
>>14691380
>tall trail bike
>XT
lol trail bikes always have low seat hights. look for MX bikes if you want to see tall seat heights.
>>14691664
you should test ride the r6 to know how comfort you are willing to endure
>>14691667
Yeah, but my point is that the SM610 is as far from a dirt bike as the XT or the Bimmer is, but it still has a fucking carb
>>14691666
compared to a 450 they are very slow and very heavy though.
>>14691664
>no gsxr750
>>14691666
the rmx? wasn't it a completely different engine?
>>14691667

I don't get it
>>14691675
Yeah, but your point is wrong
>>14691664
FKG?
Third Katana guy?
>>14691675
No it's not. They literally took their 610 enduro model and did a supermoto swap
>>14691684
how is it wrong? how is it excusable that a 100 percent road bike has a carb post 2002?
>>14691626
My CB500 is carbed and Italian-made, not a problem.
>>14691685
I've only posted my Katana here like 4 years ago when I first got it, it was a monstrosity to say the least, I'll try to find the picture again.
>>14691697
>there is a 4th undercover katana guy
duuude
yeah post it, I wanna see it
>>14691684
road bike riders and their obsession with calling dirt bikes sumos then riding them with dumb body postions, it is sickening.
why abs brakes
what if i *want* to lock my brakes
>>14691684
No, the DRZ400E or normal DRZ400, the models that weren't street legal.
>>14691679
With a big bore kit to put them in the same class they really aren't down on power by much.
>>14691690
>how is it wrong
they aren't as far from dirt bikes
bikes like the 610 have the same engine used in enduros to deliver some performance, while the xt or the gs have engines purposefully designed for them and all they have to deliver is reliability
>>14691711
Stop defending the drz its an ag bike for old farmers to putt around the farm and check the cows on, it is in no way comparable to an rmx450
>>14691711
>No, the DRZ400E or normal DRZ400, the models that weren't street legal.
dunno, motorcyclespecs still list it as below 40hp
>>14691705
What exactly is dumb about the body position?
>>14691743
just leave him alone, he's some purist upset at other people having fun
>>14691743
you gotta push the bike down, and sit up on the tank. idk why
>>14691692

>>14691704
Sadly I think I deleted the picture from my computer. But basically when I got it, it was spray painted black and lime green with Monster energy drink and shit loads of other stickers all over it. The windshield, headlight and taillights were all painted black too.
>>14691743
Only that its completely wrong?
>>14691752
The one in the first pic or the one you just posted?
>>14691752
>>14691747
>>14691750
>Monster energy stickers
>>14691755
the first pic. they are dirt bikes, the body position you use when cornering on one does not change just because you are riding on the road, its like when you see someone riding a sport bike and leaning the opposite direction around corners, the bike is not designed for that.
>>14691664
TEST RIDE TIME
>>14691760
>not putting monster energy stickers on your bike so you can pretend you have sponsors
>>14691783
Energy drinks are trash for plebs though. I might put a Tetley logo on it. Still pleb tier tea but at least it's not 16 year old faggot tier.
>>14691764
Doesn't it? Road corners are usually much faster and you don't have the berms to stop you low-siding.
>>14691664
I got on an r6 once, this is how I felt after 40 minutes..
>>14691783
You don't put that shit on a 95 Katana and think your hot shit. The guy also took off the blinkers and replaced them with LED strips, which were pretty much invisible, even at night.
>>14691787
To be fair that was actually a race bike the sponsors were legit sponsors
>>14691809
I guess if you're getting paid to have it on your bike it's not so bad. Prefer Red Bull though. They have a much more classy logo and colour scheme.

>>14691844

>>14691664
How tall are you, and how big is your dick
>>14691823
The guy I bought the bike from was uncannily close to that guy, just a little more fat. I swear he said some of the same shit, except he put a vance and hines on it and thought it was the coolest shit.
I got the bike for 800 bucks, it had 30k miles and I rode it till it died near 50k on it. I never even did any major work to it, the only parts I ever changed was the chain, and tires. Near the end I had to start it with starter fluid every time or else it wouldnt start, and im pretty sure for a good amount of time it was only running on 2 1/2 cylinders.
>>14691851
you create a compelling argument
>>14691857

>>14691859

>>14691859
you are a bad person and I would like to stab you with a broken CD shard.
>>14691890
>>14691877
Yeah looking back on it I feel bad, but I was a student so I was poor as fuck, and I thought why put more money than I paid for into the bike. If it helps I did change the oil often, because it liked to leak that everywhere.
>>14691871
Ok so both bikes won't feel too big/small on you.
Have you test ridden the fj09 yet? Are you willing to change your riding style a bit?
>>14691356
>>14691909
No, I havent test ridden either, I just recently got the itch to want to ride again. I dont mind changing my riding style. The bike isnt going to be used for any super long commutes, probably 20 minutes to work and back.
>>14691921
thats a really short ride. why did you select the fj and r6 might i ask?
>>14691914
Bretty nice.
This price is unacceptable. This is why I can't have nice things

>>14691932
yeah that's a crazy price. that's not even an r6 technically right? its the yzf600r thundercat iinm
>>14691929
Cost to performance for both. But the FJ because I enjoyed the way it looked, and people said it was comfy yet had some pep to its step. For the R6 I've always wanted one, and its pretty much in the same price range as the FJ, so its kind of hard to not get the bike you've wanted for years.

>not posting from baiku
>>14691940
ah ok. well the fj is definitely comfortable. i'm 6'4'' and i've only sat on it, but it was great. can't speak to the engine, never rode it. wish i could though. the yamaha dealers around here pressure the shit out of you and when i made it clear i only want to test ride, and not buy, they scoffed.
r6 can be made a bit more comfy. lower pegs, bar risers.
>>14691936
yup
chick I know wants to look at it in a week and maybe buy it, new bike is lined up and will arrive mid/late april (fucking hyped). It's a shame because I just did the whole maintenance thing and it runs beautifully, maybe I can sell it higher than I bought it for though and make some money back.

Why don't you just ask 4chan? We know everything.
Something really weird just happened:
I was in 5th gear at around 100 kmh, opened up the throttle about halfway, and for about 1 second, everything went well. Then, the bike just suddenly lost power. I was slowing down, pushing the starter button did nothing, and I had to coast to a parking lot about 200 m.
Then, when I tried to start the bike again, only the starter turned over. The bike didn't start, no matter how i put the choke. The I decided to bump start it, and it worked.
I then rode home (only about 1 kilometre), and after about 500 metres, the tank appeared to be empty. I put the petcock on reserve, and the bike started no problem. Then, I went to fill the bike up, and everything worked just fine again.
Fucking carbs, I'm telling y'all.
>>14691968
I don't want to tell yet I want to take nice pictures first. I stay loyal to suzuki tho, should be pretty easy to guess.
here's my gs500 instead
>>14691994
So basically you ran out of fuel? Then switched to reserve and everything was fine?
>>14691994
Next time just fucking switch to reserve when you lose power and ride to the next fuel station ffs.
>>14691994
Yeah you gotta clean the carbs. That requires taking the entire bike apart. It's at least a three day process

>>14692000
>>14692001
I usually sense when I'm about to run out of petrol, because the bike gets all jerky and weird, before it turns off. Nothing of that happened before my fifth gear high speed fun time.
>tfw you want to take more bike lessons at your driving school. But you can't because to many people are already subbed.

It's almost like you don't want to have a learning experience flooding your bike, probably contaminating your oil with gas and having a miserable time in general.
I'm not sure if I'll have other project bike ever again.
>>14692072

Your testicles are really smooth. Do you wax? I like the way your shaft gets so wide closer to the tip.
Nice lights too.
>>14692404
Oh it's just your arm... how disappointing.
>>14692404
Is there going to be anything to cover up that black panel behind the lights?

Is this seeping oil or just grime?
So tired of the fairings rattling on my ninja 650r. Really want to ditch them and go Street fighter, or just swap in plastics from the naked version, how hard is this to do?

Top kek that's what you get for not looking at the pics you send.

2 plugs.
Or if you want to keep using that tire you could run it with a tube.
>>14692470
Don't have the skills to fab something like that without it looking even more shit than what I have, and the original housing wouldn't fit anymore, the damage was too extensive.

There's nobody that's posts bikes on craigslist around here. One guy keeps posting nice bikes for a 1000 dollars trying to scam people.
