thoughts on supermotos?
I personally love them
>>14892017
Once I buy a car I'll be probably getting rid of the DR650 and getting a WR250X or a DRZ400SM with a big bore kit.

Unless you are riding REALLY hard you should stick to the stock wheels. It's basically rice for dirt bikes.

You'll likely find both of those more boring than the DR650. If you're going to get rid of the DR you might as well replace it with something exciting like the Beta he pictured, or any other 450.

It's like you dislike being a hektik cunt
>>14892046
The thing is helmet cam footage sucks unless it's recorded in wide angle. Helmets just move around so much, and a narrow FOV makes it appear even more shaky when watching the video.
>>14892046
and to think its on an old canon powershot camera.
>>14892030
get a plated trail bike, both of those bikes you mentioned are less powerful than the 650 and neither are significantly lighter or more nimble for the loss of power.
>>14892032
It's cheaper if you're using it on-road a lot. I didn't bother taking the knobbies off the DR and they've balded in a ridiculously short amount of time from commuting.
>>14892048
I would get a 450 if their maintenance schedule wasn't so bad. I'm a lazy motherfucker and would prefer not having to replace my oil every week. I commute on my bike, so I really want it available at all times without having to work on it.
>>14892048
true I am currently looking into a wr450 or, go crazy and get a ktm690?
living in SoCal with an SV650, going to be moving to Flagstaff
anything I should know about living in an environment that snows?
i was thinking about getting a supermoto/dual sport, but my SV is well maintained and has some tasteful aftermarket upgrades
how to ride in the rain/snow?

Not if you get an actual supermoto. Real sport/supermoto tires cost $100+ each and last only like 3k miles. Plus the maintenance schedule of the actual "super" motards is more expensive than a normal dual sport. And you have to consider the hundreds of dollars spent for the 17" wheels.
You can get non-knobbies for the stock wheels. Dual sport tires can be had for less than $60 each, and I bet they will still be far more capable than you are, especially when commuting. Just slap some 80/20 tires on your DR.
>source
I converted a dual sport to "supermoto" (wheels, tires, brakes, etc.). Got hektik. Went back to dual sport tires. Still ride just as fast on street and even more so on trails.
Anybody have those pics of that anon that got frost bite on his dick because he was riding in the cold.
>>14892070
Pretty ok. Went to a bike night thing with some friends and had a good night

Sounds fun, I'm yet to go out and look for a bike meetup thing
>>14892091
I've got Dunlop 606s on currently for 50/50 use and some 80/20 tyres in my garage waiting to be put on.
>>14892104
I follow a few local groups on fb that do get togethers and group rides. It's pretty cool. Since riding season is coming up so will a bunch of events
>>14892110
Put them on and try riding it. You'll know if you still need to upgrade to sportier tires.
Also if you want your bike to turn in a bit faster you can drop the triple clams down on the forks a few mm.
>>14892030
ridden a dr-z with a 440 kit, not that spesh.
I'd get a 660 or 640 LC4 KTM if I were you.
I rode an XR650R and that was fantastic too but they carry a pretty heavy meme tax around NSW (so do bloody dr-z's though)
>>14892121
>>14892121
dam son how long are your legs? That bike looks pretty small on you.
>>14892121
660SMC right? Are they actually any good on the dirt? Even if I don't ride dirt very often I still need a bike that's capable on more technical stuff. Are the LC4s really as bullet-proof as everyone claims?
>>14892119
Can i do that on a standard bike?
>>14892128
I'm only 6'2 but it's mostly in the legs I think.
Dirtbikes still feel tall but I can flat foot most.
>>14892142
I've got a mate who swears on them, his 2014 WR450 has been a merry go round of trouble but his 640/500 were flawless.
>>14892155
Dropping the front and/or jacking the back is a time honored way of improving turn-in. Back in the bias-ply days, a narrower front rim (with the same size tire) is another way, but you can't do that with radials.
>>14892155
yeah, but you'll probably run into issues like shaking or ground clearance. engineers spent years working on getting your motorcycle's geometry right. best not to fuck with it
>>14892155
best thing to do is to put sporty tyres on it if you want it to turn faster.
They make a difference.
>>14892168
fuck is this shit
never in my life seen someone get off their bike like that cuckold way
>>14892201
They also designed it to be adjustable in that way. You can just mark where they were originally and try moving them some. If it's bad then you can adjust it back to stock.

Rode a 190cc CT110 once. Scary as shit.
Got the left indicator working on the MC22. Stripped the wire and re-terminated it into the connector with a pair of pliers and a bottle opener. Tr00 Aussie electrical work.
Front brakes and brake light switch are working now too.
Rear brakes still aren't working and there's a problem with the switch but I think I've isolated where the problem is. Hoping to check it out today or tomorrow.
>>14892284
>mfw fagets keep comparing off-road knobbies to street tires saying it's the only way
Street tires exist for the stock wheel sizes.
What is it you can do with your tard setup that I couldn't do with my dual sport tires?
anyone have a corbin or sargent seat on their bike? seriously considering taking the plunge and could use some input

the 183 in a grom is about perfect, it handles it well.
This thing Anima 190 in a pitbike with a normal length swingarm and 12 inch wheels was stupid, it's not even that particularly fast (maybe about as fast as a stock dr-z400SM?) but it was just dodgy, it was not really designed to handle that speed or power, it was fucked.

The CT110 was a YX170 bored out to 190cc if I remember. If you haven't ridden a CT110 they weigh about 83kg (182lbs), have drum brakes, and feel sketchy at 60kph (37mph).
Now up the power from 7hp to 27hp and keep the rest of the bike the same.
>>14892355

Women aren't worth it, anon.
More so women with problems aren't worth it. Thinking that you can "save" someone is literally the worst thing you can do in life to fuck yourself up. People with problems are fucking parasites. You aren't helping them, you're volunteering to become a host for them to feed upon. They drag you down, suck you dry, and eventually move on to another hose.
You'll never be a knight in shining armor. We can't fix people. We can't save people.
If a chick has issues with drinking, drug use, cutting, any eating disorder, any family issues, if shes into tattoos, dyed hair, or piercings you avoid them like the plague.

i wouldn't even consider it but i'm starting to get into taking longer rides as i branch out to discover new roads. 7-8 hour days are what i'm aiming for and the stock seat just isn't cutting it. do you think it'd be worth the money for a "premium" seat for longer amounts of time? leaning towards sargent since their seats are waterproof.
>>14892395

That's why I'm so fucked up it's cuz invested so much time into her.. Talking and text and when she wasn't at my place she'd FaceTime and text constantly.. The countless hours I spent trying to keep this cunt happy. And look at me now I'm the one who's sad
>>14892390

>>14892442
It seems like it happens to most guys at least once these days. I wish it was a lesson I had learned as a kid instead of an adult. Thats the type of thing a father needs to teach his son about.
The feelings eventually subside. Just tough it out til then.
>>14892456
accepting pain doesn't mean pain doesn't exist
>>14892425
like I said, sounds awesome. what was the fastest you got it to?
>>14892442
Cut your loses, move on. It sounds to me like you have some kind of cognitive dissonance. You put so much time into her, so you feel you're entitled to be together rather than just cutting your losses and moving on. Dwelling on it isn't going to help, just accept what happened, and move on from it in time is the best advice you can get.
>>14892466
>like I said, sounds awesome. what was the fastest you got it to?
We got it up to 180kph (~110mph). Only got four gears to work with so that was the limit not the engine. There's no limiter either so gotta be careful not to blow it up.
I go through a rear tyre every week or two on my CT anyway so wouldn't want to deal with that one for long.
The more impressive build was the 85hp KR-1S that blew it's head "every other oil change". Felt like you were going to die when it hit power band.
Does /dbt/ name their bikes?
>>14892464
Yeah truthfully I brought this shit upon myself. i should have got out when I had the chance. I knew she was sad and depressed and had issues but I thought I could fix that.. But I've learned stuff from this whole ordeal.. What pisses me off the most is she never gave me a reason as to why she left...

150-200miles. It's about 25-30 hours of riding. I've been using my NBC110 more often lately though. It's a piece of shit but it can carry more.

weight doesn't matter very much for top speed. Most of the energy goes to fighting the wind. Plus you would have to have it geared VERY high to reach those speeds without running out of revs.

It'll be an R6 or a 250 two-stroke for me. Friend of mine just bought a VFR800, hoping to give it a spin in a week or two. Said he could have a go on my R1 in return haha.
>>14892574
We haven't had much trouble getting various 250s to 100mph with barely any work. The CT weighs literally half of what they weigh.
Keep in mind we had to swap a lot of the transmission and what not to run a manual clutch.
The road we use is also very long. This is a very big country.
>>14892598
pretty much this, but with a desmodromic vlavetrain, and the wheels fall off every 3000 miles.
>>14892622
250s generally put out power in the low 30s stock, and most have fairings for less drag. I think you were probably measuring wrong with them too/

I'm giving the CBR to my younger brother once I finish fixing it, but I definitely plan to get a two-stroke 250 when I can.
So turns out 10° is a bit fresh if you're only riding in jeans. Should have just spent those extra 30 seconds putting on riding pants, god damn.

>>14892848
>y tho. you should get an RSV4 or MV agusta
Because they're basically nothing alike to ride. I wanted a CBR600RR (07) but the YCC-T on my R1 is so easy to tune (you can tune on the stock ECU too) and the R6 from 06 on wards has it too.
RSV4 sounds wicked but guy I know with one gets 18mpg. I know you don't buy supersports with fuel economy in mind but fuck, my car is better than that.
Not into MV Augusta at all. I'd probably buy a Ducati 848 or 899 if I wanted to go that route.
>>14892879
that's fine, but you really think I will stop posting about things I do not know about but are very audibly and aesthetically pleasing?
How do I do this?

nigga what the fuck. like actually?
>>14892891
you start with 2 cones and do figure 8s.
Practice doing it with no clutch slipping, practice doing donuts as tight as possible, time yourself.
From there you get a long tape measure and google "remote motogymkhana competition" and start setting up the courses.

>>14892900
>>14892883
I didn't think the RSV4 was bad on gas just that it had a tiny tank. Maybe I'm thinking of another bike
I know the Hypermotard is one with a stupid small tank.
>>14892594
It's a sport touring bike, which is just a slightly more comfortable sport bike.
>>14892917
This is a neat lookin shot.
>>14892927
I enjoy bikes with small tanks

it's a sport bike, just not a supersport
>>14892865
Litre bikes are pretty cool to ride. I've taken my dad's vtr1000 out for a spin every now and then and you'll hit 120km/h without even thinking if you're used to riding smaller capacity bikes and give it a bit of a pull.

I thought so too when I decided to only wear jeans yesterday, but in the end we're talking about less than a minute here (textile pants; different story with leathers). Not really worth the increased risk of injury and frozen balls.

Just a preference thing for me. Reliability doesn't matter. My R1 is bullet proof.

Yep. Even my bike gets 40mpg.

I usually get 100 mile to reserve around town. WAY further on the highway though.

I guess. Still, fuck Ducati.

Why are Japan and Italy the only countries that make real motorcycles?
>>14893012
Pretty shit for a street bike m8. I think my KLX with stock tank will do close to 100 miles.
Also, I wish the Hyperstrada wasn't so damn ugly. Seems like a good middle ground of the Hypermotard and Multistrada

That's like 10k pics down the drain. Now I only have the 32k from my first 5 years on 4chan left.
Otherwise I'd have posted that webm of the guy parking his bike and throwing it on the ground.
>>14893019
Mines just under 5 gallons if I'm doing my conversion correctly.
I don't care that much though. I'm not 'wasting' any fuel as far as I'm concerned. I just don't like stopping for fuel.
>>14893035

What size KLX?
>>14893023

also the suspension not being that good mixed with some electrical issues is all

It's chalk and cheese. A KLX300R is what, 30hp? My R1 is around 180hp at the moment. 40mpg is pretty decent for what it is.

Plus, of course, the suspension and electrical issues, because if I'm paying 30k for a fucking motorcycle it better handle good and work. Ducati is just as bad as Harley.

You might have had a point if you'd mentioned Germany, but BMWs break down more than Panther IIs.
>>14893095
well suspension on panigale is supposedly good, I meant on the S1000s
>>14893031
i guess you dont give a shit about enduro or trials because france and spain also make great bikes.
>>14893100
>bait this weak
>>14893077
I know guy but the KLX only has a 2.6 gallon tank. I wasn't talking shit but a street bike with ~100 mile range isn't acceptable to me. That's just an opinion.
You're making similar mpg to my Tiger and I fill up at 200 miles typically on a 5.2 gal tank. It's efi but no reserve.
check me out riding my shitty overpriced cruiser to starbucks on a sunny saturday afternoon fellas

i had one for 2 months as my first bike. i sold it for exactly what i paid for. i just wanted to be sure about what i was getting into and not lose much money if i didnt like it. i have a 600 now.

Bullshit. Ninja 250s retain retarded value on the used market for what they are. You can buy so many more better squid middles for the cash.

What did they mean by this?
>>14893137
Cheap goes beyond purchase price. Yeah, they can have somewhat elevated purchase values, but they'll last goddamn forever and have good economy. Cheap to fix, cheap to fit.
>>14893132
Take a safety course. They are slow and overpriced.

>>14893123
too be fair this was after a month of riding only the Completely eXcellent 500
>>14893141
did i say they weren't? i bought it for 1800 and sold it for 1800. not very expensive, especially for California. obviously they are slow, but they are inherently a starter motorcycle. i dont see why this is a problem. i had it for 2 months and was ready to move on. i would recommend a 250 or 300 to nearly anyone as a start bike, along with the usual 650s. and i already have taken a safety course.
btw, what do you care what someone else rides?
>>14893114
Keep in mind that's around town and on my commute. If you're on the highway it's dramatically improved. It's also a 0-60 in 2.5 second bike, eating fuel is kind of expected.
You're still talking chump change for fuel though. I think I pay $3-4 more than a tank for my CBR and get to make four times the power.
>>14893128
>efi SO no reserve.
R1 has a fuel light that comes on and the trip meter swaps to reserve trip.
