Am I missing anything important to check out in this class of bike?
>>14898798
Vintage hondas are what I like though?
>>14898819
I don't know about the WR, but I hear it's not bad. With the DRZ you'll likely need to change your oil every 2k miles or less. It's much better than an MX bike but most street bikes allow you to go much longer.

I really really really don't understand what point you're trying to make here - I did exactly what you asked and proved that you can throw a $2000 rock and hit a clean cb350 pretty easily. I live in Williamsburg NYC which is basically the epicenter of this shit too so you'd think there would be scarcity.
If the point you're trying to make is there aren't as many 45 year old vintage motorcycles lying around in low population areas, no shit. That has nothing to do with hipsters chopping up old japbikes.
Rate my enchiladas

No. Popularity means more supply in the used bike market.

>>14898892
were that the case you'd see a preponderance of chopped, cafe'd out shitbikes rather than more or less unmodified -- which by the way, there are an abundance of in my greater metropolitan area as well.
and to expound, if people are buying shitbikes for cafe racers, don't you think that the existing cafe's are more likely to circulate heavily if there is the popularity you're proposing than be converted (by lazy as fuck hipsters) from existing stock bikes?
>>14898917

>nyc faggots

i still have yet to see the issue here, even with you anti cafe tardos moving the goalposts from "THEY'RE RUINING SUPER RARE EXPENSIVE OLD BIKES" to "THEY ARE BUYING THEM ALL UP" to "THEY ARE BUYING THEM ALL UP IN A 200 MILE RADIUS WORLDWIDE"
seriously, what is your point here? what is the problem with faggots in brooklyn buying cheap as fuck super common old japbikes and tearing them apart? there isn't any shortage, they aren't driving prices up (in fact yall are now arguing they are driving prices down), and they have 0 impact on your life.

I rode this during my MSF. If you're a shorter person you'll like it. They're slow, but they're simple as fuck and cheap as well. I'd say if it's just a little around town commuter that doesn't go on many highways for any length of time, get it.

You DR and KLR guys need to stop fighting. They're both good bikes that are better at some things and worse at others. The DR is better off road but worse on, and the KLR is better on road and worse off.
We have a bigger enemy here, and it's all the BMW and KTM cucks.
>>14898927
nah its spicy as fuck i can barely eat it as is

You need something a lot bigger than a 250.
If you're going the cruiser route look for a Boulevard C90.
>>14898939
Fuck no. I'm 6'5" and felt like a monkey fucking a soccer ball on the thing. Get a 250 dual sport instead.

>yes, even kkk
Let's not go that far.
>>14898939
nah you really need something bigger at that weight. you're basically the weight they expect the bike to be under when doubled up. you definitely want something with 30+ hp
alternatively lose some weight.
>>14898948

>>14898945
thats why you add powder chicken consomme and some water to the salsa before cooking it, so that you can make more salsa to completly dip the enchiladas with them being too spicy
>>14898973
Get the hyper and call it good.
>>14898962
there are physically millions of old shit japbikes out there, and people with the intent on making a cafe racers are going to want to get a cheap straight framed one, not a clean restored one that'll cost way more up front for parts they'd end up ditching anyway.
nothing is being ruined, you're not suffering as a result of the trend and arguably more of the bikes you love will pop up on craigslist because people think there is a demand. everybody wins.
stop being such a nancy
>>14898961
Well there are 1000+cc cruisers from Honda, Yamaha, and Kawasaki too. I just suggested the Boulevard because you were looking at a Suzuki to begin with.

>>14899013
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand wrong thread. Whoops.
>>14898999
nice get, again
>people that take the nice clean stock ones and start firing up the buzzsaw.
but nobody with the intent of making a cafe racer does that because clean stock ones cost a fuckload compared to old ones that need a rebuild anyway, which is exactly what they're buying the bike to do.
>>14898987

Its a measure of the volume of displacement in the engine. The physical space in the cylinders where fuel is compressed and ignited to generate power.
>>14899011
i hated this bike for a long time but i watched this video and i felt like i instantly understood it. the way the road just seems to end right where your hands are, the sound of the fucking beast. i would actually really like to own one of these sometime in the distant future.

thanks, and I suppose the larger you are the more cc you need?
>>14899020
Obviously can't compete top speed wise, but the torque is orgasmic. And the soound. Ohhhhhh the sound.
You'd probably win any race until you hit 100 or so. Its more about the handling than the speed.
>>14899042
oh and you are definitely at a disadvantage horsepower wise
>>14899022
Nope, seriously. Maybe selective internet hearing but I find exactly that happening.
Check out hondatwins.
>>14899041
It's not that simple, number of cylinders and how highly strung the motor is have a large effect. A 650 single makes 45-50 HP and a 600 i4 makes 130.
>>14899041
The displacement of an engine doesn't actually tell you how much power it produces.
Some 1000cc+ engines make less power than 600cc engines. So there is no direct correlation between the engine size and how the bike will fit a given rider.
There are a lot of nuances to engines and how they make power, displacement is just some metric that marketing departments decided stuck with consumers.

i'm looking at hondatwins right now and the FS section is filled with mostly cheap clean cbs, expensive restored clean cbs, and really expensive one-off customs.
i don't see the issue here. hondatech also has people who try to sell EG's for 9k. people on specialized forums will sell for more because their audience inherently values what they're selling more.
>>14899067
well i didn't know any of that. that's pretty disappointing. i still love the idea of the bike at least.
>>14899085
No I mean, the cafe projects dont start with ratty old ones. They start with nice stock clean ones.
Anyone have experience with the newer CBR300/CB300F models? Found a few locally for a decent price, and I've been meaning to pick up something around that size for small-town commuting and the occasional daytrip. Nothing too serious.

It's pretty simple really. A motorcycle with a full tank generally weighs between 350 and 600 pounds. The rider will add another 150 to 300 pounds.
The engine is pretty small and only has so much horsepower, so the heavier the rider the more horsepower and torque you need to move the bike and the rider.
Sport bikes are like Japanese sports cars. They're light and have low power at low RPMs and have to rev really high to get up and go. They go really fast but they're pretty dangerous.
Cruisers are more like American muscle cars. They don't have a lot of power compared to their weight, but they have a lot of low end torque, though that means their top speed is generally pretty low compared to sport bikes.
Since you're a really big guy, you're going to need a lot more power and a lot bigger bike than someone who's only 5'8 and 160lbs. You're probably going to want a cruiser, and as a big guy a sub 1000cc engine isn't going to cut it on the highway.
Get a 1000+cc Japanese cruiser. Don't buy a Harley Davidson because they're unreliable and cost twice as much as the Jap bike because of the brand.
Since you're a football player with your career ahead of you, don't go too fast, make sure you're always riding defensively, and wear all your gear all the time. None of this jeans and a tshirt with a half helmet shit. Get riding pants, boots, gloves, and a jacket and full helmet. You'll prevent most injuries when you fall this way, and at this point in your career you really don't want to be sidelined because you slid down the highway and got the skin on your arms, back, and legs shredded.
Absolutely never ride in flipflops or tennis shoes. Boots only. More than anything else other than the helmet you'll need boots, because there's nothing that can end a season faster than a serious foot injury. Especially for a lineman like you who needs a good solid base.

Oh, and one other thing that comes up with football players a lot.
Under no circumstances should you ever drink and ride. More than half of all motorcycle accidents involve alcohol, and athletes are very prone to DUI. I don't know what division or school you play at, but nothing will cause your draft stock to plummet faster than a DUI or DUI related accident. Especially on something as dangerous as a motorcycle.

The Holy list repels the Skid demom.
>>14898873
Damn I didn't see this.
But it's the combination of hyperfocus, ie. being in "The zone" and the adrenaline rush of being scared shitless.
There is no space in your brain left for thoughts about anything else, 100% of your focus is directed toward riding the bike, getting the lines right and making sure you don't bloody crash.
This is why people like fabio say 4 hours on a motorcycle is like a weeks vacation, you will struggle NOT to think of life's problems while on vacation but you can't think about anything else at all, not even what you're gonna have for dinner while you're on a motorcycle riding twisties.

I will probably do it when I take my vacation I suppose, are there helmets comfortable for people that wear glasses?
>>14899249
Thanks list anon
>>14899316
It's not that much heavier than my SV, SV's aren't that light, they're heavier than 600s and such, they're close to 200kg with a full fuel tank.
I think what gives people the impression that they're lighter than they actually are is the way the engine is all packaged around the centre of rotation on the bike while it's a bit further forward on an I4 bike.
I4 is probably better for a beginner, the SV's are pretty sharp when you crack the throttle from 0%, lots of snap in the low RPMS.
>>14899346
You don't even have a wr anymore, how can you be on the fag list?
>>14899343
it's been a long time since i've taken the MSF course, but i'm pretty sure i provided my own helmet, if that's what you're asking, so i don't know how comfy theirs are. they may even require you to provide your own, i'm not sure.
but in general, there are of course helmets that are comfortable to wear glasses in. i wear sunglasses under mine all the time.

The skid demon lurks within your very shadow, anon. You can no better defend against him than against the changing of seasons.
All flesh returns to earth through the demon's mouth, some just at higher speed than others.

Just buy a scooter. You dont need a motorcycle to ride it in california.
>>14899246
MSF course. Take it.
>>14899412
I don't want a scooter though

No m8, the list is holy and repels the skid demon, but it dosent mean he cant get to you.

Ive seen those in Mexico, you can trade them for a donkey.
Hey f/o/lks, whats a good beginners dual sport that is reliable for long distance travel, and also capable of maintaining comfortable highway speeds, while being weighed down with camping gear?
>>14899427
yea but it's not a homosexual scooter like the rest
>>14899440

Lotta people poppin up in cali lately, where abouts are yah?
As for your question, take the MSF course, small amount of money and very worth it for the learning experience. Upon completion of the MSF you'll get a thing to waive the on-bike test at the DMV, and the DMV written test is ez.

KTM 690 enduro. DR/XR650 if you're willing to drop "comfortable" from the requirements.
>>14899465

>>14899471
He said reliable not something that will snap in half
>>14899471
The KTM is a better bike but I don't know if I'd slate it as comfortable. Every dual sport needs a seat and possibly bars to be comfy. Plus the 690E vibes are shit.
60 hp probably not ideal for a first dual sport either.
>>14899488
I am going to get one soon
>>14899471
>KTM 690
Seems way more expensive than the alternatives for a problem that does not seem too big for me.
>>14899502
Are you still dead set on the klx450 lol?
>>14899508
Yes ktm are good bikes, probably the best
>>14899497
>>14899452
Thanks for the advice. Quick question, why is the Kawasaki website so shit? I can't test out the colors and the design is all fucky.
>>14899498
I mean comfortable on the highway, the jap 650's will be running hard to do highway speeds loaded up with shit, KTM will have some top end left.
stopped by the dealership on the way back from work this morning, i like the new speed triple's front end
>>14899508

p-pls no bully
>>14899532
well hope you enjoyed my image dump
>>14899542
I support your decision
>>14899522
The XR and DR are still comfy at 70. Not so say the 690 doesn't have more to give, it obviously does, but those two are fine for what he needs and at a fraction of the price
>>14899518
>Yes ktm are good bikes, probably the best
Only if you love fixing things.

Blasphemy.

B-Brandon? what are you doing on here.
>>14899557
To be fair KTM's are easier to work on than any other brand of bike, can pull a ktm down to look like pic related then put it all back together in maybe 15 minutes.

Dont GoPros look weird as a box hanging off the side of the helmet?
the kawisaki versys is the girl who's maybe a couple pounds over what's healthy. she's let herself go a little bit and been burned in the past, so she's a little cautious reaching out for new experiences in life. she's not the most beautiful girl in the world, but she's got it where it counts. her nurturing instinct is strong and she warmly extends it unconditionally to those she cares about. the versys isn't the kind of girl who's going to go out to the club, get shitfaced, and cuck you with tyrone. she's just not like that -- she's quiet, and prefers to spend some nice, one-on-one time alone with the person she cares about. she's not going to go into fits of histrionics if she gets mad. she's calm and rational, always more interested in talking it out than fighting. she's honest, and she cares.
you could care for her too, /dbt/.
>>14899590
Side mount is worst mount
>>14899590
why do you care what it looks like? it's for filming
>>14899561
Just about. Just gotta reconnect a coolant hose, throw on the wheels now that the tires are on and balanced, and eventually I'll get it painted. Might just throw a sticker over the cracks in the plastics so they don't explode on me.
>>14899590
Put it on the chin.

I don't mind it on the side, I have not tried the chin though.

>>14899552
I don't know what it is with /dbt/ saying 650 dual sport's are fine on the highway, I took my DR650 on the highway a few times and it was terrible. I was either bouncing off the limiter or in the right lane getting passed by semi's every 10 seconds and the blast of wind was like someone trying to push me off the bike. I had a death grip on the handlebars the whole time because every bump sent the front end wobbling like crazy. and that was without any cargo. Maybe it's just just the combination of high speed traffic and shitty roads around Chicago, but I wouldn't recommend taking a dual sport on the highway unless you absolutely have to.
>>14899605
maybe it's just because I haven't owned a dog in 3 years but all doggos look cute to me now.
this nigga pimping his dog out to get grills I can tell.

>>14899618
Yes, you see after 2 decades of building faulty bikes they listened to the consumer who was saying "make it easier to work on this piece of shit you fucking cunts"

>>14899637
it is true though, you can get to the air filter on new KTMs in 10 seconds, and all the fuel lines and what not are all the quick disconnect type now that clip on and off on the EXC models IIRC.
>>14899652
Yeah you are not wrong, to get the air filter off the 300 its literally unclip the side cover, unclip the clamp that holds it in then it comes straight out, heck you can have the carby off the bike by undoing 4 bolts then loosening 1 screw.
>>14899621
Hopefully I'll be able to block off the mirrors and set up my new "mirror" before then.
>Pic related, plus the socket for my rear wheel
>>14899632
Hope you're ready to break it in, because I have a 60-70 mile twisty circuit. Just took a qt grill down it in the car for shits and giggles.
I was looking at this thinking "what the fuck" since when is the 6 days 450 a DOHC?
then I rolled the little zoomy thing over and had a look.
EVEN THE KTM WEBSITE IS BROKEN
>>14899684
6 days is just a sticker kit, you realise DOCH means double overhead cams right?
>>14899687

where are you going to mount it?
>>14899632
Nice, where in the city are you at?
>>14899700
Romeoville, SW burbs.
>>14899684
It appears that all of the Six days pictures are actually of the 350, which is DOHC
>>14899697
I don't know how I can make it more obvious, the picture KTM use for the 6 days 450 is actually a 250, hence why i was confused at seeing a DOHC cylinder head.
I suppose I am a nobike for noticing that, thankyou for continuing to demonstrate my belief that the term nobike is cancer.
>>14899707
What's a better option? An older GoPro 2 or 3, or a brand new Faux Pro?
>>14899719
Please stop. You're embarrassing yourself anon
>>14899720
Also, I suck at color correction.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w45Wdv0LG-0
this video is almost too ridiculous to be real. some mad max shit.
>>14899700
>where are you going to mount it?
Either the plate, or I'll use my welder and some sheet metal to fabricate a mount and bolt it down to two holes that are underneath the tail of my bike for no apparent reason. That way it looks tidy but I still get rear view functionality. Besides, I'm used to turning my head anyway since the OE mirrors do fuckall.

Oh shit my loop goes right by it.
>>14899755
On the top yoke. I'll use a heat gun to take off that cellphone mount since I never use it. It was just there and I never really bothered with it.
Whole screen is waterproof so I don't have to worry about that.
>>14899760
Sweet meme bruh
>>14899757
>cum tribute anon
>>14899720
Good question.
I would say a gopro.
Their dynamic range is much better.
Please refrain from dodging and burning so heavily.
Instead of using brushes use gradient overlays.
It looks much more natural.
Your stuff looks bish league with all that aura going on around your bike and objects.
Look up youtube videos about colour correction, especially cinematic stuff.
