Why is the Bakuon anime being so soft on Ducati when the manga roasted them every five seconds?
>>14980708
Because ducati gives them money to make the anime
Can a 125cc dualsport reach 60mph reasonably?
street performance differences between 125, 200/250, 450, 650 dualsports?

What is this. Never heard of
>>14980718
125 is illegal on freeways in the US for a reason
125 is trash for everything
250 is good for sustained 50-55mph without thrashing itself too bad.
350-450 is good for pretty much any roadways
650 bikes are usually old proven design tractors of engines and just go for years without a second glance
>>14980735
beyond trash, only good for chocking truck wheels if hobos are unavailable
>>14980735
Don't fall for it

Who knows? I switched into the right lane and she gassed it, only to immediately be stopped by a red light. Pulled up way past the line. Starts honking at me, flipping me off, etc.
I was having fun beeping back at her.
>>14980736
Pretty accurate, with some caveats. There are a a couple 650cc~ singles and parallel twins that lack pull at 80 though, so you're still wanting for passing power on some highways.

My computer is being a fuccboi, heres a muted webm for now.
I'd rather be a cack-eyed awkward knob than you
For all your perfect teeth and hand jobs
I'd rather be the silently resentful weird one
Than the back-slapped, chest-poking, young gun
For every moment you've had of adolescent bliss
I've spent ten regretting everything I've missed
For every stroke, every goal, every glance and kiss
There were blows, failure, mockery and less
Yet I'd rather be me
You preening dumb tool
You vacuous, confident, ignorant, poor dumb tool
Who wants to be me? No one
You? They sell magazines with how-to guides
People shell out money, jog, get surgery but mainly just dream of the day
They will be more like you
Grass green, never greener, grows over the fence between us
Penis length I am sure is in your favour
Your penis, in fact, is the hero of the this and every other hour
And can access all orifice, stink box, blurter and growler
They didn't break the mould when they made you, mate
That mould was mass produced
Does it grate, that on every corner and every bar, there's you
You have never said one thing completely new
Not thought, one thought not thought before
You Cleo mag, Channel V as seen on TV bore
You school kids' idea of bliss
You teen idol
Package, Construct, Robot, Product, Lackey, Baggage
I'd would rather be me, despite my self-disappointment
I'd would rather be me, because of that disappointment
I'd would rather be me unknown, weak, bent and poor
I'd would rather be me with every mistake and flaw
I'd would rather be me because in the whole universe of us
In the galaxies of people, in the glowing incalculable nimbus
You provide the great system with naught
Whilst from afar, burning, lonely and nearly invisible
I, a star

>>14981118
I still love you
>>14981054
That was pretty funny at the end there.
>>14981054
it looks like you just started revving and honking at her for no reason.
Literally why.
You seem madder than her.
>>14981141
He passed by her in the left lane, then she sped up and passed by him just to hit the red light. She clearly had a problem with him before he revved her.
>>14981141
As soon as I changed lanes she accelerated, likely to stop me from getting in front. Then she encounters the red light and pulls way over the line in annoyance. I wasn't aware revving playfully was considered aggressive. I was playing around until I realized she was legitimately buttblasted.
>>14981157
Wow that doesn't look like anything on video, all it does it make me look like an asshat. Stupid wide fov.
>>14981157
>turbonig
Kek. You're alright, anon.
>>14981157
are you the ducati friend?
>>14981171
<3
>>14981179
Yes.
>>14981157
there just isn't an issue until you made one.
You pull up, look her in the eye and rev your bike, then when she beeps her horn you start saying "what'd I do" when you are the one initiating it.
You need to learn to let go.
Remember that time R6 anon fought gollum?
>>14981185
That guy actually posted here?
>>14981191
yes he was a right shitposter too
>>14981185
She was clearly agitated just by me going to pass her. I guess changing lanes and looking at someone counts as instigating. R6 anon won that battle.
Is an old lady going to try to fight me? lol
>>14981191
No.
>>14981157
Reving at cars is a sign of intimidation you idiot.
>>14981185
I miss that guy. He got a bit of money from that video, I wonder what happened to him
>>14981204
>Is an old lady going to try to fight me? lol
Ya never, know. Be sure to post it on youtube if it happens though. For added luls run away before the cops show up and say "Snowcat, out!" right at the end of the video.

>Is an old lady going to try to fight me? lol
She could shoot you tbqh
>>14981214
Ah cool, guess mashing the accelerator as soon as you notice someone is going to pass you and glaring at them when they pull up next to you is completely innocent.
Impossible to please everyone it seems :)
I was planning to race her when the light turned green, thats why I revved. She clearly thought her car was faster.
>>14981219
Then I'll try to fuck with the electrical system on my hyper and break it three times and then blame the brand, just for good measure. Good idea anon, I'll remember that.
>>14981226
Shoot me for what? Pulling up next to her? That would be the most well documented murder in history.
>>14981236
>follows you to remote area
>>14981236
I don't care what she was doing, when you rev at cars it's an intimidation tactic.
do you guys call cocaine "bag"? or is that a Virginia thing
>>14981204
>She was clearly agitated just by me going to pass her.
yeah that's what car drivers do, there's no reason to get butthurt over it, she might not fight you but she's in a big car and you're on a bike. If she's a crackhead and decides to ram you you're FUCKED and I'm sure you've seen videos of butthurt car drivers doing it before.
Just let go, no ego while riding, nothing to bruise and get butthurt over. You're dwelling so much on her just accelerating even now it makes no sense.
She was probably just hoping to catch the yellow light anyway which is making this shit even more bizarre to me.
>>14981236
chronologically you were actually staring at her first.
Then later you follow her into a car park and make some weird gay gesture at her.
I literally don't understand how you can see yourself on the righteous side of this because you just come off like an idiot to me.
>>14981280
A bag is a measurement of marijuana here.
>>14981157

I call it bag because I dont like admitting that "hey guys do you want to do some cocaine? some illegal cocaine?" it just sounds weird to me

>weird gay gesture
>waving is a weird gay gesture
lol
I know I can't please everyone, so if you want to get offended by a video go right ahead. Everything you say is right and I am wrong, you were totally there on the back of my bike and know everything that happened like you yourself experienced it, I could in no way shape or form have a better understanding of what happened than someone who was actually there.

Where exactly did I get off my bike and kick her mirror off/smash windows oui/slash tires? All I saw was some honking and revving and then disclosing the fact that I was recording due to washington being a two party consent state.
99% of the time I gas it and peace out away fromfucknuts, but today I had a camer and the situation was ideal. I'm sure you never do things you regret or know you shouldn't have, no siree.

I'm concerned. If that o-ring gives out, I'm not gonna have a good day. Just so I nip this problem in the bud, is there an o-ring that'll actually fit on an EX-250F's oil filter plate?

thats my little brother's room
that isnt a nightstand, its just on the floor
art is 4plebs, i have posters and stuff up tho
Okay boys. Just bought a 1980 CM400T. have a chance to trade it and some tires I have for a 95 1100 GSXR. Good deal? honda has 9000miles on it and had a bunch repainted and redone on it. GSXR is around 19k iirc and he says it pops out of second(think its the clutch, just skips 2nd and goes to 3rd). Estimated value of both?
pic is what bike looks like but more naked
>>14981568
>posters
oh man is this is a joke or what
and tell your brother to stop living in poverty and get a proper fucking nightstand, not some wire basket shelving he stole from a convenience store that was used to display chips
>>14981580
Personally, I wouldn't if the GSXR is all fuckey.
>>14981580
don't do it if the clutch is fucked. if it slipped, that's different
>>14981580
>1995 GSXR
lol how about no, keep saving until you can buy something that won't bankrupt you
>>14980665
XR 400 is master shitbike
>>14981555
Speaking of art I've been meaning to post this on /dbt/ for a while. My parents friend painted it for them years ago and it's hanging in my moms house, one day I might steal it.
>>14981580
wew lad, that's an ugly bike.
>>14981624
>one day I might steal it
And nothing of value would be lost. That is one ugly fuckin painting, it looks like some pleb airbrushed it on.
>>14981580
It's not the clutch that's fucked on the GSXR, it's the gearbox.
Second gear is probably stripped from too much flat/clutchless shifting at full throttle.
VINs been verified. Almost a legalbike. Just a few more steps and playes should be here. Spark plug boots all arrived too, just have to assemble them onto the ignition coils and pray she'll start.
Do any of yall have radar detectors on your bike?

What is /o/'s opinion on a 2012 Hyosung GT650R? Thinking about getting one but can't find much research for the USA model. Are South Korean bikes any good?
>>14981800
>hyosung
>>14981800
Don't buy a Hyosung.
>>14981800
its an ok bike, based off of the suzuki sv650. you could find a 2003+ sv650 for less though, and will have a better bike.
>>14981054
You are confirmed for retard
>>14981800
Buying one is a 50/50 coin flip, you'll either get a shitpile that never works or a working but pretty shit bike for mad cheap.
>>14981472
That's there for your helmet, not your seat.
Ghetto license plate relocation is complete, except for the wiring.
>>14981843
My seat has a clip on it that directly attaches to the thing. I'm pretty certain it's for my seat.
what kind of skin damage would someone expect on their legs with a ~30mph tip over without wearing protection?
>>14981882
You'd probably get some pretty sick burns from everyone here.
>>14981869
that is that you can loop a d ring through there to hold a helmet.
the seat getting stuck is a byproduct
>>14981820
>>14981822
>>14981826
>>14981836
Thanks for the input. Guy who's selling it has it in tip top shape for 2k. It would be worth the look no?
>>14981914
I guess I'll try to clip my helmet on there. But I'm only trusting you because we basically have the same bike.
faggot.
>>14981916
Its on the better end of the year models, but I still wouldnt trust it.
>>14981800
Hit an miss, you might have no problems with it or you have heaps.
They're made of components with short lifespans so if you're planning on keeping a bike for a while I'd look elsewhere.
They're heavier and less powerful than their competition and the suspension isn't as good either.
I wouldn't buy one unless it was brand new, that way you've got some semblance of warranty for if/when it goes pear-shaped.
SV650's are pretty cheap in the states, get one of those instead. Much better package overall and way more reliable as well.
Would not recommend/10
>>14981869
Is for your helmet.does your seat open or something, because that is a100%standard helmet lock
1984 Honda Nighthawk 650SC

-No speedo, no fuel/gear gauge, no horn
-Otherwise well maintained, looks clean af
VS

-Torn seat
-also mechanically sound
Which is butter for commutes erreday and some funfun on the offdays? Got some scenc and curve around here for sure.
I piss in helmets that are stored on bikes.
>>14981946
Shadow sounds less dodgy.
If there's curves involved, get a standard. Cruisers can't lean for shit.
>>14981944
Seat comes off and has a small tool kit underneath it.
>>14981869
Wow. I thought the post was bait, but now I see you're serious.
The seat lock is there to keep your seat on, yes, but not to prevent seat theft. You'd have to be a full on nigger to want to steal a fucking bike seat.
Under your seat will either be a space for storage, or it will give you access to things like your battery or any other intricacies of you bike (expose some screws to remove your gas tank, perhaps?).
You must be new to the world of bikes. Spend some time getting to know your bike and don't be afraid of unscrewing stuff to see what's going on!
>>14981916
i know a guy who made a gt250r into a really badass bike. he did spend like 3 times the bike's value on shit for it, but it wound up being really cool. only cool hyo i have seen
>>14981946
Buy both fgt.
>>14981946

oh I'm not stupid enough I'm just trying to win an argument with someone and figured you guys would have some videos or pictures, I can't seem to find anything with low speed accidents.
>Oreillys LED lights
>>14981959
I just don't see the point of the thing. The seat locks into place, and this requires my bike's key to open.
>>14981985
30mph is plenty fast enough to fuck you up without gear. Whoever you're arguing with is an idiot.
>>14981958
So the helmet lock doubles to keep your wrenches under the seat. Mystery solved
>>14981986
>Buying overpriced Gookland LEDs
Least if you're gonna buy shit, buy it for the super cheap prices the same things go for on eBay.

Imo you should be able to get a reasonable condition first or second gen SV650 for ~$2k, surely?
Do some googling to find out more about Hyo's, get yourself educated before you go look at it. Find out what the major things that go wrong with them are, what to look for etc.

Pick one.
All bikes lean, not all bikes lean equally.
>>14982014
Who taught you to ride with your high beams on? I get trying to be visible, but you're just going to blind oncoming traffic.
>>14982033
He meant during the day, obviously.
>>14981989
I'm pretty sure it's to keep someone from stealing your battery or whatever is stored under your seat, rather than the seat itself.
>>14982033
I ride pretty much 70% of the time during the day so the extra brightness is for visibility, exactly.
I was taught by my dad when I was 14 on my first bike to always ride with high beam on, and it was reinforced by MSF instructors and pretty much everyone I've ever ridden with. I seriously don't think I've ever met anyone who DOESN'T always have high beam on [unless at night obv]
>>14982033
Not the tripfag, but I've been told that by people and seen other riders do so since even though they may blind traffic (which when I drive my car I fucking hate) they make others aware of them. I get what people say when they mention this, but there's better ways of going about it like upgraded lighting/more lights.
>>14982030
>All bikes lean, not all bikes lean equally.

A ninja250 cannot use all of it rear tire, unlike a GS500 that can. Same tire size just GS500 has better geometry.
>>14982019
We said the exact same thing. It's a helmet lock regardless of what other function it has or what anybody calls it.

Still stupid. I hate fuckwit bikers like you.
>>14982003
they were free so its whatever, i just need to find something a little more resistant to vibrations
>>14982054
But you didn't say the same thing at all. It's like you can't even read.
>>14982030
FXDB? FXanything for that matter, pretty much. Drag peg, wheelies, butt-slappin' sound. Tight ass u-turns as well. I've witnessed first hand.

>>14982049
Never ride with high on, at least never did. Going to make a point doing that now.
>>14982060
When's the last time you got blinded by a oncoming motorcycle during broad daylight? Do you live in perpetual twilight in Norway or something?
>>14982051
>>14982049
Always ridden on low, only time I'll turn on brights is at night when the road is completely clear. I've never seen brights bright enough that they even look more noticeable during the day.
>>14982053
Here's your (You).
Go force your shitty memes on r/Motorcycles or something.
do you guys prefer bikes with ABS or without?
>>14982053
And using all your tire is the only way to meme, despite having little to do with how good you actually are.
>>14982077
It is blinding even buring the day. Its irritating as fuck. Same shit when a car does it.
Only fuckheads ride with highbeam on.
>>14982064
You got me, I'm illiterate.
>>14982083
Whats that? You seem to know. Stay there next time.
Speaking of lights, how easy would it be to add a light cut-off switch to a bike? I like the idea of being able to go dark to escape the popo.
>>14982086
With unless your an idiot newb,or just an idiot
>>14982087
To meme is to dream, anon.
>>14982072
It's not hard to drag peg on a cruiser, part of what makes a cruiser comfortable is the fact they have low floorboards.
Cruiser are about form > function, which is fine if you don't care for performance.
>>14982096
Why don't you, Anon? You'd fit right in.
>>14982064
Yeah that guys a fucktard.
Helmet lock is not confirmed. Helmet locks are not standard, but a seat lock to keep your seat on is almost definitely standard. I've never heard of a road bike without a seat lock.
>>14982095
I'm sorry. I'm just being aggressive because of girl troubles. I hope you have a great ride anon. I'm going to go ride my stress away.
>>14982088
Related, it's you hiding from my "blinding" light
>>14982115
Nah. Trying to sheild myself from your faggotry.
I should have the speed painted Imperial Purple
>>14982111
>form > function
>don't care for performance
eh
as i said before, dyna
otherwise yeh
>>14982132
Don't be so bitter, nobike friend.
>>14982137
Do it, that purple is divine.
>>14982137
>tfw your bike is too close to factory perfect to modify but too beat up to completely restore
>>14982147
My IBU is over 9000
I read the stickied guide on weebly and I'm trying to decide which bike to get as my first one. I want the bike to be as quiet as possible even if that means getting aftermarket parts. Which beginner friendly bike would you guys recommend that is as quiet as a motorcycle can be?
>>14982152
So buy another bike and do as you wish
>>14982151
If there's one thing I miss about the striple it's the color
>>14982170
I ride an early 80's UJM for a reason. I'm not exactly flush with cash.
![20160503_202920[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/IEYeWc2.jpg "20160503_202920[1].jpg")
was removing these things from my old windscreen to put my new tinted one on. I took them out ok but holy fucking moly it is impossible to get them back in.
The slot they go into is angled and recessed, its fucking retardedly difficult. I was using a tiny flathead screwdriver and almost got it at one point but it stabbed through the rubber. After that it was all over, every attempt further fucked it up and eventually separated a piece.
It seemed like if the top part is just removed completely i can still just thread the screw through and have no issues, will it cause it to be loose or rattle or something?
>>14982170
Is that purple a factory color?
>>14982100
No. It's really fucking complex, I mean if you can't even wire a fucking two prong switch actually doing anything is probably beyond you.
>>14982165
Ninja 250 with stock exhaust is whisper quiet
>>14982182
It'll most likely rattle, those work to dampen vibrations between pieces
>>14982186
I forgot that most people were natural born electricians. My bad.
>>14982183
Yes, 2012 only on non-R Street Triples. Imperial Purple was factory code KF
>>14982175
iktf
>yfw replacing it with a slightly faster other 80's UJM
has anyone ever ridden a CB900 custom?
>>14982190
why was it so fucking hard to replace, what is the proper way to do it? i couldnt find any videos or anything where the guy said anything more than "i was rough with it and it eventually popped in"
also fuck where can i get a replacement?
>>14982204
Remove windscreen, remove fairings, fuck it all.
>>14982209
you arent funny, clever, or helping you little shit
>>14982165
Most bikes are pretty quiet with the factory exhaust, aftermarket exhausts will only make it louder.
Any four-stroke single or twin up to 650 or so cc should make for a fine bike. There are a few four cylinder bikes that are good as well (FZ6R, for instance) so I guess as long as you stay under 80~ish hp you should be fairly fine.
>>14982204
The way I've always done it was to heat the rubber pieces a bit so they contract, then use a flat screwdriver with pencil eraser or similar over it to poke it into place without stabbing through.
What kind of bike?
>>14982201
No. But i have rode your mum, fagget!
>>14982214
If you can't even fucking figure out how to attach a windscreen you're already helpless. Maybe try using some fucking common sense. You took the shit off yourself in the first place if you're too fucking stupid to pay attention while you're doing it it's your own fault. Hope the skid demon gets you faggot.
>>14982220
ill try applying heat to the other one i suppose
ninja 250
do you guys wear safety gear other than a helmet and gloves?
>>14982220
>heat the rubber pieces a bit so they contract
Tripfags are this stupid.
>>14982190
>>14982217
fantastic, thank you guys for the advice.
>>14982224
dont be rude cuhcuh
>>14982231
Not really unless winter.
>>14982224
>removing things are ALWAYS EXACTLY THE SAME as putting them on
ok faggot
>>14982231
if I am going to hit the tooj, sure, otherwise not really. or if it is really cool out.
>>14982170
You sold the Striple? NOOOOO
>>14982231
no

I don't know the year but you can play around with it.
buying shoei
do metallic / matte black look retarded?
>>14982245
When you google something and no one else has had the problem it's because you're literally the dumbest person to ever deal with the issue. You're dealing with potentially the most simple parts possible. Do you just shit yourself when you see a washer or a bolt?
>>14982231
I only wear a helmet
gear if I plan on getting real /hektik/
>>14981597
He says it pops out of gear
>>14981603
are they money pits?
>>14982269
get white.
>tfw no qwest
>>14982270
you literally dont even know what my problem is. I know what i am supposed to do but it is difficult to do so. I am looking for alternatives and advice.
just stop getting so angry
>>14982269
They can if you wear mismatched gear, like a retard. All black is OG.
>>14981626
I like it ust fine. Gutless, but sounds nice and runs good. Handles amazing
>>14982244
>>14982247
>>14982257
>>14982284
do you bully people that do?
>>14982305
Seems like a fine bike, just not my style. Too close to a cruiser for me.
>>14982196
Splice into relevant fuses, use DPST switch, done
>>14982314
I don't give a fuck what you do with your life bruv
>>14982250
Yes, back in July I trade it in for a Speed.
>>14982317
Its like a brat (bobber) atm. First bike, so riding around town its pretty sweet desu
>>14982314
I only give shit to people who wear stupid footwear while riding. I don't know how many idiots I've seen in flip flops or slip-ons near little five points.
What I usually wear to work in picture.
>>14982289
why do you want a qwest anon
>>14982338
café racer eh
>>14982343
because they look cool, and from my friend that had one found it to be very comfortable and quiet.
>>14982327
Oh I think I remember seeing your speed now. It's white, right?
>>14982314
Nope. I tell people they should wear gear while I don't
>>14982293
Heating the larger ring may help,as cooling the smaller.
Alternatively dish soap as lube.
Use carpenter clamps to put even pressure all around, or a single clamp distributed from middle working edges down to keep it from binding.
Idk if these even apply, I can't be assed to go back to actually read you problem.
>>14982349
Yeah. Its a 400 and doesnt have more potential for anything besides cafe/bobber/brat so I'm just gonna keep it as a brat. Pic is the bike
