Updates to the dbt map when?
How the shit do you ride a wheelie out? I'm popping it up in first around 12k and the front comes up (feels like a lot, but I'm sure its a babby whoolie), then immediately comes down. How am I supposed to ride it out without feeling like I'm gonna loop my baiku?
i've been staring at this for the last hour trying to press the button. i have the money (even though i might end up having to use my credit card once or twice) and people wear these things for 20+ years. it's just hard, /dbt/. it's so much money.

I pop at 3.5k in 1st.
If you can't pop it lower than learn stand ups, that'll allow you to pop it lower.
>>14988209
Why don't you buy a real suit instead of a cruiser cuck meme suit?

>>14988239
brother dont even cum at me with that kinda shit unless ur willin to pop out and show me wut ur made of. hmu brother let's cruise
>>14988242
because i ride an upright bike and my ricky racer days are behind me. that suit can be put on and taken off over your street clothes without even having to take your shoes off, as well as being completely watertight and compact enough to store in a saddlebag. i've been lusting after them for over 10 years now.

You want to chase wheelies longer, pop lower/slower or learn to change gears, not much else to say.
>>14988315
Still pretty cool m8
>>14988322
You didn't say nothing about loadin the forks like that.

Too bad bmw killed him.

Thanks. I'll post pictures whenever I get the wheels on.
>>14988352
Fuckin BMW man. Should put him on an R1 or an RSV4.
>>14988206
i usually use second gear and pop it at about 35-4500rpm depending on the bike.
first gear is too slow to stabilize properly for me and is too jerky.
though i spend most of my time doing it on my DS bikes ill try to get some decent ones on my vstrom soon
>>14988303
i know it's worth it. i haven't seen a single negative review on the suits in all the years i've been wanting one. it's just hard to press that button, anon. so hard.
>>14988351
it's loading the forks but it's also kicking back down onto the rear passenger footpeg at the same time to take the weight off after
Is it a bad idea to buy your first motorcycle in a city 120 miles away and ride it home? I can't find what I want in town and have no experience besides the msf course on a 200cc.

Does make me feel like buying a set of cones to set up and ride around though.

This is/was my plan but Denver roads are pot-holed and everyone drives 10 over the posted speed. Idk, all the craigslist bikes around here are stolen or overpriced.

I know that feel - my old Ninja was red and purple.
Having a teal and purple stripe scheme is pretty nice.
>>14988516
You could get the super eurobeat in custom colours to match your bike. I don't remember which /osg/ guy is selling them but I'm pretty sure he has a choice of colours for that particular sticker.
>>14988510
I'm sure that makes it a lot easier for the guy. I noticed his fat busa exhausts knocking over a cone in the first video.

Alright price but lots of mods and "altered" title
http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/mcy/5569195291.html
07 with 55 000km pretty high; I'm unsure how long these bikes can go
http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/rds/mcy/5566252809.html
Little bit pricier but 6000km on an 08 seems worth it
http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/mcy/5562607299.html
Comes with race fairings and two sets of wheels. I'd like to learn how to race so this could be a good choice
Not sure guys; budget it 6500 but prices are fucked near me. There was a bone stock 06 zx6r with low k for 5500 but that sold within an hour. I had a 650r for a few years and learned how to ride on an old bored out 250 2 stroke so I know how to ride just unsure on the Yamaha or kawasaki. Selection is scarce and prices are high right now but I don't know how much longer I can go without a bike
>>14988396
things could go wrong, but what you could do is buy it, find a parking lot to re-acquaint yourself with the bike, then ride it home

>>14988590
Sorry im a normie, but i find those adult girls that try to act like cute anime characters and do stuff with carboard and construction paper weird.
>>14988598
I had one for a few years. Red/blk/white. Best color combo. Other than being stupid heavy and huge.. And topping out around 145-150, it's a super comfy bike. I rode from Louisville, KY to Tampa in one day and could still walk afterwards. The reg/rec like to die a lot. And cam chain tensioner. Best to mod it to get rid of the rattle. Very solid bike though.
Look at who I found today.

I'm not gonna buy the one with 55k. I more posted that to show that prices here suck.
If you don't mind me asking why do you say 09? I was ready to buy the 08 with 6000km on it because I'd love a bike with that low of mileage.
>>14988713

>>14988737
>If you don't mind me asking why do you say 09? I was ready to buy the 08 with 6000km on it because I'd love a bike with that low of mileage.
08 should be alright actually. You want the model with YCC-I and when they bumped the midrange. I thought it was 09, but it looks like they did it in 08.
Double check though.
>>14988280
Man, I miss my Husky, but I love my Berg.
The Conti tires were nice on the Husky, but the Pilot Powers on the Berg aren't bad.. had them on a DRZ before.
Should have just swapped the Conti's to the Berg before I sold the Husky.

I used to ride dirtbikes with my step dad back when i was a young teen. I'm taking my MSF course this weekend, and I want to get a drz400 after I pass. How much hooning can you do on a drz compared to a crf125? I don't expect to do 5 foot jumps on it, but is the suspension good enough to do some fast pace trail riding and moderate jumps? It looks to be 120 pounds heavier so it seems like it would be abit harder to hoon about on.
>>14988797
Depends, do you do single trails or more open trails?
drz is fine on open trails but about 30kg too heavy for single trails.
>>14988749
YCC-I? What's that? And the Yamaha are second choices I'm hoping to look at the 636 zx6r that was my first link. I'm wondering about the jumper mod? He said is installed and how I'll do with altered gearing being that it's my first Supersport. Alternatively; would an 08 r6 be pretty comparable to the 09 zx? I've test ridden an older r6 and 636 kawi along with daytona 675 which were great but out of my price range. Really didn't enjoy the gsxr or cbr I've ridden as much
>>14988702
I don't really care about the less then Supersport top speed how did you feel about the handling
Thinking about buying a Yamaha FZ07 for the summer
Thoughts?
>>14988924
it's a big, old as fuck sportbike. its frame is made of spaghetti compared to modern bikes and carries way more weight. it's going to handle like shit.
Not appropriate for viewing by bikes 400cc and smaller.
>>14988930
Would buy for the sound alone.
I test rode an FZ-09, and coming from Supermotos.. the power wasn't very impressive... so I'm sure the FZ-07 feels quite slow.
>>14988930
Why not buy something you'll want for more than the summer

I used to have a Trailblazer head light modulator. It just freaks people out too much. They either tell you something is wrong with your head light, or they slow down of fucking stop in front of you thinking your a cop.

>I'm wondering about the jumper mod? He said is installed and how I'll do with altered gearing being that it's my first Supersport.
Doesn't ring a bell. I wouldn't use different gearing unless you've done it yourself. -1/+2 is pretty common but you should try stock gearing first.

This is the bike with the jumper mod installed. Seems like it's a European ecu map that's loaded into bikes. Just makes me wonder how abused the bike is. Although factory exhaust is really surprising!
I've got a rusty exhaust/muffler. I want to sand the rust off and prime/paint it with high-temp paint. Is this a dumb idea? Will paint block the outside air from cooling it down while riding?
>>14989107
Is it because you have the SM or did they start doing it at a certain year? What year is your DRZ by the way?

>>14989126
Nice. How heavy does that tank make your bike? Have you done the 3x3?
>>14989116
Hotter exhausts work better theoretically. Ever heard of header wrap?
Go for it.
How to stoppie without locking the front? The only thing that happened when I try is the suspension compresses and the tail raises(but doesn't lift off ground). Any harder and the fear sets in...

>>14989262
>why is dbt so anti-ABS?
i didn't understand it for a long time either, but it comes mostly from countries with tiered licensing requirements, many of which require ABS bikes for new motorcyclists. lots of these fuckos ride hard on the brakes to the point where they're enabling the system just for kicks which obviously teaches bad habits.
but most of /dbt/ just hates ABS because it's a meme, and the people who go so far as to actually believe in it really just go from their gut feeling of the meme and walk backwards with the rationalization from there.
there's absolutely nothing wrong with ABS if used properly and responsibly.
>>14989262
riding non abs is more fun. rear tire locking up all day
>>14989262
I'm fine with better systems that have levels like on the higher end bikes, I mean I've never experienced the 3 level ABS on a 1299 but I'm sure it works as advertised.
Cheap systems that intervene too early/any system that cannot be turned off from the menu/handlebar quickly and easily can go suck a dick imo.

>>14989262
ABS on motorcycles is a whole different creature on motorcycles. In perfect conditions, it's great. But roads are rarely in perfect condition. It has to be a smooth surface for a bike to benefit from ABS.
You know, I honestly like the look of Buells.
Is there any way I can swap out the engine and other core components for that of a good bike?
>>14989280
0/10
do you even know what ABS does?
>tfw the like two people in my area that have one of these want 3k+ for them
>>14989293
I think the funny part is the kickstarter weighs less than a starter motor, so he would save weight if he took the electric starter off.
>>14989298
>for that of a good bike?
Nope, you could prabably bolt on a Harley engine, because the Blast engine is just a harley engine with a canceled cylider.
>>14989309
But he won't
>>14989292
fair enough.
maybe ABS in motorcycles has been implemented in primitive ways on motorcycles recently because its newer in that market, thus the difference in opinion between autoheads and motobutts
>>14989308
>God rides a Suzahki
You have a shitty god.
>>14989260
answer in the form of a question, you fuck.
>>14989313
Why would you remove the electric starter on a bike that you use on the street? On a dualsport a kickstart is redundant and yes unnecessary weight
>>14989316
my only experience with ABS bikes is the budget honda ABS system on the CB400SF and CBR500R and it was terrible, it intervenes at probably 70-80% of your total possible braking force (vic cb 400 will back me up here, he has a non ABS and has ridden an ABS version too).
I have 0% doubt I could outbrake that ABS system, 0%.
Locking up the front is not even a very big deal, if you're aware of the possibility it could happen it's very easy to deal with in a straight line.
>>14989326
>Why would you remove the electric starter on a bike that you use on the street?
maybe you're a fucking curmudgeon who prefers kickstarting? thinks electric starters are prone to failure? wants to save weight?
there are tons of reasons.
>>14989326

Kick start is necessary for a dual sport m8 unless you are too weak to kick your bike.

Kickstarter weighs less than an electric starter and isn't redundant if you don't have an electric starter.
Kickstarters are better in pretty much every way than electric starters.

I have an almost 15 year old cheap shit car with primitive ABS and it's pretty ghetto. Eearly ABS effectiveness is more at a "you might still be able to steer" level rather than actually making you stop faster. It can even be worse if the system is too chickenshit on low grip surfaces.
The ABS on say the low end Hondas is from what I've seen pretty similar to that, but I would think that pulsating bullshit would be a lot scarier on a bike where upsetting the balance will drop you on your face.
In general bike electronics are just less developed, anyways. There's still recent street bikes with carbs for fuck's sake.

I never said they didn't, I was only responding to idiots mentioning the very stupid concept of removing e-start from a bike that already has one.

It's not the pulsating that's unnerving. It the "letting go" feeling the ABS gives you as it stops braking altogether on bumpy surfaces.

probably but you clearly don't read the sticky.
>>14989477
Well shit I thought the 250 and 300 series were recommended for beginners with no experience.
>>14989442
>>14989464
Furthermore, 1900 is a lot to pay for a beginner bike. Especially since it's still a carbed bike. Get something like a 500 or even a 650. It'll still be forgiving enough for you to handle but you can actually have some fun and save up for a good quality big-bike without hating your life for the duration of the saving.
>>14989477

I actually sold the FJ to oaklandanon.
>>14989479
god no, don't listen to the faggots like kit kat who ride cuck bikes. just take it easy and you'll be fine. you should still learn to ride on a dirt bike/dual sport however.
>>14989488
they're fine, but a 250 is pretty damn slow. there's nothing you couldn't learn on a bike that is actually comfortable on the highway.
>>14989490
>Fuck you stop giving correct advice.

>>14989497

Lucky cunt. I kinda wish I'd bought a sport-touring bike or something a bit more comfy sometimes, but I don't exactly have much more room for baikus.
Some more gore for you.

Italians know how to work their plastics I guess.
>>14989490
>>14989498
closest thing I've ridden to a dirt bike was a minibike or a quad and I don't feel like either of those count.
Most of the 250's are around the same price on CL here, though I have seen a couple GS500's for less.
>>14989519
If you have any experience on 2 wheels then you should be fine on an FZ6. Take the MSF course beforehand though. The experience there should teach you a bit, but in terms of actual riding it's fine for a beginner.
If you wanna go fast you should get a dirt bike/sumo though.
>>14989519
well don't be a faggot and buy a 250. IF you must buy a street bike buy something like that FZ6, fast enough to not get bored.
Still tho, everyone should learn to ride on dirt.
>>14989506

Stay away from supersports. Aim for UJMs or dirt bikes. If you want to go fast, get a dirtbike. If you wanna go comfy, get a UJM or a sport touring.
>>14989565
that's exactly what I am looking for, brother.
>>14989569

This is an imposter.
Also that SV should go for about $1900. I suggest that one.
>>14989529
yeah, MSF fist for sure.
I don't really have a good place to use a dirt bike. My family has a cabin but I don't make it up there often.
Are the 500cc bikes the cutoff between the docile bikes and more serious?
I just went to make a caffeine and niggoteeine run and some yellow Kia box car cuts me off by 2 foot merging. Turns out we both stopped 4 blocks up at the same convenience store. I pull next to him and ask if he drunk, I'm still pretty pissed but calm. Fucking green haired kid totally disarmed me. He was apologetic and shit. I thanked him for at least using his turn signal at the last minute. It gave me probably a another foot to react.

>I don't really have a good place to use a dirt bike
The point of having a dirt bike is so you can do skids and wheelies and shit without worrying about scratching up all those nice plastics and denting up that nice shaped gas tank and breaking all that shit looping out. If you want to go fast, dirt bikes are literally the best way to start.
>are the 500cc bikes the cutoff
Not really. It depends more on what the bikes are made for. There's bikes that are 1300ccs and slower in a straight line than 600cc bikes. It depends on the bikes purpose. supersports are obviously much more touchy and powerful than a touring bike, which is meant to have a more docile powerband and be easy to putt around on. It's just up to preference and what you want to do on 2 wheels. Some of us like to cruise, some of us like to go fast, and some of us like to hit trails.
>>14989298
Just get one of the non blast Buells. They are actually good bikes.
>>14989600

>>14989635
I want one of those so bad it is physically painful
>>14989675
>implying touring is a mutually exclusive term
the ultra is a cruiser but the goldwing is almost a standard.
>>14989673
Anything can be an adventure bike if you put a safari tank on it.
>>14989682
You had an adventure in your backyard Abernathy.
>>14989657
They honestly are absolutely amazing city & <110mph bikes. I don't think I will ever sell this thing, if I do it will be replaced with a lower mileage example. There is something about an air cooled 1200cc shaking you to death while keeping up with big bikes that is exhilarating. Short gears also means lots of shifting which is entertaining itself.
>>14989662
I'm afraid you've got me confused with someone else. I've ridden plenty of harleys. FLHXs are cruisers.
>>14989675
See above, they aren't. They are a cruiser with a fairing and stereo.
>>14989696
And 2+2 can equal 7, if you feel good about it.
>>14989465

Iost one at the auction for $600, it didnt start (probably the battery) and the kickstand was bent.
>>14989699
Sounds pretty fun.
>>14989688
The Ultra is a touring bike. It's not subjective.
>>14989664
600+ sporty looking bikes are generally supersports. As far as naked bikes go they're all basically set up to do the same thing and handle in a generally forgiving manner. The only difference there for displacement is just the amount of power they throw down.
>>14989711
Fuck off cuck!

Maybe in the 70s and early 80s.
The CTX1300 might be a standard, but I think that's a tourer even

It's not all about motorcycle points. An SV650 has 50 more motorcycle points than an R6, but my money in a race is on the R6.
>>14989633
Just a reminder that Terminator is a million times cooler than Power Rangers.
>>14989727
Get the XB12. You can get it in the SCG (XB9 size frame) if you want small. XB9 is pretty weak.
The Buell 1200CC thunderstorm is plenty fast. Under 110mph you will pull on 600cc bikes and keep up with liter bikes (less the crazy new stuff). Above those speeds obviously it falls on its face. Trust me kit kat, you would be entertained for a few years. Shit is pretty much bulletproof too
>>14989719
>>14989731
I can't believe we're having this argument again.
>>14989731
for one, I never knew that bike exists. that thing kicks ass.
but tourer is not a mutually exclusive term. a cruiser is determined by seating position and foot position.
>>14989722
No they arent... 650's are not even close to being supersports.
>>14989713
Iktf.
>tfw can't just spend all day ridan offroad and tryng to make a fire with wet firewood
>>14989765
>Get the XB12
>Not 1125CR
>>14989781
The 1125 is larger (size of my XB12SS extendend frame/swingarm) and they are rife with problems (09+ electrical hell) and are not low maintenance like the XB series (hydraulic lifters, etc.)
I've toyed around the idea of buying one but I've decided buying a liter bike is a better use of funds. While any hole in the wall harley shop can fix the early buells the rotax is another story. Still cool bikes and way faster than the XBs (gsxr 750 power) but they lose so much character it kinda kills it for me.
>>14989781
But I will say I have the ZTL2 front caliper and the 1125CR clubman bars so I am splitting the difference. The rotax is just not as endearing imo.
just signed up for my license, in the process of assembling some gear now.
I'd like a helmet with integrated speakers, either via bluetooth or aux so that I can listen to some music while riding.
Anyone know any good helmets like that?
>>14990470
schuberth c3 pro?
>>14990505
seems good, but is there something more affordable?
That helmet with the audio set would cost aroun 900 bucks, that seems a bit high.
Don't a microphone either, just the speakers.
>>14990551
it would be easier and cheaper to buy a helmet and bluetooth separately.
Schubert c3 pro is probably the quietest front flip helmet on the market, thats why I mentioned it
my mate uses cheap 25GBP bluetooth bought from ebay, and he's happy with it
>>14989490
how much should one pay for a beginner bike?
I was looking at a gs500 listed for 1800. might try to offer less - maybe 1500?
is that still too much for a first bike?
>>14990687
This I bought a sena smh5 for fairly cheap and it works well with music, nav and talking to my riding buddies.
>>14991013
Since you're more prone to crashing it or dropping it, your budget should be however much you have saved after 3 months of work.
>>14989444
Im pretty sure the Jb Weld i slapped on my stator cover is stronger than the actual cover itself. I should just coat the whole fucking thing to prevent any damage.
