If I had the wealth of Bill Gates I still wouldn't buy an Indian.
>>14998869
Sure, honey.
>>14998870
You sound like an angry child :)
Have you rode one, or are you just close minded because you're not smart
Damn, Indiananon sure is actin like a lil bitch right off the bat
is there a way to have rider to rider communication?
All I can find are bluetooth sets for rider-passenger bullshits
>>14998921
;) I'm not indian anon. Doesn't he have a white one or something?
But thanks for thinking I have that kind of money

Real question is which one are we!
>>14998946
That's why weaving and lanesplitting tag teaming is paramount to the training of a proper motorcyclist.

I actually was at my Fahrlehrer heute, but the fucks had closed already
I was so close to doing it but it fucked up.
and I still don't know what bike I'd want
>>14998924
How about a walkie talkie? That's how my instructor kept in contact with me when we went out on road rides. Range is limited but they do work.
>>14998968
Are you a nigger or having a stroke?
Whitewall tires and chinese windshield are my last purchases.
>>14998975
PA here. There's a Harley factory outside of York city.
(not New York city fags)
>>14998982
That's how KoOl guys in India type.
>>14998978
Obviously I mean multiple walkie talkies... you need one each. And a handlebar mounted push to talk button. And ear pieces.
>>14998978
>>14998989
Yes I was looking around, some headsets have an aux port which could connect to a two way radio, which should have a longer range than bluetooth
Now that you mention it thou, there wouldn't be any need for one of those fancy headsets either, just speaker and mic for the radio
>>14998986
The important thing is harley is a waste of money.
>>14998988
So nigger, gotcha
Ah yes, time to bring my bike out and charge the battery because I'm too cheap to buy a tender
Can't wait to ride again, there's so much I want to do to my bike

Who's going to the SAM? I'm hoping to go and I'm planning on taking my camera with me to get shots of people. Wanted to know if anyone would be interested in that
Thoughts on wearing a dualsport helmet but riding a supersport??
Dualsport helmets just seem so badass imo
>>14999024
Lol. No

you're looking for naked bikes now, right?
why don't you go the Bananapete way and buy this? (or is it the 400 he bought? I don't know)

Where is it this year, way out East right?
I can't make it this round (would have been my first), but we should try for something mostly central next time.
Colorado has some good roads

I doubt anyone would be unhappy about getting good photos of themselves and their bikes. As long as you don't post face pics on 4chan that is...
>>14999028
Fine but it will be extra noisy and the peak&beak will get caught by wind at higher speeds.
>>14998986
The bikes are assembled in PA, the motors are assembled in Milwaukee, the parts come from god only knows where.
>>14999042
Because it's their money and they can do what they want.
Crying about it on the fourchinz won't change that.
>>14999042
Doesn't want to get the shiny chrome dirty. Harleys are for looking at and listening to, not riding.
>>14999030
Don't worry, I can photo shop your chicken strips out for you
>>14999045
It'd be with helmets on, no faces.
>>14999051
>Because it's their money and they can do what they want.
Sure
still fucking retarded to sell two classics for something he barely uses.
>>14999045
Any recommendations on a good site to buy helmets?
>>14999053
I'm not hanging out with anyone from here. I wouldn't even talk to any of you autistic try hards irl

>>14998924
Yes most Bluetooth headsets work well for rider to rider. I use a sena smh5 and you can use the pairing system or just call each other using your phone if you need more distance. The smh10 has a lot more distance but me and my buddies don't really seem to need it.
>>14999060

dbt should i apply for a job at the Sunoco refinery in Philly?
>>14999078
The baka 5 is the cheapest and it's like half a mile for the intercom system before you can't understand them much. If we are gonna be a ways apart we just get a phone call going, the phone calls are a little delayed, slightly less quality and dependant on phone signal
>>14999076
Shouldn't you be sitting on your trip or something?
>>14999073
To bad I don't ride a cuckmachiene
Hello dbt I am looking to get into the bike world. Random question everything in my area CL all seem to have powercommander mods. Can anyone tell me is that pretty much the same thing as a cobb accessport?
>>14999068
it appears the smh10 advertise 900m but gets something close to 500
the sena 20s is advertised at 2km but it's 480 a pair
it seems a cheap radio has 30km and is less than 50 for the pair, with an headset kit for 30 bucks. Although it's not full duplex
>>14999108
It's like a turbo and makes you do dank Willies better

My cowokers own harleys....roadkings, softtails, streetglides, and a couple of lowriders and they ride everyday. I dont know where this harleys arent reliable bullshit comesfrom, it could be these nobikes think sportbikes are more superior over any other bike.
Daily reminder that dirt bikes are for children and poor people

That's a woman's bike

What is it like to ride a Honda Valkyrie?
Are they fast since they have 6 cylinders?
>>14999062

>>14999130
They're probably unreliable from all the problems they have.
>>14999135
It's like a naked GW. A lot lighter and maneuverable. Good bike, new ones are just ugly to me

Heppy birfdey bimmer anon.
Well, having figured out wheelies I've set my sights on the other side of the coin. Current record: like one second of stoppie after half hour practice, with two crashes and a bent handlebar to show for it.
Crashing I've got down, and I graciously dodge roll like I'm in dark souls.
Fortunately, baiku is alright because I was doing it on my bicycle.
I haven't touched my baiku in two weeks now, I've got finals to work on
I'm going to buy a brand new MT-09 / FZ-09 next week. Which mods do you suggest for it?
I guess I'll start with the full system akrapovis exhaust after the break-in period.

Just use Gatorade.

>>14999263
Just milk yourself.
>>14999260
See, I'm way better at getting "it" up than getting the ass up in the air. Maybe girls and fags are better at stoppies for that reason.
Oh and happy birbday bimmeranon

>doesn't get out of the way of cars
does she know what filtering means? It's your duty to make sure you are not in the way of anyone if you filter. If you can't do this stay in your fucking place.
>>14999259
I suggest a speed triple so you can roughly replace 100% of the parts of the MT

>stopped in traffic at lights

Yeah, no. You would have a point if it was moving traffic but it wasn't.
>>14999301
You can see from her shadow that she literally rocks into the car because she didn't get moving fast enough
>>14999110
My smh10 reliably gets 900 meters. Tried it at 1300 once and that worked too. There are a whole bunch of factors that influence this though. The one thing that blows is that it cannot penetrate obstacles. If your buddy is around the corner in a wooded area you're going to lose connection

I don't have a photo of sister on hand at the moment.
>>14999323
She was stopped in a traffic queue, the cars in front of her were stopped, the car behind her was stopped. The autism case in the car behind her didn't like the fact that a girl got close to him, so he went full on /r9k/ beta uprising and inched forward until he bumped her bike.
>>14999038
thought about the bandit 600
was actually looking for something without the typical round headlight and two Instrumente über it with eckige blinkers
but the z750 is either with 30k+ km so I and the ER 6N isn't carbed so no pew pew, that's why it's so hard to find one that i really like
>>14999361

He probably thought it was a dude and then went full spaghetti when he realised he just tried to run some pathetic woman off the road.
>>14999360
those aren't bad at all, anon. don't get caught up in meme image. what's important is fit. if the shit doesn't fit that well, its worse than good gear that doesn't in a slide.

Literally moving less than half a second after the car in front moves.
>>150000000

>>14999345
>>14999361
If you filter you filter all the way to the front and take off, nowhere to be seen. You don't filter to second place because of that fucking reason.
If you filter in front even if someone wants to run you over they simply can't.
>>14999360
Icon gloves aren't bad as long as they have subtle logo branding. I like mine because you can't tell they're fucking Icons.
Hopefully your jacket isn't plastered with them. Could do a lot better in the boot department though, those look more like work boots than bike boots.
What bike you riding? And where are you from if you're close enough to drive to California?
>>14999377
WR 125
>>14999380
Filtering to the front of the que is optimal but if you don't think you'll make it before the lights change or whatever you can slip in somewhere else.
You can argue all you like but it's obvious the guy in the car was being a cunt because she was 'skipping the que'. He literally says "because you cut in front" was his reason for breaking the law and hitting the rider with his car.
>>14999368
I kinda indecently did get caught up in the meme image. They had just about every size of A* and Dianese and it was either too small or too large, and they would slide around quite a bit on my person. The Anthem 2 jacket fit nice and snug where the armor inserts weren't moving at all unless I was moving with them. If I got caught up in the dudebro stunter meme image, that's cool with me, all the gear seems to fit as it should.
>>14999370
Eh, I think I'll start on a 250-500 first before I hop in a Gixxer to do dank wheelies down the Interstate and eventually into the back of a semi.
Also I'm more of a Yamaha/Honda fan anyway.

>Why a carbed bike and why not a sv650n? Or a Honda hornet 600?
why are you asking me these questions?
>hornet 600
yes
>>14999385
I bought these little guys right here, paid about $60 for them after getting a solid percentage knocked off. The Anthem 2 jacket I have on order is COVERED in the "I totally wish I was a stunter but I'm too inbred to have the coordination to cover the rear brake and control the throttle during a wheelie" icon branding.
But like I said, image isn't important to me, the jacket fit nice and well and that's what mattered.

how are you liking it?
I want to test ride one for a vlog.
What can you tell me about it?
>>14999438
Those look like the perforated Verizon of the gloves I have. They fit really fucking nice, though I need to replace them since some leather has gotten pretty worn down and thin on the left thumb (I've had em for years).
Also, only those stupid insecure about their image while riding give a shit about what gear you have on. Like Cactus said, if it fits and is confy, that's what matters
>>14999431
nah mang, was thinking about xt 660 but efi and dunno something missing
I just want something I can ride that I can also abuse lime taking it to feld wegen. just doing silly shit with it
I'm still not sure if I actually like the sound of i2 but i4 seems heavy and since I have to drossel it anyways man
fuck with Enduro I knew what I wanted
now suddenly naked bikes and i habe no clue anymore what I want
>>14999438
Those gloves flow nice but they don't protect your wrist.
I had a low speed crash and they held up but in a faster crash I could see them getting shredded apart. Might save your hands but they'll be kill after that. I also got a bit of skin scraped off my wrist. Really wish I had more wrist protection.
morning dbt how are you guys today?

Not him but any suggestions on good gloves? I wear the same type that he does mostly because they give good finger dexterity without bulky fat tips/don't feel like a winter glove.

ayy lmao
>>14999510
How fucking short is that guy? He makes that bike look absolutely gigantic.
>>14999471
yeah the tdm (first gen) has carbs, can be restricted and is actually marketed as dual sport
I don't know how it is off road / on feldwege though. It weighs 230 kg iirc
you could also look at transalps, there you have your off road ability (at least to some extent) and no i2
or this one http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=225204670
if you actually want to go offroad from time to time I wouldn't recommend a naked, otherwise you'll just end up like me. I'd have much more fun with a dual sport on Feldwege, compared to the r65
what about normal dual sports instead of naked bikes?
>>14999525

>>14999458
Honestly, they're amazingly comfy and I love them already.
>>14999472
The Anthem 2 meme jacket I have on order has some of those thumb hole straps so the sleeves don't ride up at speed. So I'm not 100% worried about wrist coverage. But I see your point, I got these guys knowing that it reaches 110 on average here during the summer but for the winter I might shell out $130 for some gauntlets.
>>14999499
how do into electrical troubleshooting
>>14999509
That's true they have fantastic finger feel.
I have some summer a* short cuffs that flow ok and seem to have tougher construction and more protection. I wish they had gauntlets tho, thought they were longer.
It's too bad icon didn't develop that glove more. They have fantastic fell and flow. Look like assassin gloves too lol
>>14999527
Tell him to get a fucking KLR. Italian anon is selling his.

>>14999527
normal dual sports? like the 660 or what?
too heavy and not enough power mang, I want to go fast and also whu not? ain't it fun to rape it like because thousand percent wheel spin and drifts n shit like in the mt 09 street Rallye video?
>>14999542
Disconnect and reconnect things.
>obvious kit kat is posting these harleys
nigga just put your trip on, goddamn
Alright fellas, just got of a very light 11kW 125cc bike. Lost the 11kW restriction, looking for the lightest bike possible to daily. I kind of want to it to be highway-capable (130kph), and about 60 to 70 horsepower seems to be sufficient. Apart from that, I'm looking at the lightest bikes possible, because 200kg bikes seem boring. There several bikes I've found so far:
>KTM 690 SMC(139kg dry, 63hp)
Pros:
Cons: KTM
>Husaberg 650S (113kg dry, 63hp)
Pros:holy shit that weight
Cons: part availability, pre 2004 is shit
>Aprilia SXV 550 (97kg dry, 70hp)
Pros: dat weight and power
Cons: Aprilia, two cilinders to maintain
>Honda XR650 (133kg dry, 61hp)
Pros: Honda
Cons: pretty heavy
Any alternatives? The Honda seems like the boring choice, the KTM seems dull and unreliable compared to the Ape and Husa, the Aprilia scares me in terms of upkeep, and I'm worried about parts availability on the Husaberg.

>>14999542
Get a multi meter from radio shack or something for like $25. And a Haynes manual.
There is lots of tutorials and help on the internet.
>>14999400
I didn't say that guy is right or is not a cunt.
I did say if you can't take all precautions stay in your place.
You being right doesn't matter, you get hurt anyway. Simple rule, always working, assume everyone is out to kill you.
>>14999570
I honestly don't know what's worse
>>14999563
If you have the money to be buying those bikes but want something extremely light/powerful why not get a BETA 480rr?
They have a larger oil capacity and yada yada things to make it reliable etc.
>>14999584
>assume everyone is out to kill you.
In which case you would never actually filter at all because any car you pass is apparently going to try to side swipe you.

with normal dual sport I mean bikes like xt600, tt600, xr650, dr650 and klx650
or some of those lc4 thingies if you're into that kind of stuff
I know that they are not very powerful, but at least they are not pigfat like the 660
it can be fun, but it's also exhausting riding a heavy bike like the mt09 or other naked bikes off road

nope that would mean they'd hit the car in front or oncoming traffic too. Car in front took off so he had all space available to go, minus the motorcycle.
crackheads vandalized my bike, tried to remove my gas tank, and took my spark plug and spark plug cable.

no, she rocks over to the left because she pushed off and didn't get moving in time fucked up and rocked into the car and claimed it hit her.

M8. She literally moves half a second after the car in front of her does. The only way she could have moved quicker was if she went at exactly the same time.

KTM is way more reliable than the Aprilia, like 90% to DRZ reliable, if the Aprilia was lets say 10% as reliable as a DRZ..
Also the Aprilia is actually about 300 lbs.. or about 136kg.
The Husaberg on the other hand is actually about 250 lbs or 113kg. 2008 and older models.
Just don't get a 550 Berg in the 04-08 models, no longer have connecting rods available, and has the worst crank for spreading.
>>14999657

Come on, m8. If I can (dangerously slowly) highway on a 125 you can do it on a 600.
>how fucked am I
I just tried taking off on this hire bike with the disc lock still on. Bent the caliper bracket and mounting bolt and the pads are sticking.
They're coming to collect it on Tuesday.
I'm a neet with no cash.

You could always look it up.
If you're not retarded, any bike is street legal if you know how to work the system. Literally any bike.

It's immaculate except for this.

Wow. Been waiting almost a month to buy a bike, one shows up and the guy sells it as I'm on the way to check it out. Why are people such fucking cunts?
>>14999722
I heard another anon have this issue after a five hour drive. I'd keep going and strangle the guy. Do they not realize that they might get more money if they wait for the second offer?
>>14999592
>they are always trying to kill you but aren't always aware of your existence or able to kill you in a way they can get away with
if you really are autistic enough to need that degree of logical continuity

Only the 350 is available for street use. The 480 is offroad only.
http://www.betamotor.com/en/street/bikes
>>14999722
That's usualy the way it is with bike sales. Most people want it to be as quick and painless as possible. If some cunts says "Yeah, I would like to come and check out the bike later." then another says "I'll take it and be there in five minutes with cash in hand." You're not going to say "Oh yeah, sorry. This other guy is coming to check it out later and maybe buy it so you'll have to join the que."
>>14999730
>that they might get more money
or no money at all if the second guy decides to not buy it but the first one was a safe buy because he's already there and looked at it and said yes but then if you say no lets wait for second guy and first guy thinks fuck you dickhead I'm out and then second guy comes around and looks at it and says oh no its shit and drives home he had the second guy safe buyer pissed off and the second guy didnt buy it so he now didnt sell it at all
very risky
>>14999730
People just don't give a fuck. I couldn't imagine doing that to somebody. I had a system when I sold the bike, first person who emailed got priority. Especially after a 5 hour fucking trip?
>>14999741
this. they are under no obligation to sell you the bike once you've reached a verbal agreement. it's kind of shitty but it's just business. best get over that naivete
>>14999741
>>14999751
I guess I just live in a fucked up world where certain values are thrown out the door. I don't know. Maybe I'm in the wrong, but to me that's just a dick move

>http://www.betamotor.com/en/street/bikes
>Link with no 350 in street bike category.
No, call a fucking Beta dealer and ask them you dense piece of shit. The 480 is street legal as well.
>>14999765
yeah you live in a world where you believe you are entitled to things you're not entitled to. don't feel too bad, it's pretty common these days
>>14999768
I'm not saying I'm entitled to the bike, but least he could have done was say other buyers were interested so expect a loss if you wait too long. He lead me to believe nobody else had interest in it, gave me a good time to show up and shit.
>>14999766
http://www.betamotor.com/en/street/bikes/m4-4t
http://www.betamotor.com/en/street/bikes/m4-4t-2015
Both of these are 350cc bikes.
480 isn't street legal in stock form, and will require a lot of work to get registered in Europe - while I might as well get a proper 600-ish cc bike, with some more power.

anon, it's not even worth posting on 4chan about, much less actually getting worked up over. that's the kind of thing you can get kind of annoyed with friends over, or people with whom you have more concrete ties, but strangers? just let it go.
>>14999783
> a lot of work
>literally just put a plate holder with indicators on it
americunt pls stop talking if you have no clue
Anybody with experience on the Kawi ZR7? I can't find a decent review on youtube. It's air cooled so that's a plus, although I tend to sent in traffic a lot so that might be a bad thing. Anyone own one?
>>14999782
>>14999765
Yo it IS a dickmove. I always make sure if a guy asks to see my bike when I sell it and I have another one coming first, I give him a time after the first one. Don't listen to the "mimi the wordl is all bad and everyone is an asshole, get used to it" edgelord
>>14999804
right, so get pissed off at a literal stranger. completely logical thought process.
>>14999784
>>14999790
Still no quoted power to compare them with the other bikes, given the smaller displacement they'll probably be around the 50hp mark. Not what I'd like for an occasional highway stint and dailying it. Looks like they're not available here in Europe too.
>>14999799
I'm a Yuropoor though. Registering a former dirtbike here as a roadlegal bike means haulign it to the head office of the DMV (not a local one), and getting it approved with a thourough inpsection. Not just a plate holder and indicators, exhaust level gets measured, everything has to be nanny-state safe. Approving a bike costs about 500-1000 euros, plus dyno testing, sound tests etc. It's usually cheaper to just get a pre-built one here.
>>14999809
Ok so you're not pissed if someone makes an appointment with you and then doesn't keept it for a very stupid self induced reason. You just accept that like a true beta because hey I'm getting fucked over anyway who cares
>>14999804
Even if the second guy offers to buy it and pick it up right then and there?
>>14999821
>someone is literally waving the cash you want in your face
>refuse it because someone else said they might give you cash later
Yeah, really stupid.
>>14999821
if it's a person i will most likely never see again, what's the point? you're literally letting a stranger influence your emotional state. it makes zero sense to let a complete stranger have that degree of control over you. if it's someone i know? yeah i might give them some shit, depending on what they did. if it happens enough i'll modify my expectations of how that person operates and go from there.
but really you're not going to change anything by getting butt hurt about it. seems more "beta" (fucking cuck term by the way, kek) to let someone influence you to that degree that easily.
>>14999822
>>14999826
We're talking about 20 minutes here, not fucking hours. And people don't magically stand in front of your door and wave with money. You call/text first and make sure it's still there. So he could've just said yeah a guy is coming and seeing it, I will call you back in an hour if he bought it.
Dick move.

It's possible to not have a mental breakdown because of such a minority. call him out and move on. Doesn't mean you're going to kill yourself over it, how autistic are you?
>>14999842
original anon here, pretty much this. It's not that he said it before I left. He pretty much said "yeah yeah, come on over, address is etc etc etc", he waited until I was almost halfway there before telling me that another guy is picking it up tomorrow. He wasted my time, patience and 20 miles worth of gas to tell me to "scratch that." So yeah, I'm a bit annoyed of what happened, my bad for venting.
>>14999842
This is business, m8. Deeeel with it.
>>14999794
Aw shiet, well good luck then brother.
>>14999856
who said anything about a mental breakdown? you're putting words in my mouth, cucklord. the discussion is about a some dude getting ass pained about something that's completely out of his control. the idea is that you don't need to get ass pained in the first place. but keep posting your fedora memes if it makes you feel like a bigger man
