Give me a list of models that are very similar looks wise to a Ducati SportClassic Sport 1000
Trying to get my hands on one here in my state in Aus is proving pretty difficult

I wish i could meet someone as autistic as you are
>>15026321

>>15026358

WHo in their right fucking mind is going to buy the 2015 Norton Commandos for the fucking 40k (AUD) price tag they have set on them?
They look like a standard street fight and there's not one special thing about them. I just cannot see them selling at all...
>>15026380
Not to mention they're uglier than the Thruxton
>>15026380
faggots anon, faggots
>>15026371
not that much, if I could build one I would want basically a two stroke with 4 stroke sound.
>dat light and simpleness

but the sound is meh.
>>15026380
baby boomers will.
im back guys
>>15026391
4 strokes sound like someone farting in a can and no person in the history of mankind has made a good fake 4 stroke sound.
Anyone can go badingdingding though, you are more autistic than i am brain damaged you should know this wr anton.
>>15026380
>40K aud
Fucking christ, I kinda like the thing but I think even 16K US is a little much, that's just insane.
>>15026402

>>15026380
British motorcycles carry a premium. I will admit that I don't understand what the point of Norton is nowadays though
>tfw no twin rotor Norton Commander

making fake motorcycle sounds, it is the main reason why 2 strokes are superior.
>>15026399

You're incredibly confused.
>>15026403
Cost more than an 1198.
Makes no sense they are much cheaper to build.
>>15026402
I don't get what you mean man
if I dart in a tin can and play it on loop will it sound nice?
and what does being able to reproduce the sound with mouth have to do with how good it sounds?

>>15026522
Compared to the dirt bike it seems like a gutless pigfat shit if im honest.
just can't seem to have fun on it lately, the only fun to be had seems to be going through corners in a manner that is likely to get you killed for no real reward.

Are those snorkels part of a ram-air system? My CBR has a ram-air entrance and
>speedo starts malfunctioning
>solenoid valve stays open all the time
>fuel mixture goes lean to the point bike barely runs over 40km/h
You can bypass the solenoid altogether (as I did) but then you have to be careful with the throttle in low-mid revs over 60km/h, if you go full-wot outta nowhere you lean it too much due to the ram air and the bike doesn't go anywhere. Well that's my theory, I could be wrong.
Working on bikes is pretty cool, it makes you appreciate their designs and the thought that went into it.

That's fucked, the exchange should make then around about 27K (from roughly 37k) if there was a direct conversion, so that's basically how much it's costing us here in Aus.....
>>15026551
What bike is it?
Honestly you should just sell it and buy some shit rat dirt bike to get hektik on.
I know how you feel though, I don't really find sport bikes fun either.
>>15026584
iirc the guy bought it from a pretty interesting guy who tracked it
>>15026578
For a RAM air intake you need a ram, something in the middle that diverts and compresses air
It's only useful at supersonic speed
Just picked this up yesterday on the Cheap Cheap.
Is hydrodipping ironically cool or just weird for everybody?
Im trying to figure out who this paint job was for.
>>15026380
I would buy a 2015/2016 brough for 50k over a Norton. The Nortons don't make any fucking sense to me either, even the old ones don't make me go all goey like they do some people

Perhaps I abused the term "ram air system" but several vehicles do have what is called "ram air intakes" and they don't reach supersonic speeds.

Already way ahead of you, at the point now where im trying to convince myself i still need the road bike.

>>15026638
but buying a cheap XT means work, and after riding it to SEM it's gonna be worth almost nothing because it's a trillion miles trip, and I can't make money during the SEM so it would be a big minus
I do like the XT, but I don't know if I want one. Does the green Super Ténéré count as cheap? :^)

That's a nice tw as well.

I mean while your on the bike, I hear the s version puts a lot of stress on your palms and wrists for longer rides.
I know some taller people don't have that issue because their arms grow proportional to their body so it feels like a normal position for them.

Yes and 2015 bikes still have a choke anon.
thats why it revs harder at idle for about 5 minutes when you first start it.
they still have oil too.

Well you can shut up then because you don't know what you're missing.
Riding is fun but when the ride to work is full of congested traffic and you can't lane split it's really no better than a car.
>>15026709
>asymmetrical headlamps make my dick wet
Ditto, and makes it look a little puzzled lol
>>15026690
Sensors, ECU, fuel rail. They're far less prone to issues, but harder to diagnose when you encounter them.
I've dealt with tons of fuel injection issues in my and my buddy's Jeeps.
>>15026706
the new SWM even have EFI and still a choke
ay lmom
>>15026655
>implying FI breaks
>>15026713
Ah yeah well if you live in a place where you cant lane split I'd understand if you dont daily drive your bike, that would drive me crazy, especially if it was raining or something.
I live in Cali so it's the opposite for me, I'd sooner die than drive a car anywhere unless I absolutely have to, so much fucking traffic it would add hours to my trips.
>>15026676
I'm 5'8 and have no issues on my S
>>15026718
Does it just happen because shit happens? Or is there something you do to the bike that actually breaks it?
>>15026719
that's not a choke lever. That's a decompression lever.
Car owner here, how does it feel knowing you bike losers can die in fucking seconds?
You have such a higher chance of being IMPALED AND KILLED than i do in a car, i have a chance of getting off alive, you're FUCKED.
Bikes are just for pussies who need to overcompensate and can't go fast holding a wheel so they need to be really light weight and have a massive engine.
Be honest, your pissy engines would be weak as fuck in a car.
Pathetic, you overcompensating fucks.
>>15026732

>Massive engine
Jej, someone is butthurt his shitbox gets lapped by scooters
>>15026727
Just shit happens. A couple times I've ran into intermittent misfires, and it took me a couple days to figure out what was causing it. Turned out to be the contacts on the ECU having cracked from wiggling, and that was fucking up *everything* causing misfires.
The stars and moon have to align perfectly to fuck you over like that.
>>15026733

My street bike puts out 180 hp. would be sufficient for a car. It does 0 to 60 in 2.6 seconds and I dont have to be afraid of breaking it so I dont drive around at 20 mph like the kind of faggots that buy porches.
>>15026740
You have never ridden a 4 stroke bike with a kick start before have you?
>>15026740
my bike has one as well. It holds the exhaust valves slightly open so you can turn the engine easier.
EFI systems automatically adjust the fuel mixture, making it a little richer until it gets warmed up.
is the KLR 650 a meme bike?

People realise jet fuel is basically just kerosene right?
>>15026803
You could probably run it off crude on the side of the road. Sand helps clean the valves
>>15026803
you could get wasted while doing sikk skids
>"BOOOORIS!!!
>we need to get our shitbike running on vodka"
>>15026771
I never use my decompression lever for kick starting unless it's flooded or something. It is useful for the electric start though because it is weak as shit and the battery can't hold a charge well. It doesn't fire up as well when using that lever.
>>15026797
Read the above.

Kind of. It's not good for anything.

The diesel one is definitely a meme. It's even heavier and slower than the normal one.

Isnt kero basically diesel as well?

>It was made for the military where diesel and jetfuel is more common than petrol
But that has no use to the rest of us.
>>15026845
Yes, at a point metal becomes flammable so you can fill the tank full of it and it will burn producing extreme torks
>>15026824
Kerosene is #1 Diesel, and is used in winter blended diesel fuel you get from a pump. There are a few differences like higher energy density, lower flash point, less paraffin so it doesn't gum up as readily.
It can be burned the same as pump diesel in many cases.

I suppose most people don't really care about how things like jets actually work, they just think it is cool that they can make things go fast, which is fine i guess.
>>15026780
No. If anything I'm less sweaty with one.
The only thing that sucks about it is it directs my breath upward and fogs up my glasses when I'm at a still but once you get moving it clears up.

Why do KTM fags get angry?
>>15026877
>>15026902
Because their bikes are broken.
>>15026813
>>15026902
>absolutely nothing about any brand posted at all
>automatically blame KTM
are you that retarded?
>>15026756
I actually stopped using one. Keep having to adjust the fucker, or the centreline imprints on my skull. Also makes departure faster. If its really cold I use a woolen collar.
>>15026902
because their bikes a shit
>>15026683
>m-muh carbs guys, I can't ride :(
Well it probably has to do with anons buying 20-30 year old bikes with worn float valves, rusty tanks, cracked o-rings and god knows what else.
That and project bikes, which are almost old bikes too.
I have a newer (and by newer I mean "only" 10 years old) carbed bike and it never skips a beat.
EFI is still pretty sweet tho.
>Just got the confirmation call for my road test tomorrow
>"Make sure everything on your bike works"
They must know I have a shitbike.
>>15026932
That's not even the most up to date image m8.
>>15026917
Thanks.
Do you like it though? I hear it's a bit stiff on compression but hardly has any rebound at all once it does finally compress.
>>15026953
And if your carbs get fucky you can keep riding for months just with misfires
>>15026902
Because we can i guess, that and denial.
>>15026917
Are you talking about having a linkage vs no linkage?
If you have always ridden with a linkage you will hate ktm rear suspension, if you have always ridden a ktm you will hate linkage suspension is my opinion on the topic.
>>15026612
holla at ya boi
no car for almost 2 years now and fucking love it. bike to work, bike to the store, bike to the bar, bike for a pack of smokes.
such a more free feeling, interesting way to commute. sitting in a car makes me very bored very quickly. probably because for 7 years beforehand all ive had was cars, and i would drive 30 miles a day or more.

I have no idea what a pencil suspension is, i just painted a pencil over the first image on motorbikes sorry.
>>15026980
i have no idea what it is either but im assuming its this
>tfw I found a shortcut through a forest which is half as long as the normal road around it
I normally don't ride there, but it's nice to know
thred ded
wake up dbt i have to go to work soon and you guys are my entertainment until then
>cheapest dorsoduro still costs 5k
FUCK
>>15027015
yeah but if you are going 1/5th of the speed its not really a shortcut is it?
>>15027015
>he still haven't built a scrambler out of his bike
>>15026927
The key is to adjust it so it sits a little below your eyebrows, then when you put your helmet on, put it on in a scooping motion and it'll pull up right on top of your eyebrows so it doesn't mush up against your forehead and leave the impression.

How should a helmet sit? I've been pulling mine down a lot lately so the top of the visor area sits on my eyebrows
>>15027036
in his case it wouldn't be for looks but for practicallity
i mean look at the roads the thing has to ride
>>15027047
it shouldnt move on your head.
>>15026726
what site is this pic from?
>>15027074
ergo simulator in the OP.
>>15027024
it's a shortcut, so it's only shorter
but anyway it's also faster a bit, but nothing for every day with my bike
>>15027026
I'd rather buy a dual sport Tbh
>>15027061
>i mean look at the roads the thing has to ride
yes, that poor thing
>>15027069
It doesnt. I just find myself adjusting it a lot
>pants I wanted were 135€ yesterday

Why.

Shouldn't rotate around if you shake your head, shouldn't have any hot spots from pressure points. Your head might be the wrong shape for your helmet.

>two people to lift it
Im buying my second bike this summer (hopefully).
I want a bike that can do long range adventure travels with some offroad capabilities.
Must be A2 (max 48hp).
Must be around or below 3k€.
I've narrowed it to this two candidates:
Yamaha XT660R and Kawasaki KLE500
Wich one would you choose and why?
Any other candidate that I should consider?
> 2days off work
> newbike gonna get a good spin
Here hoping no more close calls with the otherside of the road
>>15027097
I'd love to have a doctor big
>>15027107
660
because it looks better, is single cylinder and weighs more than 20kg less
>>15027107
>>15027128
When in doubt, thump about.
>>15027112
>one of first rides on bike
>Slight bend on a steep downhill
>End up going so wide I go on the other side of the road
>Just about hit an oncoming car
That was fucking scary. Luckily had nothing even close to that in the year following
>>15027107
>KLE500
A shit.
Get the 660
>>15027107
XT because I also wanted one but I was to poor for one.
keep that site in mind.
http://www.off-the-road.de/en/home/
>>15027128
I know you do, that's why you should fucking buy one.
I can't really leave the dualsport meem, now looking at TT600 again
fuck me nigga I wish I could finally decide what I want but I am retarded.
>>15027128
>weighs more than 20kg less
20kg lighter
>>15027107
id probably be looking at a dr650 with a safari tank slapped on it for that price range.
>>15027151
welcome to the autism general, here we discuss motorcycles and their applications on the road.
>>15027151
>>15027128
>20kg less
But thats not true. They weight about the same.
>muh flat black spec ops bike
i know flat black bikes don't really scream "never dropped" especially not when on a dualsport, but somehow this looks interesting.

>>15027151
>20kg lighter
t-thanks
>>15027146
when the time comes I'll get more bikes
>I can't really leave the dualsport meem
nice
tt a good
>>15027171
oops, I looked at the wrong site
yes you're right
but I'd still buy the xt
>>15026602
>being this big of a pussy
why even ride at all if its soo painful
>Local mechanic just got a dyno
>Having a dyno shootout to celebrate
I'm scared to bring my bike in case all the horses have fled mine over the years, ignorance is bliss
>>15027185
> you can't even change the type of bike you ride because it would mean adapting different habits
thats not nice anon that's autism to the max
there are only few TT for sale sadly, was also looking at klx/r 600/650 now but they seem heavy and not that sporty, tt seems to be the lightest bzw. best bet out of the bunch I guess.
and it's kind of a special snowflake bike.
tomorrow I'll go to the Fahrschule again to ask them for taking me back in. I hope I didn't really get a Fahrvervot, because I'd be mad as fuck.
the TT looks weird because blue and not green camouflage but ok, the xt has funk ton of km but air cooled xt is indestructible and looks kinda cool imho and is damn cheap, kawa is green but nothing special out of these two

lmao kek
>>15027267
Stop. I cant handle it. I just know one of my cylinders is losing compression badly but I dont want to face the truth. 75,000km and 20 years isnt nice on an engine.
Once I get a car I swear I'll rebuild her and treat her nice
>>15027273
its unrelated if youre not the OP, but ok. stay pussy
>>15026733
My favorite bike has like 20hp and a top speed of 65mph.
Fun is the point.
>>15027293
no one gives a flying fuck if you ride in the rain, people just think lmao what an idiot kek
>>15027288
I'm only half joking because I'm legitimately afraid of that day coming to pass myself. I was never one to get an emotional attachment to objects, but a bike of the same make and model just isn't the same as mine. It would suck to see it go.
>>15027313
>rain
>related
>>15027288
That feeling when my bike has almost 500.000 km on that first engine and still hold up to bikes with the same power. Pure love
>>15027323
OP mentioned freezing just replace rain with riding in the cold
still an idiot lmao
>>15027341
rain isnt tantamount at all to the cold
might want to piggyback on someone else youre not very good at this
>>15027288
75k km is nothing. Wait until it ticks over to 100k
>>15027340
>over 310,000 miles on a bike engine
I'm intrigued. What do you ride, how long did it take you to rack up all those miles?
>>15027363
It is when its highly strung. Pulling 45hp from 250ccs is bad for longevity even if it has honda reliability. At least engines are cheap to pull from write-offs
>>15027356
but you can just replace it and it still makes sense you still uncomfy
and people still think you are an idiot for wanting to be a special snowflake lmao
>>15027376
here's your last (You)
hopefully 75 degree sunny no wind days are in your future so you can ride, thanks for the laughs
