They just aren't good at anything. The only thing they can claim they have over any other motorcycle manufacturer is their completely fucking ridiculous village-people leather-dude 'tough guy' image.
That shit ain't fooling anyone.

A lot a sport bikes with equally unrestrictive exhausts are much much much louder than harleys. I'm not a fan of loud pipes at all honestly though I prefer my stock pig fat exhaust.
>>15085811
price/performance ratio is utter shit, it's objectively an undesirable product and only retards fall for buzzwords like murican freedom and heritage

I had a Versys 650 with a Two bros pipe and even with the baffle it was the loudest goddamned thing I have ever heard. Hilariously loud. Could make ears bleed in a tunnel loud.
>>15086050
I won't disagree with that. Don't you get tired of hearing it all the time though?

max kek,
Nah man I like to hear the wind, maybe I'm just a fucking pleb.
>>15086110
I commute so yes
Wish my bike was running a lil better though :(
About to oil chain then riding tonight, have some errands to run.
>>15086108
Did you notice any sikk gainz from the race exhaust?
I think the stock pipe says "Racing" on it too though. 2bh even the stock exhaust on mine is louder than ideal, and I don't really feel the need for an aftermarket pipe.
>>15086122
>I like to hear the wind,
For me I just want to be as quiet as possible.

Sneaking through questionable places without being noticed is nice too.
>>15086156
Did you find the idle mixture screw?
>>15086170
Same same, I have a friend (nigger of course) that gutted his exhaust (bought bike with several hundred dollar m4 slip on, cuts open rips out everything so its a straight pip, JB welds exhaust tip back on). Every time we ride together he draws so much attention, we roll through the city and cops and everyone has to stop and look at wtf is rolling down the road.
I quit riding with em eventually. Fuckn guy draws too much attention.
Also, ever notice how obscenely loud exhausts just make drivers do unsafe shit, ex. tapping brakes to stop cruise control, look around frantically for what they think is Rossi doing 140 down a city block.

>When you buy your vehicle, make sure you get a bill of sale with the seller, and have it notarized. Here is an example bill-of-sale you can fill out and use. If the actual seller is weird and won’t fill it out with you, or go to the notary… just fill out the bill of sale as if a friend sold it to you, and go to the notary with a friend. A notary surely doesn’t care or know who the real seller is… or when you bought the vehicle.
So my dumbass friend bought a stolen bike off craigslist and cannot get a title. They asked me to help them by filling out the seller portion of the bill of sale, then going with them to the notary.
Is this just asking for trouble? Should I steer clear? We live in California.

Loud pipes save lives applies mostly to highway and blind intersections/alleys/sideroad. In those scenarios louder = people are more likely to be aware of you more earlier.
>>15086353
you can do similar shit with south dakota. they'll send you a plate for off road dirtbikes or whatever you want pretty much. transferring it to CA plate is near impossible though, and they can still revoke it at their discretion.

Well, it's not ACTUALLY confirmed whether the bike or not was stolen.
Here's how it went down
>3 parties
>my friend (A), the guy who sold my friend the bike (B), and the original owner (C)
1. C gives bike to B to sell
2. B sells bike to dumbass friend (A)
3. Dumbass friend can't register bike without title
4. C refuses to give B title or any documentation
5. B can't help my friend out
Would this count as a stolen bike or an old bike without a title? Is it still worth the risk to put my name down on a legal document?
>>15086392
For the rider yes, I was meaning for the retard cagers texting and drinking Starbucks with Kanwe Yest blasting out of their 2007 Toyota corolla that go around blind shit/make manoovers without looking.
>>15086110
Just a little, it sucked.
>>15085997
>>15085965
So what brand / bike do i get instead because i wanted a 1200 sportster. . :^(
mt07 kitted with panniers and a tall windscreen for touring.
Thoughts?
>>15086431
Harley Dyna, not sporty. Get the after market 148" engine, straight pipes
-more than two liters- with no baffling
Loud? Loud.
Or a boosa
>>15086392
Never seen another CB1000R in the wild. My brother has a 2012 identical to yours. Picked it up a month ago with 700 miles on it for $6800.
Im looking into an old r6 or cbr 600 for a first bike. Any thoughts? Im really looking for a 600 class bike
>>15086459
RIP m8.
>>15086413
don't do it.
Look up the VIN and see if it was reported stolen. Get B to sign a bill of sale.
>>15086413
it would count as fraud
>>15086418
Yeah a lot of people are generally numb to their surroundings. Living a life void of danger they loose their sense of environmental awareness. Fuckn sheep.

>>15086457
holy fuck anon what a deal. I paid $9200 US pesos for mine but this was back in 2013 (its a 2012). Yeah me either on the wild cb though. Lots of FZ09s.
>>15086459
Get one. 250s are cheap and liter bikes make my penis hard but if you have a 600 fetish just get one.
>>15086445
148" = 2425.29cc

morning dbt whats going on?
>>15086110
Washed the bike, then took her out, so yes. Went and got some more earplugs, and decided to grab some reusable one for $12.
Anyone tried those reusable ones from Walmart? It seemed a bit louder which I expected, but I dunno, Might stick to the disposables unless I can find a better pair. Or should i suck it up and just use these?
Also, not a fan of Harleys or cruisers, but saw this at the shop. Was quite the sight.
>>15086431
So I have a brand new 2016 forty eight sportster, if you have any questions, shoot.

Couldn't you just mount them low enough to not interfere though. I imagine if you're going over the bars and snapping your wrist you would be fucked with or without them.
I just can't stand when shrubbery and little trees hit my brake lever and make me stop or skid unexpectedly.
>>15086723
I know a guy been riding an r3 (his first bike) for a year. He has no aspirations for a bigger bike. Enjoys his fuel efficient, lower insurance costing, low price, super efficient corning 320cc bike.

The transition between a dualsport 650 parallel twin to a supersport 636 or 600 isn't really that much is it?
To the off-road riders here: Do you all ride when the ground is completely soggy after several days of rain, or do you wait a while for it to mostly dry up before you hit the trails?
>>15086734
I've got a jacket boots and gloves so far, which is fine for now. I've got a CB500F at the moment and I really like the low end torks and would prefer my next bike to be another twin or V4 instead
>>15086733
they don't do anything if you have them low enough to not snap wrists, i just push my brake/clutch out if im going through shrubs, there is the point that if i hit a tree ill probably break my hand though... so is kinda a lose lose situation when it comes to those fuckers.
>>15086756
You will be looking at nearly twice the power, depending on what bike you had before. Should be completely manageable though.
>>15086764
>>15086765
Oh thats an outstanding bike. Fuck the cbr600s they are super revvy and high strung. Fun I guess but commuting road trips and shit suck they just for quick sprints. And just respect the bike, read and watch videos to increase your rider knowledge and techniques.
I like my power ranger boots. Lots of plastic for max ankle protection, sucks to walk in for more then 15 minutes or so though.
I have more fun buying gear then bike parts kek
>>15086765
I wear legit jackets too with inserts in the elbows (I take out the shoulder ones cuz I'm broad shouldered)
>>15086789
>>15086797
I'll be starting a way better paying job soon too, should free up some funds to waste on bikes and bad ideas. Should I get an exhaust for the 500 or just save up for the next bike?
>>15086784
Are you a yurup?
>>15086764
What ever the weather really, best the day after it has rained though.
>>15086800
save up.
>>15086627
This is my first plate as well.
Is this the power of maymay magic?
Also, r8 bike. First shit pics i take of it.
>>15086800
Doný bother with an exhaust, just bash the cat converter out of the stock one if you really feel like it needs to sound better
>>15086741
I would suggest 300 and higher for 6foot
Rebel would be a moped on someone that tall
>>15086830
It's not so much the sound as the 4 foot long muffler

>>15086851

Yes, so long as you actively work on the parts that you suck at. Otherwise it's like jerking off, feels good but doesn't actually accomplish a damn thing.
>>15087053
Myth m8. I can turn well enough for any city street.
Can do U turns on smaller than average roads.
I'm the midnight star 950 dude, and my bike is much clunkier than say, a sportster and as clunky as most harleys, only with very low floorboards.
>>15087049
Yes.
To get better at something, you must practice it.
You need to make and cement in the neural pathways in your brain, and the only way to do that is to repeat the behaviour you're doing.

everyone has already said what I've said, but yeah, there is useful riding and there is "doodling" one educates you, one is just pottering around.
Deliberate, repeated practice is what you need to do.
This is why I think learning willies is a handy tool because it teaches you the value of repeated practice in motorcycling, you apply the same principles from willying to corners and low speed control etc. Analyse, repeat, improve.

Get these marks done on the ground. Its the average test that any Brazilian must take to pass and get a license.
0: Unpart and start.
1: Do the number 8 fully then exit ahead
2: its supposed to be those lines on the asphalt, you dont have to do it
3: Go around the cones.
4: Stop the bike
5: Change to second gear and go on top of the yellow line (that is supposed to be a ramp).
6: Stop your bike before the line, downshifting from 2nd gear to first.

>>15087486
why does people think hitting the rev limit makes them cool?
>>15087476
Nice Nighthawk 250.
>>15087494
Its so others dont run over them. It is stupid that they dont just honk but it is still understandable.
Sold!
>>15087499
none of my bikes have rev limits so i'll just blow them up trying to get people's attention
I just picked up a DG exhaust slip on AND klx300 header for 85 bucks. it has some rust but im planning on submerging them in vinegar to remove the rust and then re-paint them flat black. Did I do good? I basically bought a full exhaust system for under 100 bucks. it was cannibalized off a KLX300 but im putting it on my KLX250s to uncork it.
>>15087463
>Start moving with your foot on the ground
Because someone might run over your foot. See >>15087486
>Start moving with lights off
Because the driver in front of you wont see you and might just throw his car on top of you.
>Let the bike stall
Might get ran over by other bikers
>Mischange gear
Might take your attention off so you crash
>Lose equilibrium aka take one or both of your foot/feet off the pegs or having to take another step when placing your foot on the ground.
They ride at very slow speeds so losing equilibrium is easy.
>Dont signal a turn
This one is fair
>Hit a cone
Agreed
>Fail to stay on the thin ass ramp
Imagine being squished by two busses or trucks.
>Get one or both tires outside of the lines of the course.
Will crash when doing turns.
For all see >>15087486
>>15087516
i agree with you, m8
i meant literally why would you do those things op listed
>>15087514
>Not upgraded header
I think the KLX300 header is the same size as the 250.
Good price though. You'll probably get annoyed with how loud the muffler is and want to go back to the stock one with the buttplug removed
/dbt/ I am exhausted should I go for a ride or stay home
>>15087574
the KLX300 header is a bit wider however the ends will still fit. I kinda figured I would get sick of the DG muffler so my plan for when that happens is to sand it down and re paint it flat black in engine enamel and re-sell it on ebay and with the slip on alone I can probably recoup the costs for the full system.
>>15087127
Going for a ride tomorrow hopefully, be interesting to compare the power of the 300 to my mates yz450f
>>15087497
I ride 1 meme not 2
>>15086823
I just got a v-star as well nice dude they are decent except hard to wheelie but thats only complaint so far.
Heres mine
So i asked last night but everyone was busy discussing what litre peter a 6 year old should get for a first bike.
What rear tyre should i get this weekend?
Mine is just about bald and im open to suggestions if you have heard a certain tyre is better than the pp3/powerpure.
Wanting around a 8000km life span and comparable grip to the pp3
>>15087778
if the grip is enough, stick with the PP3. if you would like more grip and still have good wear, Q3. however if you wear through a PP3 in 5000 miles you'll wear through a Q3 in less.
>>15087800
well that pp3 is at about 8000km in that picture, how much less would you say the q3 would last? maybe 5000km?
>>15087819
if the center is wearing out first, i'd say 6k
>>15086655
>Not taking the ultimate redpill: prostate
bruh
>>15087833
Yeah im heavy on the rear brake into corners and no ABS so i tend to shred the centre of my tyres
![Bridgestone-S21-5-Zone-Compound[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/FQe6SSM.jpg "Bridgestone-S21-5-Zone-Compound[1]")
>>15087778
SVfag here, I only ever swap both tyres at once 2bh.
I would get S21R's, they'd be what I'd be putting on my bike this week if I didn't already have a set of tyres to go on my bike already sitting on top of my wardrobe, they'll be what I'm getting after the Q3s are worn out too.
I had the S20 evo /S20R combo, and they were great, the S21's are even better and last longer, they're triple compound tyres and they turn great too, super nice profile on them, my bike never turned as sharp after I got rid of the S20 Evo front.
>>15087856
then it sounds like a triple compound tyre that's super hard in the middle would be perfect for you.
>>15085549
How does one do this
>>15087787
Moar Moab webms
Bikes look like fun. How's the maintenance?
>>15087890
depends entirely on the bike sport bikes need a fair bit of attention, big touring bikes tend to be about on par with cars
>>15087856
>heavy on the rear brake into corners
why would you do that? your rear wheel should have practically no weight on it until you get on the gas.
>>15087890
more often than cars but also easier to do (especially if the bike is unfaired). typically it's about 6,000 kms for oil, 24,000 kms for valves and such.
You will be crying tears of joy the first time you swap the brake pads on a motorcycle, you will not believe how quickly you are done with it.
>>15087902
not sure about that, all the new sport bikes have like 10-12,000 km service intervals on them now.
>>15087494
It's actually to let drivers know they're there.
>>15087915
theyve stretched them out that much now?
i havent paid much of any attention to them for ages.
dirtbikes still have ridiculous intervals at least
>>15087878
very very soft/fast rebound suspension settings.
>>15087877
I will check them out, if they are cheaper than the pp3's may as well try them out.
>>15087909
To slow down faster?
I have my bike set up to keep as much weight off the front end as possible when braking, the front wheel will lock before the rear end lifts off the ground unless you are leaning over the tank.
>tfw seriously regretting not getting summer gear
REEEE
>>15087902
That's what I figured.
>>15087915
That's not all that bad really
>You will be crying tears of joy the first time you swap the brake pads on a motorcycle, you will not believe how quickly you are done with it.
Like "fixing a slipped chain on a bicycle" easy?
>>15088038
a couple bolts and maybe a threaded pin, takes about 5 minutes if you include fighting through the packaging on the pads
took my fiance on a 200 mile ride Sunday, can't be bothered to make webms, partly because i re-mounted my gopro a bit too low on the chin of my helmet, now all you can see is my dash/hands
>>15088038
if you can use a ratchet, you can change brake pads. it's so easy
>>15088056
>takes about 5 minutes
That's all you had to say kek. I'm actually looking forward to doing this.
>>15087981
thats a load of shit, and you're full of shit. no street or track bike could work in that manner. the rear brake offers basically nothing in fast riding. even if your rear end isnt leaving the ground, it still only has a couple pounds of ground pressure under hard front braking. mine rarely leaves the ground unless theres undulations in the track at the start of the braking zone, but i still slide and fishtail if i so much as brush the rear brake. especially when downshifting.
>>15086110
i went out to pick up coffee creamer for my mom. so yeah i took the klx 250s for a spin.
also mine is dirtier than pic

Sorry I forgot about this thread, got no pictures of her, but desu her steering is pretty fun, I can get pretty low and the far front tire saves my life more than you'd imagine, like hitting a drag radial wide pot hole by accident in the dark and all it did was jar me instead of making me crash.
I won't beat around the bush in the fact that the gas tank is fucking garbage, I literally fill up every 80-90 miles (if not less) because I drive like a cock sneeze most of the time, but even grannying I only get like 100 mpt.
Beyond that, stock pipes are trash, and that's my only real complaint besides the speed, it's quick but not sports bike quick so that's just me being a boyracer. I can still beat most cars on the road though, and also, if you have the money, personally I wish I went and took an extra 2 g's and got a larger bike like the victory 8ball series.
Over all I give her an 8/10 because it's just fun, small, peppy, still plenty loud, and badass looking. But bad gas, shitty Long distance.
>>15088150
i don't make promises, anon, I'm sorry. I don't stick to them anymore, it's just easier to not be held responsible.
