1st for honda is boring.
What all bikes has everyone here owned and currently own? Interested to see how many have followed the /o/ memebikes as they change year to year.
>>15249782
Every bike an Anon doesn't like is a meme bike.
>therefore every bike is an meme bike
>>15249782
what property does a bike need to be classified as a meme bike?

How did you find your bike in Number 2?
Looking at trading up for one.
>>15249838
what?
>>15249838
>>15249782
KLR650. I dunno if it's a memebike I just got it because it's stout and good general-purpose machine. I go camping with it.

>>15249846
I was anxious and in a rush to get a bike after a guy couldnt meet in my timeframe the day I got my bike license. Looked in my town's newspaper - #2 was the only bike in my budget ($2000) so I went and bought it not really knowing much on bikes at the time. Ended up not being a terrible deal. Learned on it for a couple months, sold it for $2200. Just had done an oil change and gave new owner a new set of sprockets and a new chain i had bought but not installed.
>>15249840

why do you keep buying the same bikes over and over again
>>15249855
what do you mean?
>>15249858
cuz reasons
>>15249857
<3 I like it a lot more than I thought I would. With the more comfortable nature of the old ninjas - I enjoy riding it even more than I did my old zx10.
>>15249858
4 and 5 ,6 and 8 are the same bikes
I need to put back togheter my bike before africa twin guy arrives to take a pic with him.
Ass
>>15249864
is it fixed yet
>>15249867
just do it. not like that POS works most of the time anyway.
>>15249866
4 and 5 were different bikes. Both 08 zzr600s in the same color.
I sold the first one with the intention of buying an FZ6. Then the guy sold it the day before I was going to get it. I had sold mine for $4000 (bought for $3400). Then I saw #5 for sale with only 900 miles for $3600. Bought it for $3400 as well. I sold it for $5000 after putting 2000 miles on it.
#6 is an 07 zx6r I bought the day after for $5000 with only 1.1k miles. 2nd day I owned it a dude pulled out in front of me and wrecked me. Not much damage but insurance totaled it and gave me $7300 based off market value due to low miles.
#8 is an 07 ZX10r I got for $6000 with 1500 miles.
So all different bikes.
>>15249867
>and in this photo there's a honda next to a paperweight
>>15249870
No.
I'm waiting for the cost assessment, they should have given me it last week, but didn't get it. After calling them Thursday it turned out there were waiting from a damage expert from the insurance, which will never come as this isn't insured. Should know how much damage it actually has on Monday.
>>15249862
do you think the ZX6 is as much fun? I love the face, but I'd have to restrict it to 48hp anyways so there's no need for more cc
>>15249884
doesn't restricting it keeps the torque from the extra cc?
>>15249884
talking about the 07? i didnt own that long enough to know.
The zzr600 though (00-02 zx6r) I'd say was even more comfortable than the zx9r because of the smaller tank. Otherwise similar bikes for ergonomics. Comfortable riding position and still plenty of power and light enough to really toss around. I owe my zzr's with really giving me the best learning experiences getting into bikes.
>>15249891
eh I'm not sure what ya mean, I mean it's no need for the extra CCs weight since it can't make more power it would just be more heavy.
>>15249893
yeah I mean the 07
>00-02 zx6r
that's the one I want to get, yes m8
I just love that face.
>>15249903
yeah my two zzr 600's are just rebadged 00-02 zx6r's.
Fantastic bikes. The late 90's/early 2000's ninjas are some of my favorite bikes. Comfortable, good power, fairly simple/reliable. Then for some reason (many don't agree with me) I just love the styling. Especially the bug faces.
You won't be disappointed with a zx6r from that era.
I was thinking, does anybody know why people own Japanese cruiser type motorcycles? Who buys these things? What is the purpose of a cruiser? Why do they make them so heavy and slow and limited in capabilities? Of all categories of motorcycle, they seem to fulfill no role another style doesn't do better.
I kinda get a HD or Victory because M'urrica and no other style of motorcycle is produced in the USA for whatever reason, but why a Japanese cruiser?
>>15249903
afaik restricting usually limits the rpm and liter bikes have quite more torque down than 600, so even restricting it you'll benefit from the extra cc
>>15249782
Had a 2009 ex500 for two years and now I have a 2005 cbr600rr
This is my favorite bike. One shalt be needed in my life for it not to be forfeit.
>>15249929
fuck it's so lovely
you better get one now before they became too old and collectable
>>15249929
i sat on one at the shop a while ago, they're super fat. then i sat on a zx10r at the dealership and its almost as fat. wtf

thanks m8 now I just need a garage

>that I can't ride yet
>>15249916
most of the time here we have throttle stoppers so you can't give full throttle
>>15249916
if you were to restrict a 1000 to 48 hp based on RPM they would not make it to 5,000 RPM.
>>15249835
>Tt600s
This is why you dont preemptively give meme status to your dream bike before you buy it
I'm so glad I don't live in a shit country that makes me restrict my bike.
>>15249914
>I kinda get a HD or Victory because M'urrica and no other style of motorcycle is produced in the USA for whatever reason, but why a Japanese cruiser?
nah
>>15249914
Jap cruisers are usually cheaper and more reliable than their American counterparts.
Cruisers are mostly about image and the idea of cruising to your destination.
They don't need to be fast, they don't need to be light because it's counter-productive to the end goal.
There are more comfortable bikes, there are bikes that corner better, make more power and torque etc. than a cruiser, and that's fine.
Cruisers would be the floaty soft-sprung convertible with bench seats and classic styling of the motorcycle world.

It is if you can't do it.
>>15250062
That's at the top of Mac pass right?
The camera makes it look weird.
Say you're about to crash into left-turning car. Besides braking, is there anything you could theoretically do to lessen then injuries you'd recieve? Would it make sense to stand up on the pegs before you impact, being thrown over the car be better than being thrown into it? Maybe peggs back against the pegs to scoot your ass under the rear wheel so you get thrown in a high arc?
Any other technique? I know people like to lock the brakes and low-side into cars but I dunno if that's a good idea either.
Been watching motorcycles crash on Youtube and wondering about the physics.

>>15250122
Well, he won the race because it was established MM essetially forced him off the track.
>>15250122
Yes, as he gained no position and he didn't do it on purpose.

>>15250122
marc was in his blind spot, and it is the duty of the passing rider to make a safe pass. it was investigated and ruled that marc was in the way and pushed rossi off track.
>webm related
personally i think the same thing happened here. marc leaned in too soon and rossi's foot slipped off, he didnt kick. i think there should have been a minor penalty for running marc wide, but rossi did not crash him.
>>15250132
yeah on the official videopass for the most part.
If you don't want to pay money then you can just google "BT sports" streams.
>>15250132
My TV and Internet provider gives me access to online TV, so I watch Eurosport 1 HD on my PC.
>>15250136
why post the most useless angle?
>>15250136
if you think rossi didnt know he was there on both occasions you're delusional.
it's still legal because it's his line so he can go where he wants, but he definitely knew he was there both times.
>>15250136
also
>there should have been a minor penalty for running marc wide
why? that's racing.. when you have the line that's how you stop people from over undering you or getting a run on the outside.
the last thing FIA needs is more "penalties" for racers racing.
FIA and IMSA really need to take a page from the AMA motorcross and BTCC and let racers race and stop penalizing people for every little bit of confrontation or contact.

>>15250132
i avoid spoilers and torrent it. i wish i could find btsport torrents for this season specifically (haven't looked that hard), because they had much better paddock interviews before the race.
>>15250142
even in your webm you can see marc make contact before 'kicking'. his foot slipped off because of the contact.
>>15250143
well yes you're right he knew marc was there, but not exactly where. in both races they were battling and you can hear the other riders, so yes he was aware marc was there. but marc honestly tries to fit in places where there is no room a lot. it makes for good racing, but it is dangerous, and he has been reprimanded in the past.
i think assen is cut and dry and not worth discussing. but malaysia is harder to determine. i'm staying out of the 'marc sabatoging vale' argument, but personally i think on that corner, vale did run marc wide (which you can be penalized for), but i think marc made contact, and rossis foot slipped. believe what you want.
>>15250149
>why? that's racing
not quite. you pass people, but you don't fuck up others intentionally. and the penalties are useless as it is. ask lorenzo. ianonne is unintentionally sabotaging peoples entire season.
>>15250159
I don't really like to argue with retards so I won't, but the idea of marc "making contact" is just bizarre considering he's being ran off the track at the time, it's either turn in, or just let somebody run you off into the gravel but people like to act as though marc was an agressor who made first contact by actually attempting to take the corner.
I know you've been watching motogp for like a year but already know you're a "rossi fan 4 lyfe" but there's no need to distort reality in order to ensure he's always correct.
He can still be your favourite rider and do stuff wrong every now and then, nobody's infallible.
>>15250135
so an xt 600 or seriously two times the 660
>>15250165
we'll never know what happened for sure will we? i'm not butthurt vale didn't get his 10th 'ship either (i actually like jlo a ton). marc wasn't going into the gravel btw, there was tons of tarmac on the corner exit. marc could have easily accepted the slower line, but...
>i think marc made contact, and rossis foot slipped. believe what you want.
>>15250165
I just wish people would stop mentioning the whole thing entirely.
How fucking petty do these fans have to be to continue bickering on about that incident when Rossi and Marquez themselves have moved on and even made amends?
>That akward moment when you meet AT guy and you drop your bike
>>15250183
i'm this guy >>15250181
and i hope it's over too. vale was marc's hero for real. wonder if the space between jlo and vr will decrease with him on ducati
>>15250191

>>15250191
why is your life a never ending series of failures?
>>15249968
he was shoulder-checking you nonce
>>15250191
looks about as fat as a gs
>>15250159
>not quite. you pass people, but you don't fuck up others intentionally
Yes you do. If I have the line and someone is trying to pass me on the outside I'm going to slow way down and hang them out all the way into the marbles. Similarly if they show their nose on the inside when I clearly have the line I'm going to close the door on them without even hesitating and they'll think twice before trying to be cheeky again.
That's the difference between a time trial and racing and that's why he wasn't penalized either time. They go back and forth fucking with each other so that no one has an advantage which is why lap times suffer massively when people are battling for position.
>>15250158
Vibration. Get LED bulbs.
>>15250113
I'm also curious about best practice for completely unavoidable things (or things which you cannot at that point avoid; some argue that all accidents are avoidable but that's not the question).
In a car, it's basically make sure none of your limbs will be snapping in half during a sudden stop (arms not braced forward against the wheel, feet where they should be etc).
What do on a bike?
>>15250191
>inb4 your bike kills AT guy
>>15250207
kek
>>15250207
Doubt it'll do much because the front brake and the shift lever got bent
>>15250197
I wonder that too sometimes
>>15250113
Also interested. Depending on what you're landing on, how, at what angle and at what speed, getting thrown over the car could be safer if there's only, say, open tarmac on the other side. If you hit something solid that's smaller, sharper or harder than a car, the injuries could be way worse, though.
>>15250170

>>15250113
low side into it, or if you're going too fast for that jump off the pegs over the hood/roof line as the bike hits.
I mean you're gonna get hurt either way, but if I'm going fast I'd rather fly through the air and hit the ground at an angle rather than being embedded in the side of a car, much less inertia that way.
Alright, /dbt/, I take my msf course next weekend. Help me decide on my first bike. I'm looking mostly at naked bikes and more or less narrowed it down to the following
Used/new sv650
New fz07
Used street triple
Mechanically inclined/lots of experience working on cars and confident I can fix just about anything I fuck up. Not much riding experience aside from borrowing a friend's shadow 600 for a couple days while my car was down, but was able to jump on it with no real problems. Also rode the same friend's girlfriend's ninja 250 around town a bit. My loins yearn for a street triple the most of those three, but know it's not exactly a suggested beginner bike.
Other 'honorable mentions,' but I know the last 3 are farthest from being ideal starters
>older monsters
don't know how much I wanna deal with air cooling with occasional trips in downtown traffic
>shiver
far and few between but they're relatively cheap when they do go up on craigslist and whatnot
>cb500f
Least favorite of everything, but cheap and probably one of the smarter choices for a first bike
>fz6
roughly same price and availability as sv650s around here
>gsx-s750
dealerships are dumping them cheap to make room for the new sv650s
>speed triple
What I want the most of everything, but probably a bad idea. Cheaper and more available than street triples though.
>>15250224
The shift lever is fine actually, the clutch lever was already bent and now it's completely folded.
Thank god I didn't do any other damage.

That's not an appropriate first bike.
Your first bike isn't your last, don't feel like you have to buy some super dooper mega bike that'll last you a million years and that you won't get bored of ever.
Chances are you'll learn what you do and don't want/like in a bike from your first and you'll probably want something completely different next.

Die stellen mobile Blitzer auch immer nur an denselben Stellen auf, und wo die Wahrscheinlichkeit hoch ist fährt man halt nicht schnell. Wo wurdest du denn geblitzt?

Musst nur ein bisschen Gespür dafür haben wo sie gern hocken und da dann nur 10 drüber fahren.
>>15250329
Like I said
>probably a bad idea
Street triple is probably second highest on wants but I know it's on the far edge of beginner ability at best. I do feel like I know myself well enough to know that when I'm not at least slightly afraid of something is when I'm most at risk to do something stupid. The only reason I'm still considering a street triple is because I feel like that 'fear' of pushing it won't wane for a long while, and I'm not gonna be able to take it out to places where I would be able to be stupid until next spring at earliest. Track days aside. The closest real twisties means daytrip at minimum and that usually means friends wanna go, and I don't trust their driving in the mountains so I usually drive
It's still gonna be 90% commuter even when I do have the skills to complement the bike's abilities
All that said, I'll still most likely stick with an fz/sv as a safer choice
>>15250425

Nuda anon here, got a wilbitofcash.
Bikes I am looking at are as follows:
>S1000RR
>S1000R
>R1200RS
>Tuono
>Multistrada
And open to other ideas. What do you fagolas think?
>>15250442

This is the last Voxan...the VX10
>>15250442

give me money
>>15250446
Nah, keeping Nuda.
>>15250451
considered it but would get bored within like 5 seconds if not offroad.
>>15250455
wr 450 :^))
>>15250442
What about a honda?
>>15250448
Unfortunately, the brand does not exist anymore ... they made good bikes, but the competition was too strong for a brand so young.
>>15250455
Why not get an offroad bike or something further from the segment of the bike you already have?
Also why all those sportbikes and the Multistrada, not Hypermotard or even Hyperstrada?
>>15249884

not him but it's one supersport, two nakeds and two touring bikes
>>15250462
nah
>>15250463
XR650R or bust, but still nah.
>>15250465
Currently got a DR650 and BMW F650GS (Twin) + The Nuda, so honestly looking for more of a unique bike, not very attracted to the basic bikes of Japanese brands, if I had the cash I'd nab an H2, but don't.
>>15250431
It's not so much what you think you might do that will catch you out on a proper bike like a Speed Triple (or any 600+cc sportbike etc), it's what you do on instinct that will be your demise.
You're not going to think twice about the brakes being strong as fuck and that you should go easy on them when you're grabbing for them because someone ran a red light in front of you, for instance.
Then suddenly you're over the bars with the bike following you or you've lost the front end and she's sliding on her side down the road while you watch on helplessly.
Find yourself a decent 650 twin like the SV, ER-6n, Ninja 650 etc and put a decent amount of mileage on it before you go chasing after a Speed Triple imo.
>>15250442
Would it be predictable for me to say I'd get the S1000RR if it were me?
I've only ever sat on a tuono not ridden it but the ergoes sure are funny, it literally is an RSV4 smash cut into a naked with little alteration ergonomically, I'd probably rather the RSV4 soon as you already have a naked bike.
>>15250469
R1200RS is considered a sportsbike.
>>15250442
tuono for dat v4
>>15250470
Get a proper offroader like a 300EXC or something. You have most segments covered. Out of your list I'd have the multi or the Tuono probably but S1000RR would be pretty close in behind
For real?
>>15250478
>R1200RS
no it's not

Yeah, pretty sold on the S1000RR but still quite a few choices and don't want to rush through.
Many hard choices anon
>>15250486

noice
>>15250479
Lmao, one of the reasons its on the shortlist.
>>15250480
Don't have space for a trailer.
>>15250483
Check the BMW website. I agree that it's a sport tourer but its slapped under the sport category.
>>15250442
Also forgot to add
>S1000XR
Somthing shiny from 06 for you all. Got her back in November, hit 161mph so far. Lot more to give, but I should get on a track to try.
>>15250492
300EXC is street legal anon

>>15250491
wtf is this
>>15250497
Also limited garage space when I can just steal a mates dirt bike when I really wanna hit the dirt.
Otherwise DR650 is fine for the amount I do.

This is the Voxan Boxer SSR
>>15250505
just the price of the s1000 after a 750 rebate. i got the numbers a few weeks ago
>>15250508
strange. looks like a daytona and a s1000r. tell me more
>>15250492
that doesn't make it a sportsbike tho
She is not ugly. She is just bumpy pretty. At work with friends.
>>15250513
Damn son.
>>15250516
Voxan was a French bike factory, but ended un 2009 (sorry for my english). They want to produce the VX10 and the Boxer, but too late. The French government refuses to add money to save the company and the workers.
RIP voxan
"Is /s4s/ still your favorite board?" /jp/ is actually my favorite board according to what I said at the 10th anniversary panel a year and a half ago.
But [anyway], I really like /s4s/ a lot. I mean, I like all the boards. I’ve actually been spending a lot of time on /o/. DBT is one of my favourite threads these days, even though they’re pretty silly.

Ok guys, I'm buying pic related and I want to get rid of the logo and brand on the shoulder & elbows plastic covers. Any ideas ? Spray can ?
CBR600RR vs R6 vs Daytona 675?

Isn't whole panic and take a fist full of brake/whiskey throttling and looping/etc a danger for new riders on most modern sportyish bikes?
Not trying to sound like one of those 'imma start on a turbobusa wid a 15 foot extented swingarm, its k bruh i no wut im doin cuz i rased muh moms impawla,' or 'i just watched twist of the wrist, I know everything now,' or 'I'm different from everyone else' guys who wants to start on race replicas. Just kinda figured the whole argument of not starting on too much of a bike was due to a combination of unforgiving suspension, unforgiving power bands and speed capabilites, and a new rider's shit reactions at those things along with weight, poor riding style, 'odd' ergonomics, etc at their extremes.
Sv650/fz07 are already my top choice regardless, personally not a big fan of the ninjas looks
>>15250675

bikefags confirmed for being puffs
>>15249929
Bought one yesterday, 25,000 on the clock, yoshi can, wavy disks and a spare rear subframe and race seat for 1650 quid :) absolutly brilliant bike, not too much power that you have to be overly careful but more than enough to properly blow away any cars, its heavy but solid only done about 200 miles on it but already trust it 100%. Buy one i garuntee you wont regret it
>>15250715
cause it's a bit too much, I mean with the big fucking panther and the 6 "furygan" written everywhere. I don't really mind, otherwise I would pick another jacket but I'm ok with looking less like a walking billboard.
>>15250699
>Isn't whole panic and take a fist full of brake/whiskey throttling and looping/etc a danger for new riders on most modern sportyish bikes?
Of course, but the brakes on a learner bike are way more forgiving than the brakes on a litrebike, for instance.
You can do one finger stoppies on a 600 supersport, now think about what a whole hand will do.
You can get away with small mistakes on a more forgiving bike but a proper bike expects you to know what you're doing and responds accordingly.
>>15250741
That's the thing. The logos are fucking huge in that jacket. Covering the tiny ones in elbows and shoulders wont make any difference.
>>15250675
Logos and brand names are normally another layer of leather stitched on, a seamstress or leather repair shop would most likely remove them for a fee. You'd be shit out of luck of they're dyed in though.
>>15250737
IT IS THAT FUCKIN BRIT
you wanted to take pictures m8
>>15250757
Yeah I know but I alsa happen to have a really good deal on a new one. I know it won't make much difference, and if it can't be done I won't do it, just asking for advice on how to do it if it's been done
>>15250758
The logos I wish to cover are on the plastic covers on the should & elbow pads, not the ones on the leather, I don't mind those.
>>15250735
maybe if you're a degenerate that cant enunciate properly
>>15250770
Then yes. Spray paint is an option. Just cover everything else well. You could even paint them in other color to match other gear if thats your thing.
>>15250767
This is the only one ive taken, smoke stop on the way home yesterday
>>15250786
AAAH ITS SO FUCKING CUTE
>>15250780
I'm mainly in black tho, but thanks
except covering everything what else should I pay attention to ? Some kind of special paint or anything to make it weather resistant ?
TURKS BTFO

1st bike was an Xr600, I still have it.
2nd bike was a Cb400t hawk, sold it.
3d bike was an xt550, just inherited it from my uncle.
>>15250356
Where do you live?
Here in the Netherlands we have to restrict it too but the original power can't be more than double of what you restrict it to.
Any recommendations for hi vis jacket to match my lid which is a yellow Shoei gt-air? Thinking of getting this alpinestars. This is for summer commuting in the UK where the weather is either too hot, too wet or too unpredictable.
>>15250356

you could sell a kidney and be set for a lifetime
>>15250849
how much does a kidney go for?
>>15250857
70k before the procedural expenses
so about 10 k
>>15250867
what the fuck nigga
I just remove it myself and get my 70k
>>15250875
or became a doctor and earn 60k per kidney you remove
>>15250878
Seems like a better option.
