First for now no other cunt can be first.
first
What do you stupid freckle faced fucks think about the Hayabusa? Is it worth it? Are they fun?
honda a shit lmao
>>15318153
If they aren't molested like that one has been and you are over 6ft tall yes they are great bikes.
are camo riding pants a meme?
>>15318161
yes unless you ride an adventure bike
>>15318156
Why do you have to be over six feet tall? Thay don't look that big? It's not a big ass enduro. I guarantee my bikes way taller than a Hayabusa and my buddy fits on it just fine. He's 5'6.
>>15318165
does this count?
>implying I care
>implying I'm not a meme anyways
>>15318169
because its a 220kg bike designed for people who are over 6ft tall.
compared to any litre bike it will seem like a pigfat shit and you will be stretching to reach the handlebars if you are a manlet.
>>15318172
>implying I'm not a meme anyways
then why are you asking
>>15318180
so I can know if that makes me more of a meme or nah
Yamaha got the Mt-07 (and 03), Kawa got the ER6-N, Suzki got the Gladius.
All proper, budget friendly, first time & easy going bikes. Good for young people with not a lot of money that want a modern bike that is cheap, but doesn't look or feel cheap.
Where the fuck is Honda?
>>15318183
Is this the universal face of tt600 riders?
>>15318179
I'm 6'4 so I do t think that's a problem and like I said it's not a big ass enduro. I highly doubt you need to be over 6'0 to ride one comfortably.
>>15318191
>>15318189
this?
>>15318195
Gross.
>>15318179
Cycle ergos reckon it isn't a huge amount more bent over for me than my 600.
>>15318197
yeah that's the whole point of those kind of bikes
>>15318153
Probably lots of fun but very ugly if you ask me

I love how retarded /dbt/ is
you could be bothered making a collage of bikes but couldn't be bothered googling what bikes honda actually has.
>>15318206
unobtainable & dated
shit
shit
>>15318209
how is a cb500 shittier than an er6
I really want a Su-Four like Hane. How easy is this in the UK?
>>15318212
honda
>>15318212
have you ever ridden a CB500?
the CBR650's are great the CB500 is a fucking pile that weighs a ton and has the most boring engine ever placed in a motorcycle (I shit you not redline is under 8k)
The stock pegs on it are hilariously low too, I scraped it IMMEDIATELY AND VIOLENTLY doing a 90 degree turnoff at an intersection.
>>15318212
to be fair the unobtainable & dated bike is better than the cb500.
i heard this is the thread where the fags are
>>15318200
I tell this to every new rider I ever meet. Buy a dirt cheap ass used gs500 or klr650 preferably the klr because off roading on a motorcycle is literally the tits and both bikes have more than enough power for a beginner rider.
>>15318228
whats it like starting to ride motorcycles as an adult?
i imagine its intimidating
>>15318229
It's the same as when you were a new rider except you're not a noodle armed Mickey Mouse cunt fuck who doesn't know how to properly ride a bike but that's not always the case.
>>15318219
Unless you're talking about the four cylinder one from the 70s you're plain wrong
Redline is 10k or 10.5.
Your body position must be shit if you are such a retard that you 'violently' scrape the pegs rounding a corner.
>>15318229
it's fucking fun
as a child you're ecstatic to ride a bicycle so you don't really feel the joy, but as an adult, oh boy
>>15318226
post your bike
>>15318239
yeah but i was 4 when i learned how to ride, i think 6 when i got my first bike with a clutch so its always been kinda natural for me, im kinda jealous because going through all those learning stages and actually remembering them would be neat, pretty much what >>15318245
said
Why doesn't Honda make the best most reliable long lasting sport/crusing motorcycle ever to bless the earth and design a motorcycle around one of these bad boys?
>previous owner needed a new rear every 15k km
>mfw I need one every 7k km
>>15318254
what's that, looks like a heavy bastard
>>15318254
They already did.
And it's a v4
>>15318259
I've helped move one of these motors and they're not heavy by any means.
>>15318260
No anon, I'm talking about the k20 motor specifically.
>>15318257
my pp3 is at about 7000km, is normal for softer tyres
>>15318241
>Redline is 10k or 10.5.
ok
>2015 CB500F Horsepower Rating: 49.6 HP at 8,500 RPM
>Your body position must be shit if you are such a retard that you 'violently' scrape the pegs rounding a corner.
here you go, feel free to critique it to your hearts content, won't change the fact the bike comes with very little clearance and would require aftermarket rearsets if you want to go around corners.
I know /dbt/ are body position experts so this will be fun.
>>15318265
>8k rpm
>vtec
let's just leave it where it is anon
>>15318254
Imagine how easy it would be to mod the motor with all the aftermarket parts available for these and no worring about valve adjustment bullshit and the parts would be hilariously cheap compared to most motorcycle parts.
>>15318241
>500cc twin
>10k redline
You wish
>>15318271
crossed up, your head should be closer to the mirror
>>15318273
8k isn't a big deal when you got 200hp anon. Even in a car it's pretty quick.
>>15318271
So it makes its peak power above the redline?
> says cb500, means cb500f
Retard confirmed.
>>15318278
if I go further out it'll actually be getting further away from the mirror tho
>>15318284
well we were discussing the cb400sf, cb500f and cb650f.
>>15318282
but why would you want an i4 without the joy of revving it to the moon
>>15318282
This is a bone stock k20.
>>15318229
24y/o here, aside from a couple months ago riding a friend's bike around the block, I just finished my msf course over the weekend.
It was only intimidating until I realized it's like riding a bicycle and finally stopped overthinking things. I'm sure it's much more intimidating for those who've never driven/aren't comfortable with manual cars though.
>>15318288
fuck off street rossi, keep it on a track
>>15318288
i tried leaning off my bike by holding onto the other side with one leg and reddit scraping along the ground, felt like a bit of a spanner but i also felt like i was really fast while doing 30km/h slower than i normally would through corners
>>15318291
Sorry forgot link
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V6R1rmJGTfk
>>15318284
read the comment chain you were replying to
>>15318206
>>15318209
Do you see how it both says CB500f and has an image of one?
then again, don't trust me.
I'm just a "retard" with bad body position after all.
>>15318294
so its like i thought then, understand how the clutch works and all is well, i do still remember when i was a kid and learned that you just let the clutch out slowly and smoothly and i felt so good i just did that until i was out of fuel lol
>>15318296
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>15318229
I got my first 50cc bike at 16. God must have had something really special in store for me because I crashed that thing so damn much.
Made it go fast, did 95km/h opposed to the standard 45. And it was wide open throttle always.
I feel like that's the worst age to start riding. You're not young enough to hold the machine in regard because your parents said so, nor old enough to fully grasp why you should do so on your own accord.
Started again at 24 (this year), so far a wholly different experience. Much more leisurely and calculated.
>>15318277
> HURR DURR DURR I'M A RETARD
see picture
>>15318289
>>15318300
In >>15318219 you literally said CB500 several times.
>>15318284

>calls others retarded
>>15318254
>>15318275
>>15318282
>>15318298
You can easily get over 200k on one of these motors with horrible maintenance and consistently being on the throttle.
I SMIDSY'd a hi-vis uncle on his big adventure bike to day when I change lanes in my truck. Proper truck too, not a fucking ute.
Funny shit. Stupid cunt shouldn't have been doing 150+
>>15318304
that crash into the side of a truck seems to have done more damage than we thought lads.
>>15318304
well sorry. would you think we are talking about a 1970's cb400 if we didnt add the sf?
>>15318304
No one cares about your shitbike

What if i call it an RMz1000? would you be triggered?
>>15318316
Havin' an autistic tantrum there, m8?
>>15318308
Then you take into account it wouldn't be hauling a three thousand pound car around but a light ass motorcycle. These things would last forever.
>>15318316
just admit you're wrong for jumping to conclusions without reading the discussion anon, it's not shameful
at least not more than this autistic refusal you're babbling out
Your body position must be shit if you are such a retard that you 'violently' scrape the truck rounding a corner
>>15318321
>>15318326
> I'm an autist and jumping to conclusions when I assume you're talking about the bike you're specifically naming
> I only had water and cabbage for lunch, why am I getting fat mr. doctor man?
> uh yeah, I meant pizza and coke obviously, duuurrrrr wat r u dum?
>>15318330
That's indeed what happened, yes. Unlike you I don't blame my mistakes on the bike, however. And if I did, I'd make sure to name it correctly in order to not call a completely different bike crap.
>>15318316
>>15318322

>>15318332
I like to imagine he is foaming at the mouth when he starts posting gs500's
>>15318335
come on it's time to pull the "I was only pretending to be retarded" card, this is getting boring
>>15318339
Not even me, look at the post times.
>>15318341
Where are you from, friend? Just curious.
>>15318254
Truth is it would be too good of a bike
>minimal maintenance
Less money for the Honda dealerships
>extremely long lifespan
Wouldn't sell enough bikes every year
>A lot of power
Owners wouldn't get bored of the bike and therefore wouldn't want to sell them and buy another.
>Easy to work on and dirt cheap parts
Once agin, less money for Honda dealerships
Etc, this new sport touring bike would immediately be the best one on the market but they'd loose way too much money in the long run.
>>15318335
oh I don't mind, I'm just reveling in the knowledge that a guy who rode into the side of a truck has bothered to suggest anyone else might have poor body position.
It's the most /dbt/ thing that has ever occurred.
Everyone's an expert, nobody is able to back up anything they're fucking saying.
>>15318301
I've been driving manual since I learned to drive so the actual shifting/clutch shit wasn't a problem whatsoever for me, aside from building the muscle memory of where everything is at.
My biggest problem/intimidation factor so to speak was overthinking everything and mentally getting caught up in the process of doing it, rather than just outright doing it like I know how to on a bicycle. Once that clicked it was smooth sailing
>>15318345
This, if worst came to worst and you somehow magically blew one of these motors you could literally replace the entire thing for around 2k and be set for another 20 years.
>>15318344
>ot even me, look at the post times.
Its easy to post on your phone and use lap top to post your best bike
>>15318346
Knowing what good BP is / knowing the results of bad BP and having it are two different things.
It's like how you know what not-shitposting is, but you can't not shitpost.
Also
> people's knowledge and abilities don't change in a year
>>15318350
yeah with bikes like everything its all about trusting your brain to do the right thing if you want to do well because thinking about it will only fuck you up, thats where things like target fixation come from
Victorian cunce and their false flags.
>>15318345
but most of the times the engine outlives other components of the bike, and people buy a new bike to try something new rather than "I'm bored with my liter bike"
>>15318355
I'm not THAT autistic.
>>15318344
>implying you arent spamming gs500's to derail the topic
Why do have such a hardon for dropanon? You victorians are fucked in the head.
Fuck this thing has aged well,
anyone owned/rode this glorious biku - what's it like?
>>15318363
>gets triggered
>starts spamming shit
>is not even funny
gee I wonder
>>15318373
you always accuse whoever calls your bullshit out for being dropanon.
>>15318375
keep reposting this shit, maybe somebody will believe it
>>15318378
It's true you fucken retarded fuckwit.
>>15318359
>>15318363
drop anon i have posted the OP, the first comment and 1 reply to you so far in this thread, relax m8 you do this shit to yourself.
stop being so paranoid.
>>15318378
>he doesn't know all of /dbt/ thinks he is a bigger fuckwit than Paul Gallen
>>15318385
you are the dumbest cunt here, fucken no idea.
>>15318345
you just described the hayabusa
>>15318360
A lot of the time people want to sell there bikes around the time valve clearance is due or some other maintenance issue because it's a pain in the ass. Believe me anon when I say people who bought these bikes would want to keep them after they paid them off and just buy another bike all together because they would literally be able to do almost anything and and backyard machanic with 2% knowledge on how motors work could literally fix anything on the motor.
>>15318360
That's not necessarily true anon. I guarantee most people sell thir bikes around the 5k-10k mark because they're scared of racking up miles on the bike. There's tones of people who would never even dream of buying a bike with over 20k miles because they'd think the motor is pretty much almost shot at that point. Not with this motor.
>>15318388
>triggered
>>15318191
yes
as soon as you get on it you can't make any other face
>>15318404
does the truth hurt
>>15318400
It's like I said, even with garbage maintenance you can pull an easy 200k miles on one of these and that's pulling a three thousand pound car around.
>>15318407
And that's even if you drive like fucking ghost rider or some shit being on the throttle all the damn time.
>>15318394
idk it seems unlikely that somebody who thinks checking valves it an impossible task suddenly starts doing all maintenance to his bike because it has a different engine
>>15318400
again it seems to me it would require a completely different mindset on the owner that would just happen overnight.
>>15318406
which one?
could I aim my bikes exhaust at the jackhammer and tune the engine to cancel the noise?
>>15318405
wr dedecded :--DDDD
>>15318416
Anybody who knows what a k20 is would instantly understand and people would be reviewing the bike like crazy. It would be a big deal.
>>15318421
jackhammers arent actually that loud, they just vibrate the fuck out of your everything.
>>15318390
I know a guy who wouldn't buy a hayabusa because he thought 40k miles was basically meaning the motor was kill or about to be kill.
>>15318426
so installing a sybian in my chair could resolve it?
>>15318284
Friend bought a 2015 Cb500FA. It's actually got a red line at 8500. Maybe it can go to 9 but the Rev gauge is red between 8000-9000.
It's also hilariously underpowered compared to other bikes of similar size.
Very nice bike though. And cheap. It is a good beginner bike, but he's 6ft and a bit of a boy racer, he'll be looking to upgrade soon enough.
>>15318423
oh shid u god me :-DDD
>>15318427
personally id expect around 100,000km out of most bikes before they need pistons/rings then 200,000+ before valves/timing chain/bottom end bearings
>>15318431
its just a cbr500 without the fairing on it and the cbr500 is renowned for being a pigfat shit with a boring engine, good beginner bike sure not anything special though, id personally say a cbr650 is a better beginner bike
>>15318433

>>15318454
>having to work
Welcome to the real world, you have 40years left then death.
>>15318456
Nobody here has a fuel tank in the first place.
>>15318434
Yea and even though you're throwing down numbers most people would never take their bike up to before selling them that's still a fuck ton of maintenance compared to what this k20 designed bike would need and way more expensive.
>>15318461
don't you mean 30 years then your parents die and you can quit your job and live off the money they leave you?
>>15318456
I sometimes rest my legs on my forks while riding
is comfy
>>15318461
more like 3 years left
>>15318457
yes I can ride it, but not legally allowed to, no.
5 days until test - 28th is the day
>>15318459
I used to sit on the rear seat, and steer with my feet, had a throttle lock so was easy to do.
Spooky at first though.
>>15318462
stop hurting the no-bikes feelings.
>>15318465
nah most of that money goes into taxes
>>15318463
people generally hold onto bikes for around 60-100,000km where i live, i guess they just expect things to last longer than people do from where you are from.
most cars are held onto until half a million - a million kilometers
>>15318467
>more like 3 years left
are going to ann hiro?
>>15318463
And the cheap maintenance and long lifespan and power of this motor wouldn't even be the biggest selling point in my opinion. The thing that would make me the most happy is you could literally ride like a bat out of hell any time all the time and never worry about being to hard on the motor or worrying about dramatically decreasing the lifespan of the motor as its a thought we all have in the back of our minds when hot roding our bikes, don't even try to deny it.
>>15318467
was that the first real bike you rode?
or no you have ridden 450's and shit havent you?
>>15318476
nah, I'll get my A (open) with 22, then ride muh SMILING NINJA with 140 HP and then some day I'll think I'm street Rossi and die I guess.
>>15318481
NINJA A SHIT
>>15318440
The main thing it had going for it was being cheap for a new bike. It was a bit cheaper than a 300 from any other brand, and has a bit more power than the ninja 300.
It's also pretty torquey and cruiser like to drive due to the low rpm range. Good to go to work and back, which is mostly what he uses it for.
>>15318454
you're working at the motorradladen wieder, right? what are you doing atm?
But I feel quite nervös without gear and it's so hoooot. Maybe it'll cool down by the time uni ist zuende.
>>15318485
i believe an mt-07 is cheaper, as much shit as everyone gives them they are easily a better bike than the cb500 having ridden both

MSRP FZ-07 (they don't sell "MT" in Canada, this looks the same though): $7300.
He got his CB500FA registered, on the road, taxes paid (not including insurance) for $5700. I think the sale price was just under $5000.
MSRP for it is apparently $6700 but nowhere we found was selling it for that much. He got a good deal but pretty much everywhere we went, they were sub $6k, whereas other bikes were around their MSRP.
Maybe it's a temporary market thing, but it was definitely the best bang for buck in Ontario last month.

It was either that or a CBR300RA for just under 4k. I think he's glad he didn't settle on the 300 (since it had the same underpowered for its class problem as the 500).
Still though,

Not in germany, also taxes. He's lucky to get maybe 1500 before taxes, so around 1k net income. then he has to pay health insurance and income tax, with no option to get increased pay because it's fucking maccas. I bet in a few years there won't even be jobs left as mickey dee's because all the refugees want monies as well and some are even willing to work.

It's honestly not even a heavy motor anon. Around 400 pounds.
>>15318553
gas all the jews
>>15318543
I'd love to get Sozialhilfe desu
maybe I'll get an arbeitsunfähig Schein so I can only work 3 hours a day
would be good
so k get full pay with less work
>>15318550
>>15318557
dude the engine of a k7 is around 132lbs
>>15318557
Just because your gf weighs the same does not mean it isn't heavy.
>>15318559
Spar einfach auf ne Busa und wickel dich um nen Baum, dann bist du arbeitsunfähig :^)
What 400 pounds is considered heavy now? It would be considerably lighter than a boss hoss.
>>15318568
It honestly wouldn't even be a big deal anon. Just a lot of manlets here, it's 4chan.
>>15318568
a boss hoss is considered a good motorcycle now?
>>15318566
gute idea
Vater meint sowieso I'll die wenn I get a ninja also lel
>>15318573
No, but a sport/touring motorcycle powered by a k20 would be legendary
>>15318517
I bought a 2015 R3 for $4100 Kanuckistan two weeks ago in Ottawa. It's my first bike, so it's the greatest thing ever, but even still... to my noon senses, it felt better than the CBR 500 I test rode.
>>15318549
you know it, gotta use the old noodle to grow them big spuds
>>15318583
so you like fucking the fatties eh
>>15318587
pls stop posting bairds crusty used old sex toys
>>15318579
anon the engine alone weights almost as much as a complete sport bike
how do you think you can make a bike like that brake properly, let alone cornering
>>15318594
what is goldwing
>>15318588
Great argument anon because my body isn't fail and I can hold up a decent sized bike means I like fucking fatties.
>>15318587
That's a FRESH image, you at work?
>>15318600
fattie fucker
>>15318596
not a sport tourer
and still the engine is what, 250lbs?
>>15318594
You realize we're talking about a sport/touring bike right?
>>15318587
how'd you get that picture of michael schumacher
>32'C outside
>sitting in front of my workstation reading a book about riding
>3 weeks till the first of my superiors comes back from vacation
>gonna die of bore-out-syndrome
Is versys-anon here? Is a versys good at cornering or will you never get rid of chicken strips?
>>15318619
we heatwave nao
>>15318600
Nothing to do with holding a bike up. You can just support such weight while she rides you cowgirl.
Its ok anon. I don't mind the occasional hamplanet myself.
>>15318611
The boss hoss weighs 1300 pounds with a v8 anon. I'm sure Honda could get the k20 bike down to 800 pounds.
>>15318619
>>gonna die of bore-out-syndrome
going to turn your 125cc into a liter peter?
>>15318627
yes, the goldwing is 900lbs with a 250 engine because they felt like making it heavy
>>15318602
nah its 10:30pm and i have a long weekend, i just have taters around.
>>15318631
Yea it must just be the motor that makes that bike heavy.
>>15318631
>>15318611
then engine weighs 278lbs according to the service manual
>>15318644
damn thats less than your mom
>>15318639
ofc anon, 400lbs of the lightest engine known to man will be lighter than plastic shit
you'd have the godmachine that weights twice as a proper bike but hey, at least you have power nobody needs and engine life nobody gives a fuck about
>>15318644
Holy Christ that's not even a big difference than you stupid fagget bitchface.
Is it bad to leave a bike out in the rain?
>>15318648
why not just merge two 450cc dirt bike engines together instead of making litre bike engines?
it would be lighter and the same power but noooo they don't do it.
bike companies are boring it is simple.
>>15318662
How would you like if I left you out in the rain, when all you wanted to do is lay down and sleep?
>>15318662
Bikes should be cared for and provided with a safe environment to sleep in, not doing so is an act of cruelty in most countries.
>>15318669
>>15318673
I dont have a choice unfortunately. All the garage spots are taken
>>15318664
Because that's literally twice the maintenance and less reliable then just one with expensive ass parts Einstein.
>>15318684
>Not parking him inside your house/apartment
>>15318556
usually if you can miss a certain amount of hours in any programm before you are kicked out
he's basically telling them that he can't keep them from praying because lel german laws but if they don't turn up he's going to fail them
>>15318685
you would think they could do it with their race bikes at least, they make the racing dirt bike engines that nutty, no reason they can't do it to the road bike engines and then also make them publicly available, but as i said the companies are boring.
>>15318684
Get a cover for your bike then
>>15318684
put it inside somewhere, if its dirty clean it.
>>15318690

You gay or something?
>>15318700
you a homophobe or something?

Yes I am. Do you have a problem with that?

How does /o/ feel about KTM? I see a lot of conflicting opinions and would like a straight answer
>>15318723
everyone i have seen on /o/ that owns a ktm loves it, everyone that doesn't own one seems envious of that persons ktm so they say they are shit unreliable bikes
>>15318723
all you need to know in one image
>>15318723
KTM is a meme here
but srsly they are some models that are OK and on par with others on the market....and some that just seem to be assembled by a toddler in the poorest area of china and will split in half on you at 7k miles
maybe the 2015/16 models have rectified this.
>>15318732
>KTM
>Built so strong the frames break the strongest triple clamps on the market
meanwhile with japanese bikes.....
>>15318723
Never owned one but I like how most of them look
Two coworkers ride/ rode ktms, only things I recall are:
>when something breaks it's cheap to fix
>pulled it out at the start of the season and [some electric component] was broken, can't ride before getting it fixed
>maintenance at the shop is expensive
One was a 950 SE, the other one I don't know
>>15318732
>>15318738
I see a lot of dirtbikes in these images. What of the streetbikes? Namely the newer naked bikes?
>>15318749
They catch fire
>>15318749
very orange
>>15318723
talking dirt bikes, owned 3 KTM's, first one blew up after 75 hours, bearing blew up in the gear box and sent the gears through the top and bottom end of the engine.
second one lasted 300 hours on the original everything, did a rebuild at 300 hours and it has transferred oil from the gearbox to the engine ever since the cases were split, replace the gearbox seals, re seal the cases, fuck the gearbox seals, start over, costs thousands in labour to get the shop to do it and its more than the bike is worth at this point.
third one i still have after 7 years, final words would be they make good 2 strokes, shit 4 strokes as far as reliability goes, if you don't care about reliability they make the best bikes in general for dirt riding.
>>15318723
I love it.
>>15318766
>300 hours on original everything
That's your problem
You have to change the oil every ten hours and check valves every 20 hours and rebuild the motor every 100 hours.
>>15318749
>ktm
>mainly dirt bikes
you don't say?
