Such simplicity, such masterful design and reliability.
No wonder the GS500 remained basically unchanged for 27 years. They knew they designed a great basic bike to fulfill the needs of the everyday man.

Nice, except for the tassels. They are gay.

What? The GS500 has never been FI. Only changes were in like 1994, I think. Better brakes and higher spring rate on the front.

>hurr dis biek has been production for a long time virtually unchanged so it must be good!
Post-purchase rationalisation's a bitch, hey.
They kept it around for so long because it was more cost effective to keep it cheap and nasty than wasting money on updating it, let alone designing a new one.
>>15324810
Bike maintenance is fun

>hurr dis biek has been production for a long time virtually unchanged so it must be good!
That is true tho, you are legit retarded.
Tried my buddy's Street Triple RX last night, did a nice power willy when I nailed it.
Man I want a bigger bike, maybe with this referendum out of the way we can ditch the stupid EU licenses.

Not really. It's not even particularly reliable for a street bike, has a lower top speed, is heavy for a dual sport/motard, has a shitty gear spread, lots of vibrations, uncomfortable seat, etc.

Why are there no motovloggers that ride cruisers?
tfw American
>>15324884
Because Crusiers fucking blow
>>15324808
Because they're more expensive than my DR650 both in purchase price and maintenance costs, long term reliability is questionable (compared to Jap dual sports at least), and their dealer network sucks compared to the Jap motorcycle manufacturers.
Ok faggots
Long time no see..
What do you think?

yeah just all modern vehicles and racing use FI, confirmed for dog shit.
>>15324893
>>my outdated technology is well maintained and works therefore its better than new technology.
Yes because it doesn't require a myriad of sensors to function.
>>15324884
Hunter Honda often rides some variety of cruiser, not sure what it is though.
>>15324808

Good luck fixing a FI problem for under $500 if you can even figure out how to diagnose and work on it yourself.
>>15324919
Two Smokes should have been injected since they were first used, like diesels.

yes exactly. some people even try and convert old 2 strokes to FI.
>>15324925
i disagree, 2 smokes are simple and so is a carby, flood an efi bike and its fucked you have to pick it up on a trailer, flood a bike with a carby, turn it upside down, drain the water out, start it up and ride home
>>15324921
>FI never starts acting up
>Spend $0 on repairs

EFI us the devil
>>15324934
>flooding it
Are you talking about flooding it with fuel or like swamping it and flooding with water?
>>15324921
>fixing a FI problem
Poor carb fags. They think FI is as unreliable as their ancient technology.
>>15324942
water, water kills efi pretty quickly and its not something you can fix yourself
>>15324937
>>FI never starts acting up
They do and it's $$$$$. You probably haven't been driving long enough to need to fix a fucky FI.
> in increased fuel efficiency
Daily reminder, original Honda Civics achieved 40 mpg, 3 liter corvairs achieved 30 mpg, Datsun 510s can get 35 mpg etc. Stop basing your opinions on massive V8's
>>15324934
>flood an efi bike
Although this can almost never happen.
>flood a bike with a carby
All you have to do is WOT while cranking and it will eventually fire from a flood.
>>15324949
You just drain out the water like any other bike.
>>15324954
If sediment touches sensors or wires EFI will never work right again in the best scenario.
>>15324954
Fill it up with rice once the water's out of it, she'll be right.

>>15324951
>civics 40 mpg
yeah they also didn't have to deal with insane modern emission controls and shitty fuel quality.
not a valid comparison.
>>15324967
They have their exists and entrances, and one moped in its time plays many parts
The only EFI problems I've ever heard are
>help I installed a straight through exhaust and put holes in my airbox and didn't retune now my bike runs bad
and
>help I bought a ducati
>>15324968
Such as? Also, daily reminder that fuel injectors are more mechanically simple than carburetors. It's probably why the first thought isn't what to do when they break, unlike carbs.
>>15324967
>el chipo grande tuning exhaust
Where are you from
>>15324970
>bawwwwwwwwwww my gas sucks
Daily reminder old cars had manual ignition timing.
Daily reminder that to match emissions in the 70's you had low compression, choked engines pushing exhaust out of a crude cat.
Bitch about emissions when you own a 4.7 liter v8 that makes 120hp at the crank.
>>15324981
>daily reminder that fuel injectors are more mechanically simple than carburetors
Injectors are one piece to a complicated puzzle and we've had almost a hundred years of familiarity with carburetors.
>break, unlike carbs.
I crashed my bike and it smacked the whole carb assembly to the left by four milimeters, they run better then ever. Stop this meme that Carbs are complicated hardware that never works.

You missed the boat mate.
Not only does youtube pay absurdly low nowadays but It's also swamped with channels all competing for subscribers.
You'd make a couple cents for tens of thousands of views.
>>15325023
i used to watch them. i bought a drift and made a few videos. it's pretty fucking hard to ride and talk and be entertaining.
if you can't talk you could get guud by amazing video editing and amazing riding, but that's might be even harder.

Because i can fix any problem on a carburetor for $20
If something borks in EFI the labor to even find the fucking problem would cost more than $20.

RoyalJordanian -- not really a motovlogger in the traditional sense but he puts out good content.
billmaa -- his glory days as a motovlogger are way behind him but the BWOM series that he did with his friend over the course of many years is still epic. BWOM = By Way Of Motorcycle, he and his friend rode all 50 states of the US on motorcycles over many separate trips taking almost a decade to complete.

Churchill Customs
serpentza and laowhy86 are western vloggers who have been living in China for a number of years. They got together a while back and created the Churchill Customs channel due to both of them having a similar western background and a love of working on and riding motorcycles. Their individual channels are mostly regular vlogs (except for a few pretty epic solo motorcycle trips by serpentza) but the Churchill Customs channel that they've put together is mostly motovlogs of them riding around in China and talking about their experiences there and their perceived differences between living in China vs living in the west. They also just finished filming a moto-travelling documentary for an English language tv station there in China where they took a motorcycle trip through much of Southern China that I'm really looking forward to.
I used to watch Jakethegardensnake and Chaseontwowheels and some others but I just got tired of them.

>>15325050
I still can't get my head around the fact that you couldn't keep it together until your Probezeit was vorbei, especially considering your lack of monies.
Seriously what the fuck.
At least when I crashed my bike I had (barely) enough money to get going again.
You brought this on yourself m8.

It was in an 80 zone on the Autobahn, I was going 94 factoring in tolerances (so speedo was showing 100).
Maybe you should get yourself a brain bot and install Common Sense CurrentYear Edition (tm), it's a neat little program giving you a rough idea where you shouldn't be speeding.
If you get blitzed like 3 times in such a short amount of time you were either
> driving like an asshole
> driving faster than you should have in an area that was very likely to have speed traps
> driving 24/7 under intense time pressure
Given that you even got points, and the fact that you're a neet with no obligations, I'd say options 1 and 2 are likely.
TL;DR
Don't be a fuckhead -> don't lose license.
>>15325108
Just a few dudes bragging to the camera about how harsh the ride was and how they're so tough for not stopping. I was not impressed.

>>15325174
I'm just not a fuckhead who goes way too fast on roads he doesn't know and hasn't even checked for speed cameras.
Well actually I do exactly that, but only on roads whose layout and the area in which they are make it improbable to get blitzed.
I mean, I can understand getting unlucky and getting caught doing 35 over once. But three times in such a short amount of time? And not learning from your mistakes and still speeding like a demon when you don't even have money... whew lad.
>>15325180
> have fun
Go fast on roads that I've checked for speed traps, go fast on roads that are very unlikely to have them (i.e. shitty backroads close to main roads that often have speed traps).
If you get ticketed for that amount, and get infractions, AND don't have money AND are in danger of losing your license, you should have the self-control to NOT FUCKING SPEED FOR A FEW MONTHS JESUS CHRIST.
You could also go as fast as you want on a track; in the long run that might be cheaper and less of a hassle than getting ticketed and losing your license several times a year.
And I speed 24/7, technically. 20 over is pretty safe though; you can often spot blitzers and brake before they activate, they sometimes don't even activate at that speed especially when there are cars nearby, and you don't have to pay a fortune if you do get caught by one. Also don't speed so much in a car as front-only blitzers won't get you on a bike, but in a car they will.

>Even my carbed bike has one.
Yes but the carbs don't adjust A/F based on engine temperature.
>>15325047
EFI isn't a new technology. Carbs, however, are an increasingly obsolete technology. Stop thinking EFI has the reliability of carbs.
Also, all those things can be easily diagnosed by an OBDII scanner, unlike carbs. That's when they do fail (they almost never do).
>>15325221
>what is choke
it's only manual, but that doesn't mean they don't adjust the ratio
>>15325321

Is there a reason my cbr600rr is so snatchy at lower rpm? I've only noticed it recently after owning the bike 6 months.
Clutch is tensioned correct, chain is lubed, throttle was serviced 4 months ago.

>be riding DR650 in Texas Hill Country twisties
>come up on a group of 3 Harley riders
>they go SLOW AS FUCK in the corners
>following behind them I feel like I'm not even leaning in the twisties
>as soon as corner ends and they come up on a straightaway they all go WOT up to 90MPH+ so I have no chance to pass them
>I always catch up with them at the next set of twisties
Fuck that was annoying, I was doing 70-75 MPH on the straights and they would leave me in the dust but as soon as I got to a set of twisties I'd have to slow down to 15MPH and putt along behind them.

I've been reading dbt for about two months and still haven't figured out who wranon is, google isn't very helpful either, could you explain please?
>>15325512
me
>he actually Googled wr anon
>>15325523
Google got me on a dbt archive of KitKat's oil changing shenanigans
>>15324835
It's a sign!
Time to become a scootscoot.
Well depending on your laws. In here basically you need bicycle license for one (cheap written exam), so people who get theirs confiscated (mostly due to DUI) become scootfags.
>>15325529
oh fuck
>>15325536
no way
it's still illegal
>>15325523
So why are you a meme
>>15325541
He first was underageb&
Then he dropped out of school to become a welder
Afaik he's been neeting around since
>>15325541
because to meme is to dream
>>15325543
Cool, thanks for explaining
>>15325541
because I forced myself onto the dbt, am autistic (literally) and rode the slowest piece of shit of bike (wr 125r) over the Ring
it takes much more to become a meme than just to be
>>15325554
can confirm
>>15325051
>>15325567
>rode the slowest piece of shit of bike
the wr is one of the better 4stroke 125cc bikes tho
Someone need some old Racetec´s? They´re still pretty good in the middle. kek
>>15325575
well that's true, it's still fucking slow.
calling it a piece of shit was actually undeserved, it was a pretty cool bike. for a 125.
>>15325540
How bad it is then? Do you have to wait some time to get it back, or just have to do exams again?
Also, which one did you loose A2 or B?
Can you drive e-bikes?
Now i'm worried i should see if i dont have probation time after my exam as well...
>>15324838
>Mfw same
Only difference is that I can't write or speak it, except for going "MAMA MIA LASAGNA SPAGHETTI RIGATONI"
>>15325596
if you lose your license you lose everything
not allowed on any vehicle that requires license, even forklifts
maybe in two months or something, after I did a test again and paid 500 bucks for a psycho test that tells me I'm road worthy

In your honor, anon

HYPE
Kinda worried about my chain being loose though.
>>15325832
so tighten it?
>>15325838
I can't, the axle nut is so tight it might as well be welded to the swingarm. I literally lifted the back of the bike trying to loosen it.
any of you fags coming down here?
>>15325847
So orient your wrench / breaker bar so that you're pushing down instead of lifting up and you'll be able to break it loose. You can kinda stomp on the wrench handle to get it started most of the time.
>>15325852
I don't think I can ride my bike across an ocean m8. Have fun and take lots of pics.
>>15325855
There's shit in the way like footpegs and, on the other side, the exhaust. I'm not taking that shit off. I can't believe it's supposed to be tightened with this much torque.
>>15325863
Do you not have an impact wrench?
>>15325863
You should do it caus if it is that thight your ball bearings go to hell.
I´m not sure if this was right, im not from an us speaking country so forgive me.
>>15325880
You're right; the axle nut being too tight can cause your wheel bearings to fail prematurely.
>>15325859
i wish you could, i don't know anyone here m8
>typical dbt fag
>>15325865
No.
>>15325880
>>15325888
I'll take a look at it with dad next weekend and if necessary I'll take it to the mechanic who changed the tires and tell him to fix this shit.
>>15325897
Where you at?
DBT is much more spread out than you think
>>15325175
That's a nice bike. When u get bored with it lower the back, chop off the fenders and bob it out nigger :-)
>>15325900
Mate,
Take a Wrench and put a long pipe on it this should work, if not, jump on it.
>>15325897
I went to a Dual Sport / Adventure bike rally a couple years back that I'd read about on a forum. I showed up not knowing a single person and had a great time riding muddy trails, camping, and drinking beer with everyone in the evenings. Everyone there was really cool.
I hope your rally experience is as fun as mine was.

No problems yet, though the brakes squeaking a little is concerning.
But holy shit, these overpants fucking suck. They're big and baggy and soak my jeans with sweat.
I'm always going to be ATGATT because I know first hand what crashing feels like, but wearing gear in the Texas summer fucking sucks.
The mesh jacket isn't terrible, but I really hate these pants.
>>15325972
could you not find overpants with mesh panels that have good airflow?
>>15325982
These do have mesh panels. Maybe I'm not opening the right vents, but still. They feel like the snow pants I had when I was a kid in Washington.
>>15325992
Ah well that sucks. I've got a set of textile motorcycle pants (regular armored riding pants, not overpants) that have huge mesh panels and allow plenty of airflow during the summer here in TX but there's no way I'd be able to fit them over a pair of jeans.
>>15324848
>Same, i have high idle/choke lever combo on the handlebar and idle speed knob on the carb, couldn't be easier.
Translation: microchips are scary, I want to manually adjust levers and knobs and pretend I can do it better than a few nanograms of Silicon.

That's a bad meme

>>15325936
You voted leave right anon?
>>15326055
Harley is worse than nobike unless it's one of their cooler sport bikes
>>15326065
>>15326075
Looks good but i bet it handles like shit.
>>15326084
I wish I knew firsthand, would ride given the chance.
>>15326093
Only good Harley desu
>>15326075
Did they buy the steel for that frame from Home Depot and have an intern weld it together?
