Help, looking to replace my helmet.
Requirements:
- Glass or carbon
- Flip up
- Transitions shield with pinlock (both at the same time)
Should have just got a spare visor for my helmet when they were available, but now it's too late so the hunt is on.

Hey dbt. Been riding for about a year and a half, mostly on my ninja 300 but i recently did a couple of hundred miles on an r6 and got spoiled. I want more powah now. Will be keeping the 300 cuz its an awesome little commuter, always gets me 60 mpg, but if you were to go out and buy a new bike (mainly for weekend riding in the mountains, some long distance but not much, might do a track day or 2) what would you get? Dont want to get anything used, personal preference. Mainly looking for something
>sporty
>fast
>fun
>comfortable enough for 200-400 mile ride
Ive looked at all the japanese 600s, and i kinda like the kawk 636. My 300 has been extremely reliable, no trouble in 13k miles, so hopefully that extends to other bikes in their lineup. Idk if id get a ninja 650 or sv650, would be comfier but i want something faster.
I also really like the daytona 675/675r, dat 3 cylinder is burry nice and it looks amazing imo. Reviews say it isnt comfy in the slightest tho, and nobody ever says much for european reliability.
Should i go full liter? s1000r/rr have a lot of cool shit that comes with them stock. The new R1 is pretty damn good too, and the panigales are drop dead gorgeous.
I guess the problem im running into is that there are too many bikes and not enough me to ride them. Any help/insight/other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Pic vaguely related

636 is most comfortable 600 in my experience, especially if you're tall like me, I believe it's more expensive than a 750 and approaching 1000s in price though.
GSX-R750 amazing powerband, especially if you're worried about a literbike but want more mambo under 9,000 RPM than a 600. Supreme value for money and suzuki often do 0% financing.
All 1000s are more comfortable than any 600 IMO, particularly the honda and the suzuki but they're also the most outdated, S1000RR is pretty good too but I've only sat on an S1000RR, I've never taken it for a spin. Bikes are being throttled by euro 4 now (ZX-10R) so get going and buy soon if you don't want to factor an ECU remap or fuel controller into the buying price now.
If It was me buying a new 1000 out of the current breed it'd have to be the S1000RR (for a road bike), the 2nd generation has had almost all of the reliability problems of the 1st gen (cam chain tensioners etc.) completely eliminated.
>>15385970
I didn't like Long Way Round
>>15385905
Track days?
Gixxer 600/CBR600 would be your comfiest options there. You'd probably do better with a 636 as it's a pretty good middle ground between compromising comfort for sportiness and compromising sportiness for comfort.
If you're not hitting a track and just looking to have fun and putt around town, your best bet would probably be an S1kRR or a GSXR, but if you're going for the GSXR I'd wait until the new one.
Panigales are not comfortable. R1s are pretty much the best literpeter you can get for track days, but you'll still have a much easier time (and probably more fun) on a 600.
tl;dr
Ninja 636 or BMW S1KRR if you want a literpeter for dat torque around town.

Thanks for your input. S1000rr consistently comes out on top in a lot of reviews, but its pretty damned expensive around where i am and whenever i spec it out on the bmw motorrad site it ends up being ~21k murica units. I feel like a literbike is way more than i will ever use, but then i kinda think to myself if i dont get a 1000cc then ill always wonder what owning one would be like. Ive never ridden one before obviously so ill have to go out and test one, maybe ill really like it. Hard to find the time though

It's a very expensive bike but it's the most comfortable liter peter you can buy. I was honestly debating a used one until I found out insurance on it would've been upwards of $700/mo for me. Between a 600 and a liter you lose a metric fuckton of low end torque, but on a track you'll probably run within a half a second between the two displacements in lap times since 600s are easier to handle and being in the high end means the torque difference isn't as noticeable, and the lighter everything comes into play.
Personally, if I were in your situation and could afford one, I'd look into a Buell 1190RX or something. Brand new they go for $13k, and it'll put up with any literbike you can get nowadays. The only time they ever really struggle is on track, as they're much more work on direction changes and shit than the lighter 600s.
Why the fuck does everybody on craigslist seem to either be missing the battery or require a carb cleaning? Are these just buzzwords for some other problem like a stator or bad wiring harness?
>>15386206
>best tune
EADGBE one octave down.
>>15386193
You can get one for about $15,000 here in the US, however, you have to special order them. BMW sends all their bikes fully equipped to the dealerships apparently and stripped of options means you have to have it built and shipped that way.

It looks like it works as in "makes a sound" but it looks so floppy. I'm guessing the truss rod is completely backed off and intonation above the 10th or so fret is questionable. Pickups might have been lowered as well because all that string movement probably caused them to strike the pole pieces at first. It's a cool experiment but nothing I would want to try to live with.
Standard tuning, 10-56 strings.
Drop tuning a shit.
Fite me.
>>15386263
Fuck off
>>15386255
Washburn D8. They don't make them anymore but it seems like it's the sturdiest guitar ever made. Baritone tuning doesn't rattle, I've had it re-strobed once in 11 years of ownership, and it's been through multiple tunings and probably upwards of $500 in strings over the years and still sounds fucking gorgeous.
>>15386209
But didnt EBR go out of business for a few years? Cant imagine finding parts will be easy if something goes wrong. I dont want to buy one and then have buell go out of business permanently a year or two down the line... And yeah, comfort would be more important to me than lap times. After i get this bike im going to start working on a decent car, and the next bike after that will be an adv/dual sport, so this will be my last sport bike for many years unless i suddenly win the lottery. Need it to last a good while.
>>15386217
Theres no way i could not spec out an s1000rr to under 20k if i get one haha. Too much cool shit that i could probably put on myself for much cheaper, but a fool and his money are soon parted or something like that.

Basically, Harley fucked them over big time, and then once the economy crashed they decided that sport bikes weren't profitable enough and axed buell, despite never really giving buell a chance to make REAL bikes.
>yfw buell wanted to make a turbocharged bike making 150hp and 120lb/ft of torque in the late 90s and Harley said no
>yfw the price of the fully loaded turbo model would've been roughly $18k
Harley fucked them over. You'd be doing fine to get a new one. Plus, they're not stuck with the shitty neutered sportster engines they used to have, now they have rotax engines.
>>15386284
I used drop C# for a couple of years in my angsty teenager phase. It's nice for chuggachugga-only music I guess, which can be nice.

>filter by filename
>filter all images that have /0/ and /1/ in their filename
since all the images you are posting have zero or one, they end up filtered

Takes time and patience but pretty much anyone can do it.
It's very rewarding and not too expensive either compared to bikes (depending on the Instrument of course).
Do it!

Carbs aren't hard to figure out, the will of the carb god is.
JUST. DO IT.

So you end up filtering nearly every image posted as they usually contain a 1 or 0.
Like my latest cum tribute for example.

damn I can't belive a shitposter could get this mad just because his images are being filtered, guess I'll also give it a try
>>15386407
Depends what you want to play. Classical is a good choice if you're semi-serious about gitting gud and ESPECIALLY good for training your ear. If you're into rock music electric will be more fun though. Ask the guitar general on /mu/.

Tell us about this rule you put into 4chanX to filter one minute apart image posts.
