I'm thinking of getting a windshield of some sort for my bike (pic related).
I don't know anyone with a fared bike and I don't really want to test drive stuff I won't buy.
Can anyone weigh in on the difference between no windshield, a low sport bike windshield, and a taller windshield? I'm concerned with wind noise more than anything.. It's pretty bad with my modular helmet, and I wanna know if a windshield would help, and if so, which style.
Hyosung GT650, so chances are I'll be jerry rigging a shield or buying a universal one since fitted parts aren't easy to come by.

Ive asked this before but I am again, if my bike has a 108 link chain stock will using a 110 link be bad? I could cut it down but I'm gonna be lazy if I can. I'm going up a tooth in the rear if that matters too.
>>15446631
post your photo then, I just threw these two together because I had nothing else
will look for more madmen, like this one dude imitating the Street sign where he stands on the bike
even if not a dbt poster
>>15446645
Cute. But it runs, drives, doesn't burn oil or otherwise do anything wrong, and I paid less than a grand for it safetied in Ontario with 10k km on it.
Tell me how I'd be better off with something different as my first bike, followed closely with a response to my actual question if you wouldn't mind.
What's a good bike to make into a street legal off road bike? I don't want it to be super small displacement. I was thinking something around 500cc. I'd like it to be under $2000, and it doesnt have to be in perfect condition.
I'm asking because a friend and I were thinking about getting into going innawoods on bikes. I don't know very much about this kind of stuff, but I hope that you can kind of get what im saying.
>Pic related, but I don't want to carry that much stuff
I was thinking about like a KLR650 or WR250 but they are both very expensive.
The bolt came out and drained my tranny oil while i was riding and i stopped because of the horrible sound it was making
Is my transmission rekt?
>>15446619
Thanks
>>15446660
>Cute. But it runs, drives
>But it runs, drives

Maybe you should try riding it instead??
Anyway a tall shield is what you are after, that is if you want to be upright and don't want to tuck in behind the screen all the time.

The only bikes I can think of that would be that cheap is XR400/600, or XT/DR350.

You gonna get in the fammigghia?
>>15446650
It was on my old phone...
It's the Shiver in front of the "pls no bikes" sign
>>15446702
That was my assumption, but I've seen places where they say you end up with more wind noise due to vortices and stuff coming off the windshield, especially since it's not exactly going to be designed for this bike.
I was curious if the shorter ones would act like bug deflectors and kind of redirect the air enough to lessen the noise. It definitely has a more upright riding position, so leaning over is uncomfortable.
>>15446720
You talking about the secret famigghia?
>>15446726
>>>>a
>>15446550
Get 500 and up. Don't settle for a 300 and below ever.
>>15446669
DR650, XR650L, KLR 650 are your best options, although the KLR is pigfat as fuck.
Don't shy too much away from the smaller displacement bikes. They will be worse on the highway but more capable in the shitty stuff when you really need it.

Hi everyone, I haven't been here for a while (at last 6 months)
Today I crashed my bike in a mountain pass like a noob, because my mind wasn't fully focused on what I was doing
I'm ok, the bike isn't too damaged
I'm really happy that I was wearing all my gears, it's probably saved my body
I just wanted to post this here as a daily reminder
Riding a motorcycle is dangerous, we have to be concentrated all the time, and if you don't feel it, don't go outside of your limits
Ride safe, dear /dbt/

dunno if you're still around, probably not.
Anyway the answer is 'it depends'.
>pic related reduces chest wind by about 20%
>medium sized generic windshields give mixed results
A well placed one doesn't need to be that big and will reduce chest wind to a mild drumming on your helmet. A poorly placed one will vibrate, be really tall/ugle, and have a buffeting windblast hit you at neck height. It's a lot of trial an error with aftermarket screens. Also you won't have anything to keep wind from trying to pry your knees open at high speeds.
>>15446669
ex dr650 owner here
>totally capable and satisfactory (if boring) road bikes

I'd recommend a 250-400cc 4 stroke if you want to have something manageable offroad. Also adventure gear weighs a cuntload so leave it in the truck when you go offroading.

>>15447479
I have the opposite problem. It just won't fucking rain here. My garden is drying out so fast and even the water table is getting affected. Last I heard we're 10 inches under what we're supposed to have.
>>15446669
Get a decent DR650, you should be able to find one for about $2,000 depending on where you live. They are as good, if not better than KLRs, but KLR650 is a total meme bike, so people charge way too much for them
>fz-09 with ECU Flash and aftermarket suspensionj
What's our opinion on fz-09 that are fixed to a respectable level? I'm not looking to fucking hoon at 135mph, but I'm digging how open they feet for a standard/streetfighter. I fucking hate anything that hunches me over
>buy helmet cam
>ride around a lot with camera recording everything
>nothing interesting ever happens
>get home, delete everything on the memory card
Before I got the helmet cam I saw all sorts of crazy shit while riding my bike -- wild animals running out in front of me, dogs chasing me, I once even saw 2 rednecks in different pickup trucks yelling at each other at a red light until one of them jumped out of his truck with a bowie knife in his hand and started running after the other guy as he just kinda drove off...

>>15447748
Not all the time, I went squidding yesterday (hiking boots, levis, t-shirt, helmet, gloves) and all I got was a sunburn with odd tan-lines due to the full gauntlet gloves.
>>15447679
What the fuck, that's not even a corner, that's just a bend in the road. You don't even need to slow down for that.
>>15447596
you'd spend about as much as it it would cost to get a decent bike, not worth it IMO, i went for the cheaper fz-07, only slight regret not getting something off road capable, pretty sweet bike tho.
>>15447814
noob rider, he says in the video description that he didnt think he could lean the bike over more because hes a tard
>>15447784
Because Kawasaki made it so.
>>15447785
No heat soak into tires, brakes or me from the radiator. I prefer it being that bright.
>>15447795
i got that too when from riding to the shops. dont go over 25 so not worth the heat stroke of wearing my leather jacket, i have crashed higher speeds on a bicycle and was fine.
>>15447878
thats wind burn uleh
why don't people in countries that aren't australia acknowledge wind burn?
shit hurts worse than sunburn.
>>15446355
so when I hit 6th gear on my 250 I sit at pretty low speeds on the highway and I want to go faster.
what fast bikeu can I get for 3500 or under?
what do you guys recommend?

I hate the procedures to get a license in Canada, but I still think it's better than letting any tard ride a bike.

Hello /dbt/ how your night?
>>15447884
One of the tests on my license was going through a corner as fast as you possibly could and the instructor would be half way in the corner, at a random point he pulled a flag up and you had to counter steer then brake as hard as you could and come to a full stop without putting your feet down then continue around the corner.

>>15448001
I only ask because I used tinder for 3 weeks with 0 matches even though I made a bio and put a few pictures on there
that's pretty good though. Are your matches usually biker girls themselves?

Just a few, mostly i get hipster girls, some white girls and some nerdy girls.
>>15448011
Top speed is a hair under 100mph, older ones would probably do 110 or so.
>>15448015
Three more horsepower and a bigger rev range (13k if '08+, 14 or 15 if pre-gen) does wonders.

>>15447960
>implying anyone wants to sit on my bike
>>15448039
idk, I just don't trust any of the higher cc bikes on cg and the dude selling the 250 was trustworthy enough.
I wanted to learn maintenance and how to handle myself on a baiku for at least a few months before upgrading. I'm not tired of it yet but I certainly want something faster already and it's been a little more than a month since I've owned it.
>>15448039
LAMS 650's started at 5-6k and I didn't want a Hyosung 650.
Found a cheapish '11 Ninjette so I bought it, no regrets other than it doesn't sound like an MC22.
>>15448042
They're pretty similar, you're not missing much. Ninjette is faster but the CBR has EFI and a thumper torque curve.
>>15448015
my gt250 is (if only slightly) more powerful than than a cbr. for a first bike (lams) im glad i got a 2013 model for only $1700. now just need to not be poor so i can get something tastier
>>15448042
Probably, but you have to try to take stuff out of tinder and get her number at the right time to it to work. Then you can just go out with and see what happends.

>>15448110
Yep, the market here is overpriced compared to the mainland.
>>15447455
It's an '06, pre-efi.
What's so wrong with these things? I read up first. The only quality issues they had was the magneto windings, and that was replaced by the previous owner (showed it to me, was burnt as expected). The only other issue is parts availability, which hasn't been an issue yet (nothing wrong) but I see it being annoying in the future.
Even the maintenance manual is Hayne's quality except for the Google translations.

>>15448133
It looks like it only needs a new battery and posibly a carb clean.

>Cuckfe racer
Ayy lmao!
>>15447862
So if I'm going to spend that much, might as well get like a Stripple?
>>15448133
>no title
yeah, good luck with that
>>15448124
Not 100% sure yet but I've been lusting after ZX9R's and late 90's GSX-R SRAD's pretty bad.
>>15448131
The CT is more of a scooter than a bike because the design of it is closer to that of an "underbone" scooter than a traditional motorbike.
If you want a "classic" looking bike maybe look for SR250/400's, W650 or 70's CB's.
As far as I know a cafe racer is an old UJM (universal Japanese motorcycle, think 60's/70's Honda CB) that has been customised to look like the "cafe racers" of the 50's (?) who modified their bikes with low handlebars and single seat tails in the pursuit of less weight and more performance.
It's frowned upon here because people try to emulate this style but do it poorly, resulting in a hacked up classic bike, which triggers some people.
>>15448162
Cheers
>>15448166
Thanks for the info anon, I'll take a look at those
>>15448166
Cuckfe racers were never ujms, they used brit surplus bikes like bsa, nortons and triumps. Jap bikes started gaining popularity in early 70s, probably late 60s but cafe racer culture was almost dead.
>>15448166
Go for a SRAD 750. Awesome bike...
I miss mine :(
>>15448158

>>15448191
Astute observation, want to take my gf for a ride while I craft my microbrew?
>>15448202
only if you're planning on making stouts
Are there any Japanese anons on /dbt/? It's such a big motorcycle producer and yet I never hear about their motorcycle culture besides all the Bosozoku shit that gets posted all the time. Do people ride sportbikes or dirt bikes there?
>>15447494
Well it let up and I went out, but it started raining again. Riding in the city at night with a light drizzle is pretty comfy. I almost dropped the bike at a red light because my foot slipped.
motorcycles are the only thing I can think of where being a manlet is an advantage
>>15448374
think again m8
Is KTM the designated shitting bike?
>>15448374
i'm 6ft
might ride a grom tomorrow
we'll see what happens
>>15448225
No. I prefer double IPA's that are really hoppy.
>>15448382
I want to be part of a grom bikie gang
>>15448292
>Tfw no Blackbird
>>15448398
Double IPAs are too sweet m8. If you want full hoppyness you need a regular IPA
>>15448413
There's some squid who lives near me with a fucking pristine Blackbird, it's a damn shame.
>>15448421
hnnnnnnnnngggggggg

I want to ride a Sumo or a touring bike but my fucking short legs dude! lucky to be able to ride those giants desu
>>15448427
Indeed.

Why are people so afraid to lean their bikes...? Did they not take the MSF course??

It's a blessing and a curse. I can ride anything but am comfortable on almost nothing
>>15447721

>>15448442
>tfw 5'7''
>sv650 fits perfect
I want a comfy adventure bike, but most of the ones I check out are 35'' and above seat height.
>>15448417
Only if you don't brew them yourself
>>15448453
Once you sit on them they drop an inch or so.
>>15447960
>borrow their phone
>take picture
>say that's the before
>beat the living shit out of them
>take their girl
>>15448459
But I still have a 31 inch inseam, unless these behemoth tall bikes are dropping 4 comfortable inches, it'll be a game of balancing at stops for a while. I'm determined though.
>>15448067
>have $20,000 cash
>suck dicks for free
>buy Harley anyway
>>15448454
Send me one of your beers m8. I'l r8 it.
>>15448453
Maybe a Versys? DR650 is a good choice if you want to build an ADV bike out of a dual sport.
>>15448472
Im 6ft with a 32in inseam and ride a vstrom easy. Bare foot I can't flatfoot it but with shoes or boots on its fine.
>>15448453
I know a grill who's 5'6" and rides a 1200GS, you'll be fine m8.
>>15448481
If I lived in murrica I would gladly send you some, but I don't and shipping times plus heat cycles would most prob guarantee it to be shit by the time you received it. Not quite absolute shit, but it certainly wouldn't be at its best.
What is the most comfy adventure bike?
>>15448502
CRF1000L
Would it make more sense to go:
250 > 650 > 1199/1299
or
250 > 600 > 1199/1299
>>15448502
You're mum, I've taken her on heaps of "adventures". Fagget!
>>15448494
Damn, I really need to start brewing some of my own.
>>15448502
Probably 1200GS but it's about the weight and size of the sun and expensive as fuck
>>15448515
250 > 650 > 1199/1299
As the 600s are brutal
>>15448515
GS500 > gitgud > 1000cc+
>>15448502
Probably the GS, that wacky suspension setup must have some benefit and dat smooth ass boxer engine.
>>15448502
BMW R1200GSA
>>15448520
>but it's about the weight and size of the sun and expensive as fuck
It's lighter than my 1150GS though. Who cares about the costs of an adventure bike though? They're all expensive as fuck, I bought mine last year for €3500 with 101k on the clock, it's from 2001.
>>15448528
>dat smooth ass boxer engine.
Which is a shame, who the fuck makes a boxer smooth as butter?
>>15448520
What about F800gs?
>>15448521
wait what
pls explain
>>15448537
>It's lighter than my 1150GS though.
The 1150 is only ~500lb though, the 1200GS adventure is 580 or so.
>Who cares about the costs of an adventure bike though?
People who buy them? Plus the BMW isn't as easy to maintain on the road as some of the others available.
>>15448551
We're going for comfy, not light or easy to trail fix. 580 doesn't seem like a lot, but I don't ride offroad and gravel/dirt is probably the worst I'd take it on.
>>15448551
>The 1150 is only ~500lb though, the 1200GS adventure is 580 or so.
The R1150 is 249kg (548lb) wet, the 1200GS 229-238kg (448-505lb), the 1200GSA is 256kg (564lb)
They don't differ that much.
>>15448565
>We're going for comfy, not light or easy to trail fix.
So just get a touring bike.
>>15448573
Odd that the numbers are so different depending on the website.
>>15447721
nah, it was out in the woods. It was even more pathetic than this one. Young kid.
>>15448583
>Odd that the numbers are so different depending on the website.
I both picked them from Wikipedia, they might not be 100% accurate. But I did ride a R1200GSA, and it really doesn't feel heavier than mine, rather lighter.
