Fuck zx4 spamming
Nth for lowside
>>26667236Lol, its a cool bike!>>26667238What happened
That summer feel
should i brehs? seems like its a more comfy r6 without the r6 pricing. Very cheap around me, as if nobody knows what it is
Tomorrow is the first service for this thing.
One more paycheck until baiku!>gonna get a DR650
>>26667246It's pretty meh, much more detuned than an r6. >>26667248Hell yeah anon, those are cool. I'm waiting on what kawi and yama are bringing this year. I want a supersport. (and a 2t dirt bike)
>>26667243I did a slide
First for HELL YEAH BROTHERS
how legal/difficult would it be to build a fake bike, or perhaps buy a nice bike but remove the motor etc and set up a cheap/fake one but it has a bomb in it and when a thieving nigger tries to start it, it explodes and kills him. And then you plant 4-5 across the city so that niggers don't dare steal bikes anymorenever had a bike stolen but just the thought pisses me the fuck off. You don't mess with a mans vehicle.
>>26667265is it even possible to own one of these without being atleast 300 lbs and extremely homosexual?
>>26667273Mega projection. probably a zx4r fag
>>26667273Nope. I'm 330 easy
Yamaha fz-09 or Suzuki dl650 ?
>>26667246I'm contemplating these aswell. Seems like a jack of all master of none deal that's pretty cheap with plenty top-end power.
>>26667236TruDid that guy claiming he had a deposit on one ever post it? Or was he just a shill
>>26667276the zx is the other end where you have to be extremely gay, nonwhite and 100 lbs. Atleast the indian is a southerner bike, be it mexicans or whites.
>>26667285Can confirm. Am southerner
It was a matter of time. Ktm has finally added dlc to their dirtbikes. If only they weren't so good
>>26667284I haven't followed this at all, but why would you get one of these instead of a 6r or higher? Or just a 400 ninja?
>>26667270There are bait bicycles that work on this concept by putting a taser in the seat or the handlebars.
aaaaaaah why is it such a fucking ordeal to get a motorcycle licence in the EU I just wanna ride a baiku before half the fucking season is over >literally don't have a drivers test until August 27th
>>26667291The main reason would be it has cheaper insurance than any 600, allegedly. And that it makes a bunch power with mods. But even then it's less than a 600 while weighing about the same
>>26667293yeah thats all fun and games I want them to die.
>>26667299So put bigger capacitors in the taser.
>>26667293Can I put that system on my own bike and turn it on ever time I park it
I'm tearing my eyes out because of this.Do I NEED a peak on my helmet if I'm doing off roading or should I just get a normal road helmet?
>>26667244whats it feel like
>>26667331No the reson to buy an offroad helmet is for better air flow and visibility. During slow moving riding that is physically intense having that better air flow really helps. The visor also helps stop roost from getting in your face
>>26667247You going to do it yourself?My fourth service is due already.
>>26667331No you don't need a peak. You do however need a helmet with a lot of ventilation. Off-roading is typically slower than street riding, so there is much less air rushing through the helmet to stop the visor fogging up. A street helmet won't be great off road.Pic is best of both.
>>26667297its half the insurance cost of a 600. It weighs way less than a 600 with those mods, and obviously isn't going to make as much power. You're trading that with agility. Same reason 1000s handle way worse than 600s
>>26667347>>26667357Yeah I'm aware of the better ventilation and visibility. I'm just trying to compromise and get a helmet that's cheap enough to replace my currently one which kinda sucks all around.Seems like there is no good adventure helmets under 400$ and its just looking like I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and get an expensive helmet. Which I don't particularly fancy because its gonna get scratched and bashed around a lot when I'm gonna go around in the woods.Thought I'd just get a not as expensive but solid road helmet for off road use.
>>26667352I'll take it to a shop for warranty reasonsOtherwise would've done the service already.
>>26667216Just spent my paycheck on motorcycle shitAgain
>>26667373>Seems like there is no good adventure helmets under 400$You don't like the Bell MX9 Adventure? Never had a problem with mine.
>>26667284I can post it if you want lol. I cancelled though, have some college stuff to worry about for now. I'm gonna wait for all the 2024 stuff to drop and make a decision between the zx4r, zx6r, or whatever yama releases
>>26667280Help, frens
>>26667372I've seen different quotes for it some nearly as much as a 600. And they could gow up once new rider start crashing them. As far as weight goes it weighs more than some 600. I get that it has abs as standard but most people don't care if their bike has it or not. Sure you can make it lighter with a different exhaust but you can do that to a 600 as well. You might be able to get it fractionally lighter for slightly less money over but personally I think it fills a niche that a but overly specific. We'll see how it sells in the long run I guess
>>26667396For sure will have to see. Where I am, the quote was 10500 OTD or so, and insurance was 1400 (versus 2300 for a 600). Hopefully they release it in real colors and quantity next month so we can get reviews.
>>26667406why did he do that?
>>26667411press launch of the R9 something a few years ago.
>>26667390Haven't read anything that great about it but yeah perhaps its the only half decent competitor in that price bracket. Still don't know if I should bite the bullet and get an expensive one or cheap out for now until I get a better job
>>26667289who cares desu. Its not like they would've charged less if you had to buy the part. Now u can maybe hack it in too>>26667331no peak is needed >>26667159i wore it once and it was way quieter than my HJC non modular. Seems comfy, but it was too big. Im waiting for the smaller one now. The sunglasses seemed great to me. I don't have a Cardo etc. My hjc wasn't the best helmet so this seems really good. >>26667192waah get rekt civvie
BUSAAAAAAAA
>>26667388Good man!
>>26667434right in the busay
>>26667430>civvieHow boot of you to say
Why are assembly fees not in the base price of a new bike? If I get a car I'd never dream of paying for the factory to put wheels on as a separate fee.
>>26667442Because they all come from China in tiny little pods.Your car comes from Mexico full assembled and includes free Mexican piss and spit

>>26667499I've heard of the cheerleader effect making women hotter but I've never really seen the same thing happen with an ugly girl standing next to a sexy vehicle. I mean just look at how fucking ugly she is if you ignore the bike lmao
>>26667519Don't forget that that Asians are heavy into photoshop and plastic surgery..so that makes it even more sad
>>26667284illegal to own bike in europeillegal to mod it like that in europe
>>26667519She just isn't wearing a ton of make up or has a million filters on. Shes pretty fucking average honestly.
>>26667528I'd say below average senpai. I don't know why people romanticize Asians.
>>26667404>already discounting themNot a great sign
>>26667537What discount? That's literally just the freight and dealer charges lol
>>26667530You ever seen an asian without surgery or makeup? I was being nice that IS their average.
>>26667551*wasn't Fucking auto correct.
>>26667278>>26667511are there 2 (You)s in this reply
>>26667551Yeah. Im not a fan at all. And I'm a super weeb.
>>26667560I'll weeb you right in your weebhole, kouhai
true shes not the hottest but how many 100lbs females ride a fucking hayabusa80% of dbt would be too scared to even ride
>>26667559Well it's the same anon.
>>26667530bro even with makeup on and fraud-angle to hide her shitty features she's a 3 I can't even imagine how bad she looks out of the shower.and no 3 isn't harsh. 1 is basically revoltingly ugly and theres still 0. a 3 is a girl you might mistakenly make out with while drunk and then when you no longer have an erection you're ashamed.
>>26667544No tax?
redpill me on an 09 triumph street triple 675, there's something about them that's ugly-pretty in a weird way and I kinda want one. It would be my first bike, I see someone in my area selling one with 20k miles on it with a very decent asking price compared to the others.
>>26667576Absolutely. No clue why this kid is simping for um. Typical incel shit I guess
>shes a three at best
>>26667246This is a really good bike. It's a comfort derivative of the legendary Yamaha YZF-R6.
>>26667577I wasn't counting tax, that's a DMV thing after the dealer here. They charge it on dirt bikes though.. I guess off highway vehicles are different
>>26667586Relax ftr kid.
>>26667246Get the legendary first generation FZS1000/FZ1 its a fucking rocket beautiful reliable
>>26667396>As far as weight goes it weighs more than some 600Where are the 340lb 600s? Someone post the pic.
>>26667273so fucking this! based
>>26667594It's gonna be way less than 340, that gravesport build had stock wheels.

>>26667646that's a good helmet
>>26667647He doesn't ride. Don't worry about it
>>26667646I love the little air system in scorpion helmets. I kinda missed that when i returned my R1 exo carbon for an rf1400. So light too
>>26667633Okay, poor faggot
>>26667509Overnighted from Japan?
Where do i look for a new seat for my -07 rocket IIII kinda want to sit a bit higher, or take the pegs lower. Dunno how that would work unless i buy like elephant ears or something

>>26667701They have test rides coming up here soon and im super excited. Would never buy one but I want to experience that torque
>>26667606>never relaxNever do....and remember, brahs....ALWAYS park your bike where you can see it.
>>26666799I passed
>>26667698I'll give you 2200
>>26667731Congrats, anon.
>>26667730>.ALWAYS park your bike where you can see it.This is sage advice tbqqh family
>>26667746Remember, any bike outside is a free bike if they don't see it then they won't take it. Invisibility is the only technique that works 100% on theives.
>>26667731good jerb.What's the celebratory ride going to be?
>>26667665Corbin sells one, seat concepts didnt seem to have one. Those two are my go-to companies for seeing pictures of aftermarket seat options as their websites dont completely suck.Becareful because sometimes the price is only for the kit not an assembled seat, and others like Russell (day long) will charge the same cost AND require your seat. Happy hunting anon.
>>26667646Any idea how heavy this is? I've tried to look for a weight figure, but seemingly not a single vendor lists it. Some site stated the weight to be between 1200 and 1300 grams, which I doubt.
>>26667731congrats, enjoy riding and avoid encountering the skid demon
>>26667746>>26667753Damn, that was some good hiding. I had trouble finding that fine looking R6.
>>26667684I turn the handle and the world moves while i stay still>>26667701Its stupid how steady the bike is, and you can do some sketchy leans too i could never imagine with my old custom. iv had it for 3 years now and not looking back. First and second gear wheelie is no joke when doing an aggressive throttle.I still would like to have a better position for my legs, the pegs could beebit forward or me sitting higher. Small shot from a cabin trip, photo is too large otherwise
>>26667778Bagger Chad's rise up!
>>26667744I can trade it in for more than that, try again
>>26667650I hope so>>26667656Well I'm gonna see and find out soon enough, never had a scorpion helmet before>>26667771Its definitely not the lightest helmet around. Comes in at around 1591 grammes
>>266677952300 and a Bacon King with no cheese.
>>26667698Not a chance. I mean, would you spend 4k on a Ninja 400 in that condition? I wouldn't.And zoomers complain about "boomers"...
>>26667797I found that video too. Kinda wonder why scorpion doesn't post the weights of basically any of their helmets.I'm thinking of changing my helmet as well and have looked at the airoh commander. The posted weight, at about 1400g, is lighter. On the other hand the adf9000 is certainly homologated to ece 22.06 which is much preferable.
>>26667797To be perfectly honest, I've got a Klim Krios Kpro and had no idea it was supposed to be an ultralight.It just feels like "an helmet".No real point obsessing over ~300 ish grams.
>>26667798I am easily bribed with food, but I'll have to turn it down>>26667800If it weren't for them going for 5k locally probably not, but if save 1k for the same bike with scratches
Is w800 good? It sounds slow
>>26667816I've only had helmets that are sub 1400g. The helmet I've got at the moment is the hjc rpha 11, and it's not super ultralight, nor high spec helmet. Still it's about 1350g.
>>26667818its a little slower than a ninja 400. It sounds wonderful, the only complaint I've seen is the stock tires grab onto surface imperfections. It's a cool bike though, if you really want a retro
>>26667822I wish I could deliver on a w800
>>26667822Damn that slow? Is there at least an aftermarket for it?
>>2666783650ish horse but also heavier.It's an air cooled engine anon, what do you expect?
>>26667839Air is the best coolant
Would my air cooled cool more if I sprayed water on it regularly, kinda like sweat
>>26667807Its pretty much the only video I can find that has a review on this helmet, I'll give verdict when I finally get it as well.I see some brands don't include helmet weights so idk, its not just them.Yeah I kinda wanted to get something thats up to the latest standard if I'm getting a new helmet now. Not that I've been in a crash yet but somewhat reassuring.>>26667816I guess it matters if you start adding on cameras and stuff, probably feels like you're wearing a brick or something if you have a heavier base
>>26667839Looking for a bike like that, but that's good at cruising at 100 ish or more all day longW800 just looks comfy if I added a windscreen
>>26667852>Not that I've been in a crash yet but somewhat reassuring.ATGATT brother. Helmets are cheap way to keep our noggins' roggin :DD
>>26667698Bro just replace the stator cover and other parts or touch up with sharpie and nail polish. I made $3000 on a crashed gixxer doing that. I really don't get why so many people sell busted bikes that they could spend an hour a hundred buck fixing and get more for them
>>26667777>fine looking R6.checked, based , redpilled
>>26667865the w800 would be perfect for what you want. It's a more reliable royal enfield, and has a way cooler sound since its bevel driven
>>26667698Not even close. I sold my pristine 2020 with 2k miles for $3500
>>26667912>It's a more reliable royal enfieldBy what metric are you judging my bike unreliable?
>my harley smokes your shitbike
>>26667933I look at this and don't know what it means but I dont care at the same timeI like my bike, it's my bike and I enjoy riding it

I have a 2004 625 smc with much weight reduction, a bigger cam, well jetted carb and it made 71 hp at the rear I'd like to know what would be a more modern bike to upgrade to. You know modern stuff like traction control or something. I like v twins if that matters.
with a bike you can go anywhere
>>26668127Someone need to do such a sticker.
>>26668153With a bike you can go anywhere, like getting your head popped open by some woman posting on Instagram
>>26668153Agreed.
>>26668153would b cool
>>26667216I think i saw someone die today bros.I was putting my groceries into my bags at a kroger parking lot when I heard and saw a red 600 speed by at mach fuck on the main road.Minutes later I encountered the stopped traffic, three cars all bashed up, a split helmet on the ground, and a black dude laying motionless and rather contorted. For once, I kind of feel bad for the car drivers, and all the people that had a few minutes added to their commute. his bike took out a "we're hiring" sign too.
>>26668117I had the 04 625 sxc and it was a beast. Check out the 690 smc. If you want a v twin you could check out the ducati scrambler or hypermotard.
>>26668184Remer to ride respectfully and politely in the future to make up for that joggers transgressions

>>26668040Well its a road glide after all.
>>26668203I'm making chicken involtini, anon.The longer I leave the wife alone the less chance they'll be any prosciutto left over for my recipe. It's a pain in the ass to prep, but damn it's delicious.Also have some pork kebabs that need to be cut up and marinate.
>>26668227prosciutto is why i couldnt be jewish
>>26668239I get that it's delicious, but good grief. I'm forever in amazement at the people that just sit and eat slice after slice of *just* prosciutto. Or worse, stand with the fridge door open munching on the stuff.
why is picking a bike so hard, I keep finding a new candidate which keeps me from commiting to one, is this why rich people buy 50 different cars
>>26668248I've bought and sold like 5 bikes in the last 6 months. Just get something for a good price so you don't loose money on it when you sell
>>26668244i eat a package plain every once in a while. Only works for the good stuff, cheap prosciutto is only an ingrediant. I feel like its wasting the good stuff to dilute its flavor
>>26668252but that's 5 bikes worth of sales tax jew
>>26668153>CAGERS could be here
Hey interceptor anon convince me to buy a local guys 2022 model for 5k.I'm gonna have to get your exhaust, but besides that it seems like a pretty bike I can go on work trips with.
>>26668200Computer commuter
>>26668244I do this. Well, i usually get a fresh loaf if im getting italian deli meat. I make >>26668000Pretty fast Whats annoying me is that the bike absolutely hates being lugged now. Even going down to 2500 rpms is sketchy. It fucking rattles like a bitch above 4k but the power is crazy. thats the grave ive dug for myself
>>26667216I want to get a ninja 650 KRT this weekend. First bike. Trying to decide between that and the SV650. I know not to buy new, but fuck it.
>>26668290If you like it get it, it’s your money. It’s a great bike in my opinion. Just recognize the TE 201 pipes may very well be a bitch to fit, they were for me.
>>26668317don't buy new, but also the. ninjo is berrer
>>26668317SV best bike
>>26667848It would have to be a constant spray for it to matter and at that point it's just a shitty water cooled system
>>26668317I dont blame you anon, the newer ninjas have a nice digital tach and other cool trinkets Just take it for a test ride first
>>26668258You do realize you can either A. Never register it B. Put sale price on the title as $500 so that you pay almost no taxes
>>26667603>My tranny detector is going wild right now. Are you transgender?The image has a 4chan timestamp, its obviously a conveyance larper
I'm exhausted and it's almost time to go home, brahs. Probably still going to hit the gym, but gonna make it quick. >26668184I'm having flashbacks to the 600 that killed a young mother by old dealership. Hopefully nobody else died. Sad day.>mach fuckKek>>26668167Nice biek. Africa Twin, right?(Pls forgive me if it's not)
>>26668374its says nx350 retard. Ever herar of a 350 afucka twin
>>26668317Remember anon its not a matter if you will drop it, but when. Get the SV don't have to worry about cracking fairings and easier to work on plus big aftermarket support.
So, if you plan on stopping by for some groceries, make sure you don't put the manchego in the bag that sits right on top of the exhaust.Thankfully it was a short trip, but it very nearly turned into a disaster.
>>26668387Bro, I'm still new and there's just many different bikes, pls no bully.(I thought Africa Twin was just a nickname)

The hipster cafe racer trend must be over because CB750s have fallen below $6,000.Do you guys think it's worth restoring a CB750 vs getting a modern SR400?

>>26668403Facebook marketplace might genuinely make me look for my old facebook account.At this point craigslist is dead and cycletrader's full of retards.
>>26668403The S400 will be much slower but also doesn't have carbs so take your pick.
I'm starting to think that it might be worth if for me to fix my phone's camera and head out there in a few weeks to take pictures of classics. Both for my own sanity and getting some thread content besides crashing, pictures of parked bikes, wut biek is gud, and general shitposting.
>>26668403I owned a bike from that time period and would go with the SR400 all day every day. So much maintenance. But I'd probably just spend a bit more and get a RE Interceptor
>>26668434Ever been to a bike show? Was pretty depressing when I went.
>>26668448>Ever been to a bike show?No.But at this point I'm just looking for anything that can be a dayride in the state. Even if it is depressing as all fuck it's a reason to head out saturday morning.Knowing this region it's going to be all mid 1990's harleys with ridiculously low miles.
>>26668448For reference, last year I rode down to Ohio to look at Jimmy Carter's buns. Surely it can't be any more depressing than that.
>>26668413did u buy the duc and ninjo at the same time?
>>26668200they hate to see it.
>>26668200It just dawned on me that the GN125 is basically a cub 125 but with none of the practicality.
>>26668491>with none of the practicality.cub is for girls though, gn125 is for men
>>26668258you can usually use the sale price of a previous vehicle to offset your new vehicle taxes>sell bike for 4k>buy new bike for 7k>only pay sales tax on 3k instead of 7kI never understood why people wouldn't put a lower sales price on a title to save me tax money until I realized this
>>26668491Wait no, that's an unfair comparison.I completely forgot the 125 didn't exist until rather recently.So basically a C90, but with more cubes and less practicality.
saw some supermoto riders in full race suits on the local twisty. They seemed mean
Thoughts on supertech (walmart afaik) stuff?
>>26668513perfectly fine unless you ride a newer europeeing bike
Just raced home, felt brappy and obnoxious. Kept bike at 3k rpm minimum. but it was much more responsive.
>>26668515>unless you ride a newer europeeing bike14yo Kawisaki c:
>>26668374honda NX350 SAHARA fren
>>26668403Depends what you want the bike for. If it's your only bike then I'd go for the SR400. More reliable, uses less fuel, parts are easier to get, probably safer to ride because all the bearings and suspension parts will be in good condition.If it's a second or third bike that you want to have character and cruise around on occasionally then get the CB. It's definitely cooler
Had to sell my T7. Bought a cheap dirt bike and looking at the new XSR900's.
>>26668545wow rare color, we only have blue (purple) and black tenny frens
>>26668545why did u have to sell it
>>26667264Sucks man at least the damage looks pretty minimal
>>26668545>Had to sell my T7.Couldnt be meWhy did sell it?Would rather have a dedicated dirt bike and street bike?What dirt bike did you get?
>>26668485Duc first then ninjo. 3 months apart.>>26668523Nice baiku. Looks like a lot of fun.
>>26668576Bought a crf300. And yes, I would rather have a dedicated dirt and road bike.
>>26668547It's a 2022 Heritage white colorway, it's just like the other T7's because we didn't get the rally editions here in SEA.
>>26668604ill just go get pizza
I'm about to get a free 82 GS300L, what am I in for?
>>26668619A trip to the scrapyard
On top of Buck Butte Heh
HELL YEAH
>>26668617It's just what you Americans call chicken roll ups, friendo.But with prosciutto, manchego and basil instead of a corn dog or whatever you guys put in them.
>>26668637>chicken roll ups made from corn doglets just do pizza anon
>>26668637I have never had a chicken roll-up.
>>26668643In all honestly, it does remind me that there will be two kids tomorrow.Might buy some tenderloins on my way tomorrow.
>>26668495I will put on the dress and ride the bike
>no gym tomorrow >sun set at 8:30pm>don't need to pack my clear visorI think I'm taking the Duc tomorrow
>>26668666>>666 tripsAnon this is a sign to go-to McD's instead
>>26668581damn is there anything cooler than a 999 as first bike
Tried to film myself in the twisties but I pussied out riding with just one hand and didn't lean at all
>>26668680It was pretty dope. Also terrifying. Though technically it wasn't my first bike, I had a yz400f dirt bike over a decade ago, but it was my first street bike.>>26668681>riding with just one handAnon, what are you doing and why.
ZX4R is best bike of this decade and no one can prove otherwise.
100 on corn
200 stock

>>26668726Wow I didn't have 0" tendies the day I bought the bike crazyNow post yours
>>26668704>has recliners and shit in the garageyour garage continues to impress me, looks comfy as hell
>>26668734400 bros just keep winning>>26668710Definitely one of the more exciting ones with this stagnation
Anon who just passed his MSF yesterday, just got back from picking up my first bike!!! 2021 Ninja 400. First thing tomorrow morning I'm putting insurance on it and I'm whipping around my neighborhood before starting the process of getting it registered.
>>26668745Hell yeah anon, you'll love it. Fun little bike that'll teach you everything you need
>>26668745incredibly sensible starter choice, you'll have fun
>>26668748I'm really excited. My friend who's been riding for years took it for a test drive since the seller had a "you break it you buy it" policy with test drives and I just wanted to see if there was anything wrong with it before buying it. I've only gotten to ride it down my driveway out of his trailer but it just put a grin on my face starting it up and giving even a little throttle.>>26668752Hell yeah.
>>26668734>Now post yoursyou dont get to say this yet due to what just happened
>>26668741dont steal my yous.
>>26668767>>26668771Is he ok??
>>26668753My biggest tip to you is that the rear brake is your friend at low speed, it'll stabilize you. front brake at low speed will do the opposite. It's gonna be hard now, but eventually when you want to do a tight turn or something dragging the rear will click and boost your confidence.
>>26668704>Anon, what are you doing and why.Was holding the phone with left hand
>>26668771Didn't you just post a picture saying "yall suck" yesterday It's almost as if a 450lbs bike in the hands of a shit rider isn't good on single-track
>>26668786I am better than you in every regard.
Where do you find replication OEM hardware (bolts, washers, U-nuts) for those of you who have had older used bikes?
>>26668787Better at crashing?
>>26668790Rockymountianatv.com
>>26668796this made me lol pretty hard
>>26668745Welcome brother.
>>26667516good luck finding parts
I delivered food for a girl with a fat ass tonight and she looked at me while I rode away on my gnI think I'm gonna come back and knock on her door
>>26668817>knock on her door...what are you gonna say?
>>26668767>>26668771>>26668775>>26668776>>26668778Story time anon.
>>26668817Have fun getting fired you fucking Brazilian Portuguese roach.
>>26668844Seethe>>26668842That I noticed her looking at me retard
>>26668796To be fair, one can crash better, put it down, hop off, roll in a more graceful way than not. I'd say I'm something of a professional when it comes to crashing. I've been in 10-15 major auto accidents and a couple more major and countless minor accidents on two wheels. Never had an injury. Had a couple times that seemed to defy physics how I wasn't hurt. Only injury ever was from an ATV ramping gone wrong.
>>26667372>It weighs way less than a 600 with those modsIt doesn't weigh way less than a 600 with mods. The WSS minimum weight used to be 348lbs.>>26667597Although they aren't as shit stock obviously, WSS also had stock wheels and even stock sub-frames (so there'ssome more that can be saved with bolt-ons while a ZX-4 is going to require cutting up the frame and welding on mounting tabs) at the time.
>>26668863>That I noticed her looking at me retardi dont get it, where will this lead?
Anyways, I mean my track 600 and stock 300 probably weigh nearly the same but the former feels like twice as fucking heavy because of tire shape, CoG height, steering geometry, engine inertia, brake drag, etc. A lot of those numbers are going to be a lot like a 650 twin but it's going to have a crank close to as long as a 600 so it will probably not change direction as well.
>>26667244How does your 250(30?idk) fair on more urban roads? Does it eat up potholes and curbs like people say it does?
>>26668877It will most certainly weigh less lol. Regardless those stats don't matter unless you're a racer, the bike will be fun and niche once tuned
As a first time buyer should I look into scramblers? I was looking at the Svartpilen 401 and Scram 411, I live in the city and thought it would be a good all around bike that I could use on roads and also occasionally ripping it down gravel roads. Or should I just ignore all that and get a dualsport/supermoto?
>>26668902Get whatever you want fag
>>26668902As a first time buyer you should know that 'scrambler' and shit is all marketing designed to appeal to some dormant identity inside youa bike is a bike, youre not going to have more fun getting a brand new royal enfield. in fact youll probably hate your life more.
>>26668902the RE is shittily made and very slow. IDK about the swede. Shit like the R NINE t scrambler isn't capable of anything more than gravel roads, but it is better on gravel than a 100% road bike (like the r NINE t cafe raper
>>26668902get what your heart says, not brain
>>26668902Look into the gn125
>>26668738Thank anon. It has a couch too! I built it to be the ultimate work shop and hang out spot that you can do almost anything with. >insulation >heat and a/c>high ceiling>good lighting, adjustable with several switch patterns>2 post lift>big open space >big awning out front and side>lounge area>entertainment center>theater tier sound setupEven the girls like to hang out in here. Even being a shop, it's very hard to not feel comfy in there.
>>26668935>Even the girls like to hang out in hereok now you are just making stuff up
>>26668931and then look away
>>26668738>>26668935This was shortly after I bought the Ducati.
its so fresh and so clean>>26668945>>26668945>>26668945>>26668945
goodnight thread
>>26668938I haven't had a lot of girls over there, but a few have been inside and they remarked how cool it was. The bitches love the shop. Just look at this. How could they not love it.>>26668745Congrats anon! Very cool bike, love the color. Be safe and remember, look where you want to go!
>>26668902If you want to work on your bike/learn to work on it and you live outside the US, the scram 411 is a fantastic starter. The only real downside of it is it's relative lack of speed, which in Europe for instance is not really a problem since very few roads actually get to US highway speeds and there's always a smaller and slower path available as well. And since the bike calls for semi frequent but easy maintenance, it's a great platform to learn on. Though I will say that scramblers are basically just streetbikes with some light adv features, although the scram 411 being basically just a himalayan with 19 inch wheel is easily the most dirt capable scrambler.
