Even better. Honestly forgot they announced that. At your age and having been out of the game, but knowing just enough to be dangerous, you’re the most at-risk rider there is in the road.

WR125 could be easily set up for a taller rider with bar risers and a taller seat. Might get one myself if my current Yamaha ever dies (it won’t).

>>28902602
Yeah never did anything too stupid when I did ride but I'd definitely come back feeling less sharp overall which is the biggest risk

Used to have a KLR650 so never got myself into any real danger on that pig, just some abandoned parking lot wheelies with some homies and a couple casual group rides.

I appreciate the kind words. It’s a 1986 Yamaha XT350. They were produced from 1985-2000. Street legal version of the Yamaha TT350. Super awesome bikes, dead nuts reliable, kick start only. Highly recommend, if you can find one. Might have to get the carbs cleaned once if it’s been sitting, but so long as you never let them get gunked up again you’ll be set. It’s just fast enough to cruise in the middle lane on the interstate, but capable enough for any single track or trail. Honestly, you’d probably be alright with it if you’re mechanically inclined, because you will be spending time wrenching on it, where you probably wouldn’t on a brand new WR125. Old bikes bring old bike problems, doesn’t matter the brand. These dual sports and enduros are almost always dogged out the moment they leave the showroom, so going with something brand new makes good sense.

>>28902642
>Yamaha XT350
Unrelated note, but since you like that bike, there's an Ameriboo youtuber in England, Freddie Dobbs, that bought one and is learning to wrench on his. It's pretty entertaining to watch, because so far he's leaving in all the fuck ups. Nice highs and lows.

See >>28902503 and note the irrecoverable fall off after the 2008 crisis. Young people don't have the disposable income to spend on expensive frivolities anymore. Racing, like every other extreme sport, was propped up by young people spending. Now, it's only old men and the rich, which is why every race series and track is desperately trying to turn themselves into a luxury experience and ignoring the mass market. I know the average age of people on this board puts them as children during the pre-2008 years, but it's really hard to overstate just how fucking rotted everything has been since then. It's the reason why the kids are all stuck in their phones and obsessed with social media these days, it's all they can really afford.

i got a wr250r for just under 4k a couple months ago. i'm 5'10" and it's pretty tall. as in, i wouldn't be upset if it was a little shorter.
i'm in a similar age bracket, similar mindset. most of what i do is ripping around in the woods and the wr does what i want, but admittedly i wish it was a bit more powerful. which is why i'd be hesitant to pick the wr125r.
the wr250r requires you to wring it out on hill climbs and stuff.

i also have ridden my friend's drz 400SM. it's a bit heavier but honestly it's pretty similar. that's a really low bike but i imagine the one with dirt tires is still a good height. and supermoto is a lot of fun. i've been thinking about picking up a set of street wheels and swapping around.

anyway, tl;dr look into a wr250r or a drz. downside with the wr250r is they quit making them like 6 years ago so you have to be cognizant of long term support. aftermarket for DRZ is going to be better. but both are great. if i had a drz instead of a wr i think i would be just as happy with it. just keep an eye on both around your area.

south louisiana. we've got kisatchie which is a big ass national forest, and lots of land people use for hunting and what not.
it's more flat than i'd like. i've got friends with some land out in texas they hunt on and i'll go out there a couple times a year.

the unplated bike is a little 125cc chinese pit bike my friend has. fun to goof around on but really no comparison. i think you'd be a little underwhelmed with a 300 pound wr125r with 15 hp. i was also looking at the klx300 and crf300l. it's been a blast though, i'm happy with the wr. being able to ride to the trails in the morning, fuck around then ride home is really nice.
plus the used market is so good, you could probably pick one up and if it isn't what you expected, turn around and sell it for basically the same price. do it, big dog.

I had always assumed that the dislike for motorcycles, and the outright hate for cyclists, was a uniquely North American phenomenon. However, reading JP language motorcycle/scooter twitter has basically revealed that there have been a growing number of vehicles growing angry at people on 2 wheels either going too fast or not fast enough, and intentionally cutting them off like pic related. And also apparently the chugaku region, Okayama in particular, don't use blinkers.

It has me curious what are the local driving eccentricies of other countries. I know someone from Poland mentioned the wire decapitation meme earlier, but what else is there?

>>28903372

Anywhere in the US they will actively try to kill you since their only experience with bikes is being "cut in line" by a motorcycle rider. They assume you will take their place in queue and preemptively try to kill you to prevent it.

There are *some* cagers who have an irrational hatred of motorcycles and will turn on their windshield washers when they see a bike behind them but these cretins are rare. Most motorists will move over and let me filter through when they see me coming.

If it's really crawling, I have and will stop, get off and rap on his window for a chat until he eventually pussies out and keeps inching forwards. Far more emasculating, like giving someone a thumbs down instead of the fingers.

Smashing the mirror only serves to justify their impotence and makes it worse for the next guy, IMO. As much as I would rather smash their teeth.

How come this is the most comfortable motorcycle saddle I've ever sat my ass on?
It's just a piece of rubber stretched over 2 metal bars and a rubber block on the underside to cushion the metal bars against the frame.
Only bike I've ever riden where my ass isn't sore after a couple of hundred kilometres, I can ride through the whole day without feeling sore anywhere.
The seat on my Guzzi was plush and nice, but after a while my tailbone/lower back started to ache and I had to get off the bike for a while.

Is it better to buy brand new or slightly used, low-mileage, almost-like-new with farkles if they are at the exact same price?
There is a listing of a 2025 Hunter Cub with 1.8k km mileage. It costs about 90k ladyboydollar (2900 USD), which is basically the same price as a new Hunter Cub here.

Uncs like me. Mr.Shoomers, rided our zx14r yesterday
It was an okay ride

We fixed frens turn signal light, replaced and rewired new one
Ended up having to do another in the back
Put some baffles inc they were tiny, cut like 4-5db of noise, another silencer with packing would be perfrction
And then we realixed he woud have to dremel the original speedometer for it to be diagnosed, and he didnt have a dremel

I tokk only my rear brake apart, realize i have like 3/4 pad left, shot it with brake clean, and rode around again
Sadly im squeeker central
Any tips for cleaning the squeeks out? Or should i still replace these pads, cause i thought i ran then bare but they looked fine
I was thibking take them off and use a toothbrush to scrub the fuck out of them this time
If that doesnt work idk how to remove squeeker bros

>Got a street tripple r on a whim and ended up riding it significantly more than the R7, so I want to try something new.
interesting.
just because of better ergos or some other reason?
was the r7 as uncomfortable as they say

>>28903897
>Worst was probably vfr800
Nice, and I wanted to buy a VFR as a first bike.

>>28903998
Part of it was ergos, For my 5'10" ass if wasn't bad stock, less aggressive than a sport bike, more than a street, and the seat was long enough that pressing against the tank or pushing back to the end if the seat made it more aggressive. but then I did a lot track days for a season and made it way more aggressive.
Not that the ergos for the stripple are the best either,I do have a bit of an issue with it where lower half is more aggressive than the upper body but it's not uncomfortable.

>>28903634
XSR700

>>28904065
The other part of it was I just wanted to not ride & hear a ptwin. i started on a ninja 400, then got an r7. So I wanted something else. I was either going to get a monster, or a shiver since the mt09 and z900 were out of my budget.
Now I'm looking at z4rr or a rvf400 to replace the R7.

They should make convertible top helmets so I can feel the wind on my hair. I honestly don't give two fucking shits about safety, I just don't want the wind, bugs or a rock from a construction dump truck knocking out one of my eyes or a tooth. A full face 100% "goggle" that doesn't press my glasses into my nose would also be great.

i've been talking with my friend about doing a multi-week ride in europe for probably three years now. we're both early 30s. we're both in a position now where we could probably pull it off financially and without losing our jobs.
it would be cool if we could go point-to-point but it seems like we most likely have to rent a bike and pick up/drop off at the same location, so we'd do a big loop. have any of you done this? or similar? dont take pic related too seriously it's just to grab your attention so you reply to me.
i imagine it's a lot more difficult than what we expect, but i've also got the feeling that it could end up being a thing where we just kick the can forever and don't end up doing it and then life circumstances no longer line up and it's a "man i wish we would have done that".

its not my route, mein freund. i just stole it off reddit. its just an example. we've not actually settled on a route or anything yet.

its crazy how there isn't more infrastructure set up for point-to-point ride rentals. i'd figure that would be a thing in europe but most of the rental places want it dropped where you pick it up. it'd be sick to be able to pick up a bike in portugal and drop it in greece or whatever. just have discounts or something for "reverse routes" so the bikes get delivered back. problem solved.

also its like 100+ euro a day to rent. at that point its almost worth buying at one end and selling at the other, but i know """legally""" it wouldn't be that easy.

It's my only transport. It's no issue as that.
>>28902920
Context:
My use case is commuting, weekend twisties and touring. I've done about 30k miles so far. I already had plenty of experience and wanted something that I could wind out in my country's back roads. My geography and country's shit economy played a big part in the selection.
It's wonderfully practical and performs well from a utilitarian perspective. It does most things well without any drama. Cheap to insure in comparison to other 600 sport bikes. Virtually immune to rust and corrosion even after riding multiple winters. Reliability is okay. I had the loom rub through and touch the frame killing the fuses once. The OEM exhaust cracked at 20,000 miles. It is thirsty for oil too. The fuel range is a little short.
Onto the subjective things:
I think it's a little gutless in the lower revs and it doesn't have the berserk ceiling that other 600's do. The brakes feel numb. Handling is numb too, you don't get much feedback leaning over. Gearbox clunks and the quickshifter isn't worth the money. My biggest gripe is that it's vibey. Really vibey. I had really thought an i4 should be better than this. I wrapped the grips in foam and replaced the footpegs with rubber insert ones and that's still not enough. Most twins I've ridden are smoother. I am shopping for other bikes that feel more refined. Will be looking for smoother engines will less buzz and bikes with more tactile interfaces.

Tldr: good bike if you don't have other reference points. Will serve you dutifully but leaves you feeling cold.

Then you are fucked. You can't simply buy and sell one after the trip like i could in the US. On your place I'd look for someone who could buy a used one and let you ride it, while you ship it back to him after the trip, perhaps there's services like that.

>>28904254
thanks for the essay. considering the price point, that's a pretty solid review from my angle. if you can put up with it for 30k, it can't be all that bad.
i imagine being gutless down low comes with the territory. in my imagination, the character of an inline 4 is worth the loss of torque. then again, being honest, you are in the lower revs a lot of the time around town.

why's the eclutch suck? it seems perfect for keeping your left hand free to hold a beer.
i do see people bitch about the vibrations. that is a thing that gets annoying. my friend has a ktm 500 and we've gone on multi hour rides, swapping back and forth and it really does get old.
i'm kind of bought in on the concept of an inline 4. i wish there were more options but it's a dying breed what with emissions.
what are you looking at as a replacement?

If I go up a tooth on the front sprocket and down 2 in the rear will my chain length be the same?

>>28904283
My model's not the eclutch one. I've seen it in operation but I'd consider it a novelty. It does look very prone to fall damage. 4's are alive and well. Try finding a Vtwin that's not a Ducati or a Vstrom, now that's a challenge. Harley's aren't really sold here.
Don't forget how these things are geared. You may have 94hp, but only when you're doing 60mph in 1st, 80mph in 2nd and 100mph in 3rd. If you're in so much as 2nd at 40mph you ain't going nowhere. The 650 gearbox isn't nice enough to be doing 2nd->1st gear shifts at speed and the engine is too vibey to be hanging in 2nd all day.
If a small bore four is what you want, great, go ride and enjoy it for what it is but there's a reason they lost their popularity.
I rode a triple 765 and thought it had a better bottom end and top end while revving higher and buzzing less. I'd have bought one if it had a fairing. I consider a fairing essential if you want to put down serious miles outside of summer. I might do a DIY Daytona conversion. The 675 is too old as a daily now.
Other candidates are a Ducati supersport 950 or a z1000sx though I'm yet to test ride them and cast my judgement.

Catflap over the power bar looks like an accident waiting to happen.
The cat won't like it.

The cat (my master and commander) simply steps over it and has been fine here for seven years without incident. But thanx for your concern.

What ever bought new sprockets so I can not rub my case with my chain fucking retards

That was just the safety bod in me talking. I hope you don't get stormy weather.
Be safe.

Funny you say this
Im crossposting rn on /n/ in a bicyxle thread looking for some advice on a triathalon bicycle or narrowing down my options and i met a /n/ibba on there whos certified certified insane as my shoomer schizoposts ofttimes tend to be
Hes strapping a chinese grenade to his bicycle, calling it an engine, and hes already a real american MC 1%er because by him doing this he is unregistered unlicensed and uninsured

>>28904376
Also speaking of master and commander, i cannot find any movie that comes close to that; whether it be in the kino department or shipsailing at sea with gentlemanly chivalry- but in BOATS

Its too bad boats and sailing is arbitrarily foreign to the board/site, itd be coolio to see boat posters shitposting and flame warring other crews and then greentexting larps when they commandeered another anon's boat or mutinied his crew

Does it run and why arent you riding it if it does?
Also congradulations nobike, even if it doesnt run, youre no longer a nobike

>>28904419
Thanks.
Oh yes it runs.
It certainly needs things(tires, battery, some brake work, choke cable, some springs). Was futzing around with it and already have quite the list. Probably go take a motorcycle course while working through the list of shit to fix.

bout to pull the carb on my 69 super cub 90

do i need to remove the mudguard? theres some access there, not sure if keeping it on or removing it would risk damage to the old plastic. and anything i need to do besides scrubbing with the toothbrush and letting it sit in pinesol for a few days?

Did you know Indian made transverse V engine motorcycles with shaft drives leading up to wwii?
And Harley made a BMW inspired flat twin

Working on boats is lame

>>28904353
I usually try to not be a bitch about looks, but this shit is too cringe for me. I guess I'll just keep wearing the head cage.

>>28904537
It was an unserious suggestion, but a true story. Was at an HD dealer for reasons I forget, and this dude had just bought a used Harley. The used bikes were all parked out front and I was walking in, so I watched this dude get handed his keys, shake the salesmans hand, mount his newly purchased bike, put on a skull mask exactly like the one I posted, and ride off back to whatever kind of life a guy like that has without any hint of awareness of how fucking weird it was to be wearing a plastic skull mask in public, which I honestly kind of admire.

>>28904456
That's longitudinal, not transverse

>>28904386
>Master and Commander
Tough to live up to that. Submarine
.. movies are about as close as it gets, Hunt for Red October and Crimson Tide were fun. I will also always have a soft spot for Jaws, as it's movies in one: murder mystery, then a buddy cop thriller, then Moby Dick.

>>28904550
That dude is either the chillest guy you will ever meet or the most obnoxious. Zero middle ground.

inlet popped out on my carb. can i fit it back in in anyway or do i need to tap a new inlet in?

No u should stop being an idolator and co jurong ai slop with divination prompts to satisfy belly gods

If its not a wooden sailboat that cam fix everything with carpentry, it is indeed very gay
But sailors of that era were quite the lucrative craftsman back in their day admittedly, thats why theyre cool

>>28904560
nobody on /dbt/ repairs bikes anymore?

i got the fuel line off and tapped the inlet back on with a hammer. seems good but i'm not getting many results when i look this up, and i dont want to incinerate the bike/myself when i start it

funny i just bought both bc i couldnt decide which one i wanted

>>28904576
Bro you got people advocating against manual transmissions, you won't find a wrench here no mo' they all got outta dodge

>>28904552
Depends on if you’re referring to the crank or the engine, moto Guzzi and Indian in the time period both call them transverse

>>28904576
what do you want from us, you already put it back in the carb
how did it come out in the first place

>>28904286
you should be fine, just make sure theres some adjustment left when you are all done- the wheel isnt pushed too far forward or back in the swing arm

>>28904596
knowledge. i've gotten lucky in /dbt/ before but it's not a given.

was pulling fuel line on my cub. design is not the same as modern fittings, double bulb idk how else to explain it, and lines were a huge pain to remove. maybe i clamped too hard maybe the 60yo carb wanted to break

>>28904145
what's the appeal?
way too much work figuring the logistics of it all, where to go, what side of the road they drive on, what currency they take, shit like that
why not just go across the US? or alaska to mexico

There is a guided off road/adv bike tour through the center of Iceland that I would probably do if I had someone to go with me.

its a brass barb/nipple, normally pressed into the housing of the carb, right?

Most of our wrencher regulars are either busy because thats also their career, or fending off the russians with a battlebike army of ural enthusiasts- who also need to repair their exploding pistons every other week they barn find a replacement or collectors addition
