Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

It's the least I can do, haven't been spending much on my bikes lately

 

Ah. I was confused based on the post he quoted.

@Tatts521 Yes its a 2017 KTM 690 enduro. I just recently bought warp9 supermoto conversion though and thats what you are seeing in these recent pictures.

 

Well post up and i can help you there

 

How do you like it. Because I'm pretty positive that's the next bike I'm getting

 

Love it! Bit heavy offroad but its not noticeable on the street. Im also comparing it to something like a 500exc though. Overall though its a great bike, tons of power. Really fun in supermoto and more enjoyable to ride streets this way imo. I dont have trails near my house though to make much use of the enduro setup. I honestly would say the only other bike i would look at would be the 500exc (excluding the husky 701e/sm).

I didnt want a large adv bike (even heavier). The 690 is a good mix. Plenty of bike to cruise down the highway and small enough to get into trouble as well.

 

My brother has the 500exc. And loves it I have yet to ride his. He just converted over to supermoto looks sick. I'll keep my option open when the time comes to purchase a new bike. But it will definitely be a ktm for sure

 

500exc is also an excellent bike. Ive seen those things get abused like crazy on and off road. They chug along great. Really a great bike. If you want something a little lighter and friendlier offroad then id recommend it over the 690. They are a hoot to ride in supermoto as well.

Edit: apparently the 500exc-f is 50 state legal and has been since 2012

so much for "paving it to make it safer"

 

From what I heard, the guy was shaving 1-4 seconds off of his record splits from last year, the guy was absolutely flying along.

 

A little depressing to watch his final videos, a truly talented racer gone. Wasn’t familiar with him but damn 36 years young, same age as me.

 

Im on part 2. Definitely cool to watch and a shame to see a racer lost.

 

Jesus, that's a pretty substantial time difference

 

Yeah, he was on track to dominate this year. A real shame.

 

Anyone with a ‘19 Honda CB650R yet? Or any of the new “neo-cafe” makes bikes from Honda? Really digging the look of those bikes and the i4 with 94hp sounds right up my alley.

 

if anyone here has a crf450r, I have an oem honda fuel tank with petcock and aluminum BBR fuel cap that I do not need
(I purchased by mistake assuming the BBR cap would fit my crf50r, like a dope )

The BBR fuel cap is the x stamped one, this means it is compatible with the following bikes:
110-HCR-1203 Stamped “X” CRF/XR CRF450R, XR200/250/400/600/650 (88-02)

I paid 60 bucks for this, would love to make my money back but open to offers and I am willing to ship.

 

Just looks like a normal naked bike to me

 

Think it’s the round head-light that pulls me in. Not a fan of the insect look on a lot of the other newer bikes. The waterfall headers are a nice touch too.

 

I’m a subie fan I kinda like it...

This is how you do it though:
