ionn posted:Idk, me being a total beginner it's enough engine to provide me with any amount of fun I have any business having. Since I can easily outrun my brothers oversized moped, I've never so far felt 60-something hp isn't fully sufficient. There are lots of different kinds of horsepower and we only talk in simplistic, childish numbers because marketing is a force of immense evil. There are bikes with 150+ that make you fall asleep and bikes with 30 that feel like ramming a salamander up your nostril. The k650 is a very dependable, very uninteresting way to deliver sixty horsepower, just perfect for this thread HenryJLittlefinger posted:Is the Versys engine the same as the Ninja 650? For all the hate that engine gets, I can't understand why it was a favorite of stunters for a while. It's the same one yeah. It was probably popular because it's very rugged, has no fragile bits sticking out, and is commonly available.

Imo if that is in your wheel house, the bother of the v4 outweighs the advantages compared to the first gen vt1100c. I know how it sounds but seriously, Honda seemed to be unaware that cruisers had to be slow and just built an air cooled v twin with a normal amount of power for 1100cc's and a chassis to match. They look ridiculous though, I got very close to buying one with the intention of taking all the dumb cosmetic poo poo off and just making a death machine. All that said the saber is a comparatively fast and solid machine if you do all the usual needful poo poo, which is one of the drawbacks of the v4 cause that basically always involves carbs. Imo they don't handle very nicely for the power they have. But it's faster than a 300zx turbo! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj0UjUo5Jsw

Gorson posted:Nice! The CB350/4 has become so rare as to be practically nonexistent. I don't even see 350/2's for sale anymore....cafe craze ate them all up. That is a sweet motor married to a sweet chassis and a good degree of no-bullshit design by Honda standards, you only need delete the linked brakes to get a brilliant bike.

I guess what gets me is the person who made the app in the first place. You have a dr650, you also know how to make an app. Surely, surely if you're that clever it's easier to just learn the DR's foibles by heart than coding an entire app. Or am I severely overestimating apps?

Those honestly didn't seem like they were a bad bike but they also had heavy Buell syndrome in that they seemed like the perfect bike for the designer himself, personally, and not at all something marketable to tens of thousands of people.

I thought my VFR cooked me when the fans came on but having the exhaust right under my leg at a stoplight is…woof. I’ll be happy when it cools down a bit up here in the PNW. If you think that's bad, imagine being your rear brake reservoir!
