 I love ragging on my whores. 2 SV's, completely different in character from each other. These should last me the summer until next, when I should hopefully get a garage and even more delicious bikes.

Suzuki Blue is my favorite blue. Also, all exhausts should have exhaust wrap. Not because it is efficient or practical-- it's just the coolest thing ever.

Did you put that headlight on there? I'm not sure I approve of you putting BMW parts on Suzukis.

The headlight is completely questionable. The PO installed the headlight on there. There were some Dominators on there before. The BMW headlight is entirely preferable, mostly as it contributes to the non-thievability of the bike. It's still an interesting look. I'd rather Buell dual headlights lined up with the frame.

The LC8 is a loving lazy motor that doesn't seem to care what gear, RPM, or degree of insane uphill you are going, it just grunts it out. I coasted most of the way down the mountain with a low fuel light and it worried me a bit, but she made it to the gas station. Did you berm it on the way down?

 Traded my dad the 98 r1100gs (which he is going to trade in for a 12 V-Strom)for this. 08 Versys. Sounds way cooler than the BMW and less likely to get a speeding ticket on because it feels faster. The GS liked to go 50 / 90+ on the highway. This can do it, but it feels like it's going faster than it is.

Changed up the taillight again and made a license plate bracket to get it off the fender. Still don't like the seat and haven't figured out what I'm doing with that.

 This thing is super whippy, easy to ride but the stiff suspension is hell (anyone know how to adjust it and any drawbacks to doing so?) and it is certainly gonna get me in trouble. Night and day from my old Ninja 250. Next moves are a fender delete, and install some sliders and bar end mirrors. I kinda wanna get different bars for a more aggressive seating position but I'm trying to give the higher bars and upright seating a chance to grow on me first.

Gorgeous bike! Since you've got the gold wheels I'm going to guess you've got the Street Triple R so you should have adjustable suspension The owners manual it will list several recommended suspension settings and tells you how to set it on your bike. I'm told they are set up to handle a pillion from the factory, and if you're a fairly light person you might find you need a new rear spring. I believe the suspension setup is the same as my Daytona, but I'd recommend checking out triumph675.net where you'll find plenty of help from other Street Triple owners.

Now that I have a DRZ I can do cool guy stuff, like breaking the law. Can't see it at all but that's a washed-out bridge behind me in the second picture. I spent Saturday afternoon on some surprisingly nice country roads southeast of DC.

DRZ's are good for going places you're not supposed to be. Also thank you for posting that picture...those barricades are the perfect size for a trials obstacle now I just need to find a broken one to borrow some chunks off of.

I also want to go with a 17 or 18" front wheel and a rubber profile that almost matches the rear.

You know, screw these anonymous hill climbers from 1938...it occurs to me now that the inventor of the bungee cord and the chemist who came up with flat black need to be inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame. Few have done more to advance the sport. Great bike, keep the sh...errr, matte side up.

Look at this piece of poo poo. LOOK AT IT.  I have never driven such a heifer in my life. Problems: 1) It weighs like 400 kilogrammes. That's an estimate, it's heavy as gently caress. My Daytona was about a third of the weight. You would have thought that would mean that it keeps high speed fairly well with momentum and all, but no, this unaerodynamic gently caress loses speed like I lose my patience with it. 2) Slow as BALLS. Like seriously slow. I thought Supersports were quick? Not this one. I don't know if they had a monkey tune it up by hitting it with hammers or something or if it's deliberatly slow but whatever it's unacceptable. 3) The exhaust is near silent. I dont like this as it's unsafe. Motorists need to be able to hear you when coming, filtering is legal in the UK and it's good to have real blower as a pipe to alert people to your presence. I can barely hear it and I'm straddled on this sow. 4) because of 1 & 2, this thing is impossible to wheelie. If I was going to have it for a longer time I would get a rear cog with about 2-3 teeth less to try to get the front wheel up. Not that it would matter, as even if you pulled the best extended wheelie in the world, on this bike you would still not look cool. 5) It's ugly as sin, and because of 2, you have to suffer the ignominity of actually being SEEN on it. 6) It's scratched to death. It's an ugly bike anyway, but this makes it worse. 7) Uggo engine protectors. This thing doesnt even go fast enough to get crash damaged, and any stunting is ruled out. 8) It has ABS which rules out burnouts (I think?). I feel compassion for anyone who has suffered the burden of a bike like this. mootmoot fucked around with this message at 11:36 on Jun 8, 2012 |

If I was handing out loaner bikes I can't see why they wouldn't all be turbo's ZX-10Rs either, clearly someone with a repeatedly smashed supersport class vessel is a man of speed, skill and class requiring a firebreathing steed appropriate to his stature

mootmoot posted:Look at this piece of poo poo. I guarantee you that I could accelerate faster on that B6 than you could on your Daytona. And the wheelbase is pretty short and the bars are wide so the weight disappears at speeds greater than ~5mph. I really don't know if you post this stuff to mess with us or not. It doesn't matter what bike you ride because you'll always suck at riding since you actively ignore advice that we give to save you a life of hardship. It's not the bike; it's your disposition about riding. I wish I still had the picture of my friend in a one-piece and a dual sport helmet dragging knee on his dad's Bandit 600.

If a moot point has no value, what does a mootmoot point have? No value no value? Value? Or something inbetween, a form of valueless value which is only worth something to worthless people?

Bandits are slow as balls compared to the bike he's coming off of, its possible that has a 33bhp restriction too if its a loaner. no one is mocking the fact that he thought it was a supersport, just peddling the same tired old hate when there's so much fresh fodder.
