Husky keeping with their tradition of never keeping a model without significant changes for more than a model year, I see. Nice to know that these will still be used market lepers in four years. What do you mean by V engine? Vtwin?

Not according to the spec sheet. I don't know how both this and the 701/690 with the older engine manage to pass emissions looking like they do, while the Duke needs a huge ugly exhaust box under the engine.

it's too bad these are apparently gutless and don't respond much to mods short of a big bore kit because they look pretty dope when they're tricked out

Going straight for the sumo for your first bike is a wise choice which I wish I had made. You will not regret it. Ride enough, and you will surprise yourself by eventually leaving corners with the back out, and not caring. Enjoy!

Yeah, my moderately kitted out DRZ is still my favorite bike over my FZ6. I'm still garbage at wheelies though.

Backed it in like a proper retard last night... Riding through some hills roads and long story short I'm not sure how it happened but I went for an up shift, somehow ended up selecting down, let the clutch out and became intimately acquainted with the effects of severe engine breaking on rear wheel stability. Ended up sliding 5-10 m. Bike and myself aren't too bad, it dumped all its fuel (I assume through the vent) so I couldn't get it started and I've just got a sprained ankle (wearing full gear at the time). My uncle whos worked on his own bikes all his life is giving it a look over today, fingers crossed there shouldn't be any mechanical damage. Absolutely rotten with myself for making such a dumb mistake, but I guess I should just be glad neither I or the bike are seriously damaged. Live and learn, all I can do.

For the last two years or so I've been bike-sitting an '06 400SM for my friend, who has basically given up riding and doesn't have garage space for it. I've ridden it a decent amount, and it's really not my favorite bike. Vibrates too much, seat is like a 4x4 suspended between paint shakers, sucks on the highway, I hate carbs, and I hate not having ABS. Also, after I broke my ankle I didn't ride it for about five months and it's going to need a carb clean to run well again. That said, I love the seating position and size, and it is really a shitload of fun when you're trying to have fun on it. I also don't have a bike of my own right now and if I want to ride something I'm worried about it being someone else's bike. So, much like two people who end up moving in together and then getting married entirely out of inertia and lack of immediately accessible better options, I'm finally just going to buy it off of him (for very cheap) and become an official sumobro, free to wheelie myself off the side of a cliff. It's getting a new goddamn seat.

Do not buy the Suzuki gel seat. It is somehow worse than stock.

seatconcepts is your friend. I'm running a +1" SDG and lemme tell you. that loving thing is harder than a pornstars dick and about as wide. I'll drill some fatass relief holes in the foam when I find my god damned stapler.

Ive heard good things about the Renazco seats. Wish I had got that instead of the Corbin. Corbin is light years better than the stock seat, but its still pretty hard. Maybe I just need a fatter rear end.

The Corbin is good on the DRZ if you want a wider-flatter surface to sit on. My first DRZ had a Corbin, and it wasn't terrible. The worst part about it was it was the goofy faux carbon fiber and was slippery as all hell, which is not what you want on a supermoto. If you get a Corbin, just get the grippy surface, they offer a few.

So I've got torn ligaments in my ankle, will find out the full extent of the damage on Monday when my physio goes through the sonographer's report. Despite that, got back out on the bike yesterday for the first time, nervous but keen, just got to keep practising. Guess I should consider myself lucky I didn't end up worse off.

i've never ridden a motorcycle in my life, but i've spent way too much time looking at learner legal motorcycles (australian) online. i came across this today and it seems pretty cool to me, http://www.swmmotorcycles.com.au/sm-500-r/ i don't really know anything about the brand, but it looks fun. thoughts?

What's cheap in Australia? Don't buy a new bike because you'll be sad when you scratch it. Get a ninja 250 is the standard advice.

Reviews look surprisingly flattering, but I'd be pretty wary of buying something from a new/resurrected brand as my first bike, and yeah, don't buy new. I assume you could pick up a drz-400sm with ~15k on the clock for similar money. Also, do the learner course before shopping around. Who knows if you even like this dumb money pit hobby yet?

A supermoto is a good choice for a first bike but a 500cc supermoto is maybe a bit on the large side. Depends how highly tuned the engine is. A <400cc bike is a better choice (the Ninja 250/EX250 is the classic starter). Anyway if you want to start motorcycling, take your nation-state's equivalent of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation introductory course. You get one weekend of riding around on a motorcycle practicing drills and figuring out if you like it or not. If you do, great, you've just completed one of the steps towards licensing and you might get an insurance discount. If not, you're only out the cost of the course. everyone likes riding a motorcycle though

I'm paying 87 PER MONTH on the SMC. I wish I could get these mythical low dirtbike rates. Granted, I go full coverage on all of my vehicles, always. Gieco quotes about 50/mo, but I'm not sure I want to switch from progressive. If I have to ride a DRZ to get great insurance rates, I'd rather just pay more...

I only have $1000 into the DRZ so I don't really care about collision, but it would only bump me up to $200/6 months.

In Texas, if you sign up for it and then want to cancel you have to mail in a few signed documents saying you're declining coverage. It was a pain in the rear end when I had to do it.

Looks like you 2016 husky 701 SM owners can get a power commander now if riding with no baffle is your thing. Edit: I see their installation manual PDF says it's for the 2017 701 SM, probably a mistake. Nfcknblvbl fucked around with this message at 05:37 on Dec 23, 2016 |
