Its to take a mold of my jaws to make the temporary "press fit" upper denture im going to wear for like 5 months while my bone grafts harden enough for implants. I'll have that a montj after the mold, give or take. But with how long it took for my jaw to heal up to this point it makes sense to wait here a few extra days, and not fly SJ-DEN-AZ-DEN

/o/ still has pinned the giant shitpost I wrote ten years ago about not buying an I4 as your first motorcycle and despite the outdated model nomenclature I still stand by that advice just get an SV650 or something

FBS posted:/o/ still has pinned the giant shitpost I wrote ten years ago about not buying an I4 as your first motorcycle and despite the outdated model nomenclature I still stand by that advice It's not going to be my first bike, I'm just going to do a little bit of supervised one on one riding with my dad at slow speed, in our neighborhood, and a parking lot. Pretty much checking off the one and only thing I ever held against him for not doing with me when I was growing up. He always had coaching with the other brothers, and we shared very little in common except the passion for motorsports and vehicles, and the F2 had been in storage in pieces for about 10 years after he pulled it apart for a major overhaul. I always wanted to put it back together with him and learn to ride, because then we could have something to do while he had coaching with the brothers for them. Thats why finding out he put it together and taught my youngest brother how to ride it immediately after I moved to Seattle really hurt, and after all these years mom finally said if it meant that much to me I just needed to get ovet it and go take lessons. So, almost 10 years after that all went down I'm finally proving to dad I'm taking the risks seriously, taking the precautions I can, and demonstrating I'm capable of mastering the skills required for a license and so help me I'ma ride that drat bike with that drat dad like I've been trying to since I turned 18.

Legit question, as the SV650 keeps coming up as a reccomendation. Im obviously aware of the difference between 13hp and 90hp, especially with the perspective I've gained over the last few days on what 13hp can feel like. But looking at 73hp to 90hp, the difference starts looking a little less dramatic. 2 cylinders are obviously simpler mechanically, but could anyone possibly put into laymans terms what it is between the two that makes the actual riding so different and why 73 would be fine but 90 not? Honest question, trying to learn and understand the actual characteristics and behaviors of riding, and I just dont have enough experience to know more.

Well, he did say the SV650 would be fine to start with, but he agreed to take me out with the CBR and see how things go because of my reasons above. I just want to go for a short ride with him. Managed to convince him the idea of riding wasnt a total mistake with how well I did with my course test and exam. An actual bike purchase is way down the road though. I need to get back to CO, and start looking into life needs first. But goddamn have the last 3 days been fun

I started riding on a CBR, and F2 at that, and transitioned to a SV650 after. The 650(naked especially) is a lot more fun to ride on a daily basis and is much more forgiving. Upgrade the rear to a ZX10R shock and put some quality springs (or a gixxxxxer conversion) up front and it’s a killer bike. Layman’s terms though the SV is torquier off the line and pulls steadily up to redline whereas the CBR puts you to sleep until it puts you into a hedge. It’s fun but there’s a reason why when my wife decided riding wasn’t for her I sold the CBR and kept the SV. It’s a better everyday bike and with a mild amount of money it’s drat near perfect for 90% of the riding you’ll do day to day. Also gently caress carbs and praise be to EFI.

I don't have experience but I would imagine the one has flat controllable power and the other is designed to suck except this rpm range is loving balls out! So then you are constantly trying to get that sweet spot even if the road situation isn't.

SV650 is a great first bike...I put 50k+ on mine. The v-twin is more torque and smooth power where modern I4's don't have much down low but make power up top.  vs

Also, part of the general recommendations against I4 bikes for novices is how far they've come. Assuming you're looking up the right year CBR, that's 85-90hp... and now the equivalents are up to about 110 at the rear wheel, and even more biased towards the top end. 600s are more and more homologation specials that have a lot of optimizations made so that they can be faster race bikes, at the expense of concerns about being easy to ride. 20 years ago, they weren't nearly as far down that path. *edit* And dammit, now I'm thinking of finishing my SV650. Totally a great decision with a baby on the way right?

Still here echoing get a dual sport. A big thumper 650 would be perfect for Dave, right levels of power, indestructible, perfect for middle-of-nowhere riding. Definitely more hardy when he 'layerdaves it after he sees a biturbo and his motor functions shut off too.

I4s are frantic in power delivery like others have said. go with the SV. rifles posted:Still here echoing get a dual sport.

It seems he's after something a little sportier, so let n+1 (where n is the number of bike dave owns) happen  Supermoto is another fun crashable bike.

Sold it for $700, the buyer brought a friend who later turned out to be a goon but I didn't know that at the time.

Thanks for the graphs, I never considered looking at the power delivery rate and had just gotten as far as comparing numbers on paper. This is a big help. Now, say I did find two bikes of similar price, and one was a 650 single versus 650 dual. More INCHI DICKARI fucked around with this message at 17:33 on Mar 19, 2018 |

Dyno plots really get the point across easily for people that understand them. 650 single would be even more torque but less peak hp. Something like a KLR or DR 650 are good bikes but they'll be a little rough for long interstate trips since they'll be nearly topped out.

NitroSpazzz posted:Dyno plots really get the point across easily for people that understand them. +1 to the dr, there's a 790 big bore kit for it. It's pretty decent. No amount of fuckery will ever replace that lost sixth gear though. the twin will likely be smoother than a thumper. It also depends on the layout. Ptwins are pretty tame but make for good commuters. vtwins feel like two up thumpers and are good fun for powering out of corners. I too, started on an I4, fzr400

I started on a 2cyl LTD 440, then a year later got a GSXR750  My last bike was a CB-1 400 4cyl, rev happy and lots of fun. Then I almost got killed on it twice in the span of a week and gave up riding altogether

She's probably not wrong, but dammit, I liked riding and I've still got all my gear.

COOL DICK LUKE posted:comedy dyno charts My new bike is an F3. It's pretty docile and very easy going up until ~5k or so. After that, though, the power comes on surprisingly quickly for a 20 year old bike, and I can easily see where there wouldn't be enough time for someone fresh to riding to get out of target fixation or turn sharply enough to avoid controlled flight into terrain. I'm really happy to have learned how to ride on bikes with a lot less power where mistakes happen with enough time to resolve them. Edit: forgot to add, 5k to 11k feels like a second and a half in first at wot. Niacin fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Mar 19, 2018 |

We're running down to the bike place, dad is taking his F2 out to play, and he's given me the keys to his 275hp/320lb ft Focus ST to follow him and see what it can do.
