You can see the obviously cloudy sky in the background, and the picture makes it obvious that its overcast. That same shot in the sun would look very different. Regardless, the real kicker is the Euro Focus in the background that probably has 9 turbos from the factory. FORD

They're the ultimate form of poserdom in the motorcycle world? They're designed for nothing but being showpieces, and thats the only thing they do well, everything else they do, they do completely lovely. In a nutshell.

Yamaha used some pretty crappy fasteners back in the day. Every single screw on my RD350 was like butter. You'll learn to love the socket cap screw section of your local hardware store soon enough.

The easiest way, especially if your bike is getting dirty from riding in the rain is to hose it down quickly when you get home. Instead of drying with lovely road grime water on it, it dries with clean water.

MourningGlory posted:I just bought some, but I've convinced myself I'm going to screw up the install. Are there any secrets to putting this stuff on properly? It depends if its precurved or not. Precurved stuff is pretty simple, its just a matter of lining it up. Straight tape is a little harder. You have to work it on inch by inch so it gets around the wheel without kinking. It helps if the wheel/tape/surrounding air/your hands are warm when you do it.

It was a beautiful night in Milwaukee last night. I took the Bandit out and brought my camera equipment along. I paid $3 to get into this parking garage for the express purpose of taking pictures, so I'll be damned if I'm not getting my moneys worth.

It really does seem like they fall apart quickly  , but those motors have a ton of character and they're really just fun bikes to ride.

He would have ruined it if he replaced the rear suspension with rebar to make a hardtail, ripped the front brakes off and replaced the tires with poo poo that was out of date in the 70's. Oh, and exhaust wrap, always never dont wrap your exhaust

Small bikes own, now and forever, there is a reason that the only bike I'll never sell also makes 8hp. Twisting the throttle and having the world warp by like Star Trek is fun for sure, but after the 50th time you realize it's all the same. After the inevitable ticket and insurance hike you realize it's not worth it. After driving around at 20% forever to avoid another ticket you start thinking of ways you can get back to 100% AND not get a ticket. There is so much more to do on a smaller bike in my mind. They are the option that lets you have your cake and eat it.

Nidhg00670000 posted:The gearbox on my DRZ was pretty smooth as I recall it, the 690 feels a lot more agricultural on that point. Yeah, the DRZ gearbox and really all suzuki gearboxes are buttery smooth. My versys gearbox is much rougher than either of my drz's were. I don't know why people get hung up on that though, as long as it doesn't grind or pop out of gear I don't think too much about my gearbox.

clutchpuck posted:The drz has a 5 speed? Thoroughly surprised. I thought all Japanese bikes had 6 since almost forever. Drz has 5, but it also likes to rev, so it's not as big of a deal as people make it out to be. I mean, they'll do 100mph without hitting the limiter, well, chichivachis won't, but the rest of them will.
