You can either be uncomfortable communing in Vegas heat on a CBR600 or you can be uncomfortable in Vegas heat pushing a Royal Enfield. Either way it does not end with you being comfortable.

Aprilia has maybe the best swingarm game in the entire bike market. They always look cool as hell. It’s a weird thing to point out, I know, but they always stand out to me

A drz400, or a dr350/650 would probably be perfect for your use case. There is also the Honda XR650L that might be in your price range as well. Not sure if all of those were sold in Sweden or not though, sadly Things like the KLX300 and WR250 are probably also about perfect for that but are new enough that they’re probably out of the price range.

I wouldn’t buy a whole other bike just for wheelie practice, but if you do, cheap dirt bike is the actual answer, unfortunately. I wouldn’t start on a 600 sportbike, they make no torque and have to be revved to the moon generally to wheelie

Yeah if reliability is key, you want one of the big 4 Japanese manufacturers I get the sentiment. I have pushed far too many dirt bikes out of the woods in 90 degree heat

I’m sure the 650 burgman rips. You can also tune the CVT’s in these for low end or top end. I had a set of rollers in my elite that made it really quick off the line, it was super fun.

Slavvy posted:I'm not an F1 guy but my understanding is the electric motors are used to help keep a turbo spinning and don't actually drive the car It’s both. There is a motor/generator on the turbo shaft that the driver can actuate to alleviate turbo lag, and another attached to the crankshaft that can act as a sort of hybrid system. Both of these charge a lithium ion battery pack when not in use and then tap it for power when requested. https://motorsportexplained.com/formula-1-ers-explained/

Bandit 1250 should definitely be on the list These all seem fuel injected, so I’m guessing carbs are a no? Did the ZX12R ever come with FI

morothar posted:So while I’m happy with the Trident, it plain sucks in cold weather compared to the adv bikes I’m used to riding. Turns out naked bikes are… naked. I can speak from personal experience that goldwings are rideable until there is ice on the ground. By default they handle the elements great down to the mid-40’s or so, and from there to freezing it’s a matter of some heated gear and/or further wind blocking. Newer goldwings can be had with factory heated grips and seats as well as air vents that open near your toes to pump hot engine bay air onto them. Before I broke my foot this fall I was riding down into the mid 40’s without my heated gloves and last year I rode till there was ice on the streets with a couple days below freezing just using my heated gloves and keeping all the vents closed. Let’s be clear, a car is the only way to truly be comfy at freezing temps, but a goldwing is probably second to that. The riding position on a goldwing is very UJM. You are sitting upright with your feet under you, like you would on a UJM, essentially, just with a more upright torso position.

A parts pile is not necessarily a bad thing. I've ridden bikes for years that started as a parts pile An aborted cafe racer project is the real red flag here. However, a parts pile or a cafe racer project turned parts pile are no good for someone who hasnt wrenched on bikes pretty extensively before. The parts pile will require a lot of knowledge about general motorcycle assembly and design going into the project just to get it together.

In the US? They’re a bit more rare. A lot of the dirt bikes were two stroke watercooled, but enduros tended to be air cooled

There is not too much to worry about on DRZ’s. They are very reliable and well built. For that age machine you should plan to replace the cam chain tensioner with a manual one, some of the early auto tensioners are known to have issues maintaining tension. Suzuki fixed it in later years. Also plan to loctite the stator bolts as they very rarely back out but when they do it takes out the stator and engine case. The main thing is that they get ridden hard, so check for damage, bent forks etc. Also check for sketchy mods and use any you find to drive the price down further, although from that picture it doesn’t look like it’s really been messed with.

Horse Clocks posted:You won’t regret it. Or you will, but you’ll mask it by referring to its 25 year old … everything as “Suzuki supremacy”, or suggesting any failure in it can be fixed with JB weld, and being adamant that “why do you need anything more than 30hp” or “I don’t need abs” This, but unironically

It’s extra funny when it happens to a bike that costs more than a new Lexus and is supposed to be “the best bike available”
