I think there was a second one up at the same time and they split the posters.
Today we are divided.

I'm trying to learn the blipping the throttle way. I ride an 06 Suzuki SV650S. Is there an effective way to do this that you guys have mastered?

In the msf course you'll never be going fast enough for traction to matter. Go easy on your front brake, don't brake while turning. Don't go WOT

Not that much. Just avoid lines, manholes and easy on the controls.

Listen to the difference in engine pitch when downshifting with just just the clutch, then mentalize how much more throttle you would need to bridge the difference.

Depends if you can keep your tire temp up and stuff like that. I've never had an issue with wet roads. It's the crap that gets washed all over the road that's a bitch.

No one who owns a gs500 talks about it. They might say it makes for a good commuter and learner bike, but that will be about the extent of it. Unless you ask about it.

This happened every time I went to turn around becuase of how aggressive I am with the throttle

When you upshift. Pay attention to the revs and by how many they drop.

Now when you downshift you want to rev up whatever the difference was, maybe a 100 rpm more.

Just be aware that differnt rpm and speed in same gear will make a difference too, it wont always be 500rpm difference for example.

Hey guys, long time trip fag and meme poster.

Im turning my Audi S6 in the spring, and I think im gonna buy a DualSport because Im in college and im commuting maybe 2-3 miles daily in total. Im looking at buying a CRF250L or maybe something slightly better?

Budget:
>4-6k for the bike, i could buy outright but I wouldnt mind a short term financing to boost my credit score.

Needs:
>A reliable DS that can commute daily no problems
>once every few months do a commute back to new orleans where I live which would be about ~70 miles
>also do a little off roading

Desires:
>decent gear that doesnt look faggy
>im not trying to get into the whole meme culture of "YO BRO LOOK AT ME RIP THIS WHEELIE WHILE WEARING MY TANK TOP 420$$" (already owned a WRX STI and sold the car because the community is so cancerous)

I would get a Ducati scrambler if it wasnt so hard to find, and I would get a honda grom but... its almost too small.

id prefer the DRZ, im not entirely interested in an adventure bike.
>>13763176
youd recommend the drz400 over the CRF250L? I really find myself attracted to the CRF because i am paying for it myself, and I would prefer to minimize cost.

the CRF is a fragile piece of shit.
The DRZ is decent. It can do it all but not great at anything.
650s are supposedly the most comfortable.
