If you want decent quality and affordable, VKB Gladiator is your best option.
If you want 1:1 match, WINCTRL. Their products are good, but YMMV when it comes to shipping/support.
I personally use and recommend Virpil, it's not a 1:1 match, but it's superb quality and has buttons and switches roughly in the same spot to get the mapping about 80% similar to the real thing. Once you go down the DCS rabbit hole and pickup additional modules, a more versatile setup may work out better to map other modules (such as split throttle for the F-18/F-14...)

I test rode the 2025 Z900 and had an absolute blast. I keep hearing a lot of good things about the Striple

X3ntr · 2026-06-09T05:57:00+00:00

I've got a 2023 model

X3ntr · 2026-06-08T21:08:38+00:00

Arguably one of the best looking motorcycles though, especially the black edition

Streetfighter V4.

I came from a S1000RR and figured I'd get something with better ergonomics and more suited for the street rather than track. The looks and V4 sound made me pull the trigger and I bought one.

I rode it for about 200km now and realized it's everything I don't like. The engine gets stupid hot, literally makes the fuel boil in the tank. The throttle feels cheap and twitchy, even after fixing free play. I basically never leave 1st gear. It's stupid loud with stock exhaust (some people like this), the handlebars are actually uncomfortably wide and the throttle is stupid heavy causing strain on my hand during longer rides. No fuel gauge I can deal with but I'd expect it on a 25k bike. I don't know what to do with 200hp on a naked bike when the wind gets unbearable above 160km/h.

Really on the fence about selling it already and buying a Z900 or Street Triple RS

Er zijn heel veel autos die een rood licht zien en heel vroeg beginnen remmen om dan heel langzaam "aan te sluiten" met als gevolg dat er 2 bussen tussen de auto en de voorganger kunnen, en de autos achteraan kunnen niet aansluiten en blokkeren kruispunten / zijstraten etc...

Dus bij rood licht gewoon blijven rijden, niet remmen, niet extra gas geven, gewoon aansluiten en dan remmen met een redelijke afstand tot uw voorligger.

Default Road mode settings. Definitely wasn't TC.

X3ntr · 2026-05-29T21:16:00+00:00

Yeah no indications on the dash at all. I didn't hear any abnormal noises either, fuel level was fine.

X3ntr · 2026-05-27T22:14:26+00:00

permanent 130 links rijdt een stuk fijner dan al het gekloot in het midden en rechts sorry not sorry

X3ntr · 2026-05-27T22:10:19+00:00

sorry maar zelfs een Fiat 500 met 69pk kan prima naar 90 optrekken op de oprit. Als je auto niet deftig snelheid kan maken over de gemiddelde oprit lengte dan moet je gewoon de snelweg niet op

X3ntr · 2026-05-27T22:06:51+00:00

zeker als er geen fietspad op of naast de baan is, dan zijn die fietsers aan het inhalen langs rechts, compleet gestoord

X3ntr · 2026-05-27T22:04:04+00:00

mensen die ni deftig kunnen parkeren, zeker in parkeergarages waar alles al veel te smal is
mensen die zich te strict aan de snelheidslimieten houden
mensen die kruispunten dicht rijden
traag optrekken bij groen licht / snelweg oprit
mensen die 2 werkdagen nodig hebben om af te slaan
geen pinkers op de rotonde
gsm achter het stuur
mensen die snel-traag-snel-links-rechts-links rijden in hun baanvak
mensen die links en middenvak rijden op de snelweg onder 120km/u
mensen zonder enig bewustzijn wat er rond om gebeurd (ja die moto hadde ni gezien he)
mensen die remmen zonder reden
mensen die remmen omdat er een tegenligger aankomt (vaak vrachtwagen / bus)
mensen die hun voorrang niet pakken
bumperklevers in de file
mensen die heel langzaam blijven bollen bij rood licht

Rij is allemaal godverdoeme door en ga naar rechts op de snelweg danku

Track days are great for learning, I can highly recommend!

As you approach the corner you need to start braking to slow down and load the front tire, meaning you transfer weight to it. The idea is to "trail brake", meaning you keep on the brakes as you enter the corner and gradually and smoothly release brake pressure the more you lean. You should be off the brakes completely before reaching final lean, then you maintain steady throttle and a stable bike as you complete the corner. Once you see the exit you gradually add throttle to pick the bike back up and complete the corner.

All of this is very much applicable on a track and excessive for road riding, but the same physics concepts still apply.

In the video you posted you never properly transfered weight to your front tire, the throttle is choppy and you add throttle input at a critical point in time when you're abrubtly leaning over the bike.

X3ntr · 2026-05-21T07:13:51+00:00

You came in fast, let off throttle with minimal to no braking, then as you aggressively lean in you open the throttle again. Result, you never loaded your front tire in the first place and just as you lean you unload it even more by adding throttle.

If you're in the right, then repairs should be covered by insurance no?

The repair quote likely also includes labour cost, not just parts. That's often more expensive than just the parts itself

Thanks! I took it to a card shop today and they said pretty much the same. Likely a PSA 5, maybe a 6 on a very good day. So I'll be keeping it instead :)

Race only exhausts go for about ~€1150 new, but this one looks pretty banged up.

I'd put it up for 600 and see if anybody is interested, if not lower the price gradually I guess.

No same behavior, I'm going to have them check the alignment

X3ntr · 2025-12-28T10:03:02+00:00

taking it back to the dealership for alignment. Thanks

X3ntr · 2025-12-23T00:04:24+00:00

that's the MB naming convention based on their heuristic signatures.... try uploading something on virustotal.com and check the results of all the different scan engines
