Re: BS, PR, marketing,muppets what a Joke

I like the bike. I'd pick a different color, but it's a nice departure from the normal blinged out Hayabusa. It has a gixxer 1k tail swap, a clear clutch cover, a single sided swingarm, and the most obvious mega-expensive clear wheels. I think what was ground breaking was the collaboration of Suzuki...

Re: kawasaki pulling out of motogp

The only bike that they made that was appealing to me was the ZX-9R, which was heavy compared to its competitors, but was the most comfortable. It seems that the company comes out with good bikes, and then they fall off when the competition catches up or surpasses them. For example, the ZX-9R, ZX-6R...

Re: It happens in three's.

I don't want to sound like everyone else who's lended their support to you here, but things will get better. They may not get better when you want them to, but it will get better. Here's my story: Got out of the Army in '97 and landed a job fairly quick with a company that makes polishing slurries f...

Re: Need rear tire for 600 FZR

I have had three BT014s (140/60-18) on the back of mine. Love 'em, nice tire. Sticks nice and all that. But, I was only getting 3500 miles or so out of them. So, this last time I replaced the rear with the Avon AV56 in 150/70-18. I love it! Great tire, seems like the profile is better suited to the...

Re: Best looking Scooter I've Seen

My wife and daughter want to learn how to ride, and they both underestimate the mental aspect of it. My plans for the both of them are to put them in a MSF class next spring and get them a Ninja 250 to share. My youngest (8) is going to get a Yamaha TTR-50 and will learn how to ride on the dirt. I ...

Re: Best looking Scooter I've Seen

It wouldn't sell here for two reasons. The first being that you'd have mothers across the country screaming because their "little" boy wants to ride it, and the second being that people who just want simpler transportation (scooters) would ignore it because they'd have to get a motorcycle license. I...

No wonder I can't find a decently priced (cheap) YZF swingarm.

Losing low beam

I'm sure that this has been posted elsewhere, but I can't find it. So here it goes.... I have a 92 FZR and for some reason I keep blowing my low beam headlight, but the high beam runs like a champ. Anybody know of any issues that may cause this? I have no other electrical issues besides this - every...

Re: Differences in Octane! I tried this and WOW!

I don't live far from a gas station that sells 100 octane, and I used it in my FZR after it was sitting up for a couple of years. It's $6.49 a gallon, so I won't be using it much. I don't use anymore than 2 gallons anyway. Another gas station about 30 min. away sells 103 octane. I think the higher o...

Re: Safer on the Bike

Let's not forget the people who like to read books and newspapers while their driving. screwy I love to read too, but it's not that serious! I have experience driving in Europe where there's zero tolerance for nonsense behind the wheel. You screw something up over there, you're going to pay for it a...

Re: First ride in a few years

Warning the post below is a bit long. I've had my fair share of police bashing moments, and I thought it was time that I gave them a break. I don't hate police officers in general. I just hate the ones that abuse thier authority, use their discretion to write tickets for laws that they break, etc. ...

Re: Safer on the Bike

I definitely feel safer in my car. I'm starting to ride again after a few years, but there have been many times when I've seen something beyond stupid being done, and have been happy that I wasn't on my bike. A couple of weeks ago the wife and I got in the mood for a late night milkshake and on the ...
