As stated above, I ride a 2005 FZ6N which I've had for a couple of years. Before that I rode a Honda CBR250 and before that I had a Yamaha Virago. I also have a 90cc scooter which doesn't really get used much now-a-days as I just love riding my 600 My husband rides an 01R1 Streetfighter which he loves and really doesn't want to upgrade We also run our own motorcycle forum based in Australia ... it has bee…

    Well, just bought my first big bike, Ive got my test end of this month and will get her restricted for a couple of years. Shes a dragstar classic 650cc, and Im in love!! Im hoping to customise her as and when i can afford to do so, and was hoping some people on here may know where to get parts and how to sort out any problems etc. I do have a friend who has exactly the same bike, which is handy, but you can never have too many answers to too many questions.

    Hi Everyone! I've just registered and thought i'd say hello! I'm a new rider and have a '89 FZR 400 stashed away in the garage! Probably going to be picking your brains for information about servicing and repairs, as i can't find a manual! Might not be looking in the right place! So if anyone can help me that would be fantastic! See you in the forums! HaLo

    Hi everyone Just a quick post to say hello, I'm hoping to pick up an 81' DT 125 tomorrow so I'm sure I'll be full of stupid questions for the next while although looking at some of the excellent info on this forum hopefully there shouldn't be too many. I'm off to have a read and see if I can find some things to look out for when I view the bike, haven't had any dealings with a 2 stroke since I was about 15 and a Bultaco gave me a few bumps and bruises

    Hi, I'm lance. live up near carlisle up north, 23, and own a 2007 r6, (well, getting a 2008 one next week!) Have had a few bikes, from a little DT50, then a suzuki dr350 through to a Fzs fazer 600, a cbr 600, and the latest is my r6. By far the best bike i've owned, much lighter and more agile than the older cbr. anyway just saying hi, no doubt speak to everyone in hear at some time! will be out in the summer too, normally hit hartside pass, if anyone else on here is ever out and about that way.
