I just purchased a 2007 V Star 1100 Custom Midnight, my first bike without tach. Can anyone tell me approx how fast can go in each gear, trying to do it by ear but wondering if i am revving too little or too much. May get a tach eventually. Thanks for any help.

I used to have a TW125, and I only sold it as I was starting a business. I really liked my TW125, but its was slow with me on it. So I wanted to see if i can get a bigger cc version. My only other choice is to get a cheap old TW125 and by lots of tuning bits from: www.tw-parts.com Which I don't have a problem with, but I would prefer a TW225 more. As I want to use it at weekend, to get to Wigan. Plus have the power for two people. Thanks John P.S. Also I would consider …

Hello from Tassie, and yes, we have roads and petrol down here, no horses and carts. top site, where or which country is this based in? some friends and i have a site called www.trailriderz.com.au which we meet and waffle crap to each other and keep alive a healthy Yamaha versus KTM shit hanging match... which there is really no competition..

Hi, I've got a xj600s divvy and I wanted to try and get some of the blemishes and the odd white mark off the fairing. What would be a good thing to use to do this? I was thinking t-cut would do the trick but I'm unsure because its fairing and not metal so to spk. Any suggestions?

Hi folks: I'm hoping to dust down my old jacket etc and get back out on 2 wheels after a spell of 9 years of not biking. I've recently bought an old 1987 YX600 Radian as a project to work on, so that hopefully I will be able to get back out on the road by the summer. I need a few parts and am having difficulty in locating them - if anyone can help me, i'd be most grateful - the bits that I need are: - Front brake master cylinder - Front brake light switch - The Rubbers which sit between the carbs and the airbox - Fuel Tap Seal Kit Fingers crossed! Hope you can help. Many thanks, Steve.

Ladies and Gents firstly hello to everyone and thanks for having me!!!! Second hears by problem looking fro a first "proper bike" love the idea of a fazer... i was thinking of getting a fazer 600 but i've seen a nice 1000 offer.ed in better condition than the 600 i'd been looking at and ultimatly that what i'd like to own. Thinking save's loosing money to buying one to sell, to buy what i want insurance wise there is £12 in it so there is not much realavence in insurance costs. Do you guys think a fazer 1000 would be too much for a first ride??? alll input welcome even if its not what i want to hear!!! Thanks
