I recently decided to make an excellent change in brand, from a Suzuki to a Yamaha. Not trying to say that Suzi's are bad bike, because my Suzi brought a lot of pleasure to me. But this Yamaha FJ1200 is special. I bought from my girlfriends bad for a give away price and it's in mint condition and totally original. Any comment about the FJ?????

Hiya, recieved this PR from the RAF, thought I would post in its full: Thousands of bikers from across the United Kingdom will join together for a massive ‘Ride Out’ next month in support of the Armed Forces. The ‘RAF Wings Appeal Easter Egg Run’ will take place on Sunday 28 March and funds raised will go to the RAF Wings Appeal, providing help for past and present members of the RAF, including our troops currently serving in Afghanistan. The bikers will ride out from a huge variety of points across England and Wales, meeting up with thousands of others at the Meole Brace Park & Ride in Shropshire, before finally going on to RAF Cosford as one huge grou…

I've noticed a lot of threads on whether a 125cc bike is capable of touring, so I thought I'd add my two penneth. Based on my last 7 days, yes they are. Over the last 7 days, I've covered 468 miles, none of it on motorways. I took a 4-stroke YBR-125 and I didn't have a single hiccup. Last Saturday, 210 miles in 6hrs 15. South Wales to North Devon. Problems: none except chain had to be tightened a bit the next day. Mostly A and B roads. Wednesday, 57 miles in 1hr 30, North Devon to South Devon. Problems: none. Mostly cross country A and B roads. No breaks. Friday, 198 miles in 5hrs 50, South Devon to South Wales. Problems: none. Half on normal A roads, h…
