The Bar

What do you guys think? (keep in mind that the cables had yet to be cleaned up at this point in the installation) Gotta say the difference in handing is ridiculous, I've found that what was once the limit on a bend is now more than comfortable, plus I'm enjoying the new riding stance a lot, feels like this is how the bike should have come from the factory, not with those ridiculous mini apes. Probably gonna get a set of bar risers (it just touches slightly at full lock), shorten the wiring coming from the controls and get myself a new front break line (needed one anyway).

How ye, hello i just joined up, riding a 2000 TDM 850. possibly buying anudder wan amorrow fer the udder half. tra laa WiCkY

hi folks,just bought yzf750 absolutely mint full service history and standard, just changed pads + fluid cause i thought they were crap,ok now,but i'v a massive flat spot under 4,000 revs stalled it a couple of time's setting off pulls ok above this, now it could be me as i'v a speed triple too and you can set off sharpish without reving it any thoughts please

hi im thinking of buying new r6 2008 in blue, looking for some good advice on r6,is it a good buy, i have not been riding for 4 years now but looking to buy soon,thanks darren

Just bought myself a new set of wheels - A Yamaha XVS650 classic Decided to go for the chopper look over the plastic coated ballistic missile Was a choice between this or an 883 Sportster - I think I made the right choice Mike

Hi all, here's a piccy of my new purchase. I am delighted with it as it's been so well cared for by the previous owner. It's got full service history and low miles. Does anyone know the details of how many of these were produced? I understand they were done by UK dealers as a special. This one came from Groombridges near Heathfield, Sussex. Regards Mat

Well a dash down to Preston and back means my garage now has a Virago parked in it. Its bought for my boy so will need put on a rolling road and restricted, but the bike has been restored so wont need any spending for a while. Heres the fleabay ad until I get some pics of my own http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160951145865?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I hav my tdr 125 thats i love two much to get rid and am on my second fazer that i uese daily love it but i wanted a sports bike and had my heart set on an r1 but test drove a few and the r6 and didnt like them so gave up looking but then i came accross a honda cbr f4i . And had to have it . Its black my kinda colour and my god does it handle well . I think it was the seat that got me its like the seat on the fazer well thats me sorted for the sunday spins durin the summer if we get one in this country

Just picked up a fazer fz6. Had to drive 2and a half hours the other side of the country to get it bit the 2hour spin home was well worth it After having the 2000 & 2002 fazer this is the 2004 model and i am well impressed of how it drives and handles Bring on the good weather !!

Picked up my new XVS 1300 custom today, first new bike for about 35 years, only managed a short ride today but will be going for a decent ride tomorrow. Its amazing how different it is to ride compared to the 1300 midnight star that I had and funny being back with pegs again. Only disappointments are my solo seat and rack hasn't been delivered yet and that really crappy quiet exhaust, I mean come on Yamaha its a V twin its meant to be fucking LOUD, looks like I'll be changing or modding them sometime real soon.

Hey all, have just in the last few days upgraded from a ybr125 to an xj6n and although I'm totally loving it, I'm finding my hips ache and on occasion feel like they are gonna pop out of joint. One guy I work with (also a biker) says it's probs just a settling in thing. And come to think about it had similar issues when I started riding the 125. Any suggestions? man up!, give it time, bulk up you skinny git, Maybe a riding position issue?

I have just got a new Yamaha. I will be getting my Yamaha Chappy on Saturday. Its rough and bits are missing, but its the project I wanted. Great thing is I only paid £5.50 for it John

Hey guys! Just joined the forum as I'm going to collect a Brand new YBR125 on the 23rd of this month. I have all of the gear and everything and just completed my CBT yesterday on a scooter as I turn 17 on the day I collect it. Does anyone have any tips for me atall about anything, considering I'm going to be commuting 24 miles on it every day? Thanks very much, all comments appreciated!

im selling my tzr50 tomorrow for £800 and then buying a red 2011 Yamaha YBR 125 for £500 on saterday, whats your views on the YBR? speed, reliability, miles etc?

Just picked up my new bike today it's a 2000 yamaha 6ft 600 r thundercat now having owned all the fazer models Inc still owning a 2006 fz6n and previous had a cbr 600rr the old cat put a smile on my face .... During the test drive I had a grin from ear to ear... For what it is its an amazing bike !!

I've been thinking this over for a while now, I have a Fazer 600, 2005 that I (just about) swapped last year for a Varadero 125 that my missus had. I've ridden it a few times but It's just to, erm, how do I put it, Fizzy! I just don't like the way you have to wind it up to make it go, I like to be able to pull away with low revs and push the bike on. Don't get me wrong, this is a great bike for someone just past their test (or who've never had a big bike with loads of torque) - it's just not for me. So, I've been looking at what I can get to replace it. I need something that me and the misus can ride in comfort (the rear seat on the Tenere is just too high for her to g…

Ok Yamaha experts ... I need your advice. I am thinking Bout trading in my wee fazer for a 02 FJR1300. I took the FJR for a test ride and thoroughly enjoyed the experience - although I have to admit that the gear changes sounded a little clunky to me. I also found that the bike had to be ridden for a little while before it stopped conking out at lights etc. now, coming from a yamaha dealer it will (one hopes) be fully serviced before sale but I just wanted to canvass your views on the bike in general - any thoughts on what I should look out for? I mentioned the gear changes and he said this is more common in shaft drives? He did agree to take a look at the idling spee…

well i should be picking up my new 1300 midnight star soon. it is naked and i need a few things such as , sissy bar and large rack, passenger footplate, and windshield looking for advise as to which size is best. the problem is that the net is full of sellers. can anyone advice me as were to purchase these things. Yamaha parts are very expensive so if you can get the same things but cheaper then all the better. looking forward to you helping this new Yamaha owner who lives in Bristol. THANKS great site

Finally my bike has come and it was worth the wait. I'm really happy with it and it has lived up to my expectations. WhT a great feeling it is riding a brand new machine.

Finally found my new bike. It's an XJ900 diversion. I'm picking it up next weekend [emoji2] . I'll post up some piccies as soon as I can. Remember the Rubber side goes Down
