Hey wonder if anyone has any info?Here in the good old RSA models arrive or news on models arrives long after it happens in Europe.Some six months ago the 660 Tenere arrived here and has made huge waves as one far as up riding goes.I've heard rumours of further 800 and 1200cc models coming this year.Are these models known anywhere else?Touring on and offroad here is pure bliss and if rumours are true-the Beemer,etc crowd will cry like hell.

With all the let down from Yamaha over the go-anywhere 1200 Tenere, by let-down I mean yes the bike will go anywhere, if you can afford the dammed thing and as long as there is a road......... Sorry, Anyway, I was considering chopping in the XJR1300 for the New Tenere, but that's a none starter so I was looking at what else I could get.. And by chance I fell over the MidnightStar on the website. I know Goff has one, but my question to you all, well those of you who have some experience of cruiser ownership, what are the pro's and con's of one of these bikes ? The XJR is a bit of a plaything, and the only one of my bikes I use for pillion, so it has to be com…

This is a legitimate E-mail and not made up Dear Sir/Madam/Automated telephone answering service, Having spent the past twenty minutes waiting for someone at Strandtown police station to pick up a telephone I have decided to abandon the idea and try e-mailing you instead. Perhaps you would be so kind as to pass this message on to your colleagues in Strandtown, by means of smoke signal, carrier pigeon or Ouija board. As I'm writing this e-mail there are eleven failed medical experiments (I think you call them youths) in Parkgate Crescent, which is just off Mersey Street, Belfast. Six of them seem happy enough to play a game which involves kicking a f…

There is a medical distinction. We've all heard about people having guts or balls but do you really know the difference between them? to keep you informed, the definitions are listed below: GUTS-Is arriving home late after a night out with the boys , being met by your wife with a broom , and having the guts to ask "Are you still cleaning, or, are you flying somewhere?" BALLS-Is coming home late after a night out with the boys , smelling of perfume, and beer, lip-stick on your collar, and slapping your wife on the arse, and having the balls to say "You're next, fatty."

I just had the XJR1300 in for it's service, and the dealers gave me the choice of three bikes to take home. All of them had less than 200 miles on the clock, there was a R1, R6 and the new 600 Diversion. Now I've been on R1's and 6's before and to be honest they just don't float my boat at all, so I took the Divvy out under the instruction of using some of the fuel and putting some miles on it. After 40 odd miles I must say that I'm quite impressed with this little bike, sure it's not going to light any fires, it skips about on the rough pot-holed bits but as an entry level bike this is very impressive. Having owned a Fazer 600, I can say that I actual…

I have decided to build my own bike with parts I can get cheap, first thing I need to do if figure out what this engine is, I have kinda pegged it as an R1 but can't figure out what year it is. It has 348cc molded into it and the engine ID# is R1-09409.
