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…

Just been over to my neares Yamaha dealers to take a look at the new XVS950A Midnight Star. I have to say it is absolutely GORGEOUS. Its light, comfortable and i do beleive Yamaha may have got it right this time. Looks wise, its sleek and sexy, the matt black compliments the chrome and tones it down a tad which i think looks so much better than the gloss black frame of the 650. The only thing im not keen on it the fact that the brake fluid reservoir is right on the front, but i can live with that. So - am now negotiating with the dealer for one of these babies - fingers crossed for monday!

Stumbled across this site earlier today http://www.r6-forum.com

Hi everyone, sorry for the short notice but the Yamaha Owners Club wesSite will be down from 1300 GMT Tuesday 3/Feb so that we can move our hosting. This should take under 48 hours. Our new hosting will be on a distrubuted server platform which will mean that the site will be much more reliable and since several servers will be answering your queries rather than one, much much quicker :-) The inconvenience will be worth it!

hi drewp ,,,, cana seem to use PM. + GETTING ON TO PROFILES [MINE + OTHERS .. ]] had to sart this topic to communicate ,,

Yep, it's snowing. 3-4" deep, more in other places, cars are backed up, there's grit everywhere, people are absent from work, all the local schools are shut....... ......And I'm sat here at work, having ridden all the way here in 2nd gear. The snow wasn't a problem once I got onto major roads. However, I still haven't gotten around to buying any Pro FST yet, so my carbs are icing and I stall at every fecking red light!!! Who else has been brave/stupid this morning, then?

WHY MEN SHOULD NEVER WRITE AN ADVICE COLUMN; Dear Larry, I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't driven more than a mile down the road when the engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbor's daughter. I am 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbor's daughter is 19. We have been married for ten years! When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six months. I told him to stop or I would leave him. …

Ok - so now i got me a nice new bike i was wondering what - if anything - i should be doing. Yes ive had "new" bikes before and i am quite capable of looking after them but i have never actually owned a brand new-zero mileage-straight-out-the-showroom bike - so in your opinions - is there anything i should be doing to keep her tickety boo or do i just keep on doin what im doin? Cheers! Goff (not too proud to ask for help )

Don't know if any of you guys have seen this but take a look - " URGENT ACTION NEEDED - by YOU! Apparently Transport for London are receiving very few comments from motorcyclists about the new London-wide TfL trial of motorcycles in red-route bus lanes. The latest news is that as part of the evaluation of the scheme 'users views' will be taken into account and 'numbers responding' will play a part in this. Clearly none of us want to see a situation where 5,000 cyclists have protested and 200 motorcyclists support. It's this kind of thing that would shift the political balance against us. However, cyclists campaign groups are steadily orchestrating a build …

I got an xs450, but there is nothing securing the seat to the frame. There are some tongues that the seat slides into, and there is another vertical *thing* that the seat has a tongue slides into... but it just rests in there. I tried putting a screw/bolt in there and it got stuck. Is something supposed to go there?

Sheer class HERE

I've seen this rack on a CB1300 at a local dealers, I like this rack as the black pad rotates to sit down as in the picture, or turns to form a more upright backrest. The dealer has no idea where it came from (was on the bike when they got it), but I realy like it (as will the missus). The problem is that I'm not buying the CB as I've got a better deal on a XJR1300. Has anyone got any idea what make this is, where I can get one, something similar - it's the spinny back rest I really like, so the tail fin things from Givi aren't really it.

can eneone tell me if they know of what fults the fjr has as im thinking of getting one ive read the review s and they seem ok if u got one or know of em thanx ride safe

probs the wrong place for this, but when will there be an arranged ride out around the Lancashire area?... If any1 wants me to try arrange something, let me know whos interested... Weathers looking crap this weekend :-( Last wkend was great!.. got out on sat and sunday, totalled about 4hrs I'd say, also had to use the reserve tap for the first time as my brother must've re-set the mileage at some stage... duh!.. and of course, it had to happen at the worst place... (roundabout junction) lol Just out of interest, what range is there on reserve?... (assuming you're riding economically!) regards, -Mits-
