The Bar

I am new here and was just wondering if a sixteen year old can pass a CBT test but wait until he is seventeen and then purchase a 125cc bike without having to retake the CBT test again? Also, after passing the CBT test, is a full license presented or an updated provisional license? Kirk47

Hi there, I am trying to find a suitable aftermarket can for my FZ1. I've never had one before and apart from the choice out there I've come across an obstacle that even some of the dealers can't advise me on. The standard exhaust and can as you will know is also a cat. convertor and has a lambda sensor attached to it. My dealer has advised that the sensor should be retained, even with an aftermarket can. Here lies the problem. I am looking for a small carbon or stainless can together with a connecting tail pipe. Can anyone please give me advice re. the lambda sensor and suggest which makes of can might come complete with a fitment suitable to attach it to? Thanks, K…

Hi, I've found a brand new Yamaha TZR 50, the cheapest insurance was off a motorbike comparison website. I was quoted £350 third party fire and theft and I wondered if anyone knew where I could get it any cheaper? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm after some advice in process of buying 2000 r6 milage is 33000 but has got very good history too it. Any feed back would be great as this is my first bike.

anyone with 250?

First I would like to say hello to all, I have read a few posts and this seems like a great community. Finally I am getting another bike after nearly 10 yrs without. Somehow I went from my last bike CBR6 to a ford galaxy (not sure what happend there). Anyways, I am looking at ideally the xv1100 for many reasons BUT .. the wife is keeping the budget down on this so Im not sure that is possible unless I get lucky. So I think my options are xv750 or even xv535 (I know I know it's popular with the lady bikers). I'm not too fussed about the 535 for now to get me back into biking, its smallish but Im only 5'9 anyway. Without any further babbling, any other options…

Hi guys, as im sure you all know i am new to this website and i would like you guys to share some of ur wisdom with me. Well my problem is that i have £2400 lying in my pocket and i would like to buy a Yamaha tzr 50 and not some shi%^ty rs50 or s.s.s.scooter I would like to ride to places in style like you guys and not like these ch^vs on peds I have found a place that sell new tzr 50's for 2000 which i think is very good, considering an rs50 new is £2600. I would by one today but my mom is giving me the talk about how somebody else should suffer the depreciation and not me, but the truth is i want a bike that somebody hasnt thrashed or scratched and i can only f…

Have just got fzs 600 when decelarating or reducing running speed there is a vibration through the whole bike . Should I be concerned?

Hey all, i was wondering if i would be able to install usd forks on my fz6 and if it was possible, would there be any downsides to doing it. Any advice or thoughts much appreciated.

Hi everybody my yamaha tw 125 needs a new exhaust any ideas on where i can get one and roughly how much? My garage said about £150 and it may take a while as my bike's an import, so i thought i'd ask on here coz you all know your stuff

greetings! is there anyone out there that has a decent set up for standard suspension on a Fazer thou? i have dropped the yokes down the forks by 7mm and that has made the old girl turn in a shed load better!also gone down the renthal h/bars route-much more comfy and lightens the steering up[but watch out for clearance on your mirrors and screen[with the brake fluid reservoir]. hope someone can help. cheers.

Hi! Am looking to buy my first bike, passed my test a few months ago, decided to get it done before the test changes. Am looking to get a Fazer 600, the underseat exhaust model, but am on a budget at the moment due to having to pay the bloody council tax and car insurance, doh! Is it worth waiting till the winter to find a bargain or does that not change the price of bike much? Cheers James

Hi All, new to the forum so that I'd post up and introduce myself. Name is Stuart and I'm from Aberdeen. Just passed my test the other day and have purchased a brand new Fz6 (getting registered Monday). I work as a Network Security Analyst and Technical Consultant which unfortunately means using the bike for commuting is impossible - kind of hard to carry servers etc on a bike! Very much looking forward to gettting out on the road to practice and get used to the bike. I'm booking advanced lessons with an ex motorbike cop in the coming weeks and would like to achieve some sort of advanced riding certification. Will be a challenge, but I want to be …

Hi, Could anyone tell me which good two stroke to use? Any help would be appreciated.

bought a cheap camcorder last week and was wondering how to mount to the bike. the price for these camera mount are way over the top. so i nipped into my dads shed and found a block of ally after 40mins of miling and cutting i came up with this... I took the top piece from an old tripod i had:) this is a small clip from the camcorder fitted to the bike it was about 7:45pm so the light was fading but the quality is good still http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=eH2fpFUNo7M
