The Bar

Hi everyone, This might be a delicate question, since this is the Yamaha realm, but any reply to this question would be highly appreciated. I currently still live in the States and plan to move back to Austria by summer. (Can't wait to be in Europe again...) Since I've been riding a ZRX over the last years (as you probably know, no other naked muscles are available here), there's no question that I'll stay in this class of bikes. I can't wait to upgrade once I'm back home! I've been researching online like a madman, and it's absolutely clear that it'll only be a xjr or a gsx. They seem equaly awesome, but both also have a downside... The gsx is out of pro…

Hey there all my name is amy. I was coming back from a wicked night at the Ace last weekend i blew my engine(bottom ends) (1998 R, YZF600 Thundercat), luckly i was on the hangerlane roundabout and it didn't happen on the motorway, but i'm still well upset as its the begging of FAB weather and me and my baby cant go out and enjoy it.

HI 2 U ALL.JUST JOINED WILL GET 2 KNOW U OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

I have had a 82 Yamaha Maxim XJ55O for about 15 years. It has 12,700 miles on it and it still runs great. I live in South Dakota so I am just now able to start riding this year. I am looking at replacing the rear tire (it's getting a little dry and cracked. I have the Dunlop Gold K127 130/90/16 and I plan to replace it with the Kenda K657 Sport Challenger 110/90H-18 from Tires Unlimited (http://tiresunlimited.com/default.htm). I am curious if anyone has an opinion about switching to this other tire size. How will it affect the ride? I am also looking at replacing the original dual exhaust with a 4 in 1 from Old Bike Barn (http://www.oldbikebarn.com/part.php?i…

Hi All, New to the forums and to riding motorcycles. I decided to learn since I am being given a 1990 Radian 600 with 13000 miles. Hopefully you'll hear from me more in the months as I begin to experience the thrill of riding without a cup holder.

Hi all, Does anyone have a recommendation/comments when it comes to getting those extra or ultra bright light bulbs? I am looking at replacing the R1 bulbs with some Piaa bulbs, I know they are not cheap but if I get twice the dazzle it might make people see me , I have not seen any other bulbs that offer twice the light output for the same current. Thanks

Got a good start this morning…..was throwing a leg over the Beast right @ 4:20am. Nice & clear weatherwise…..ended up making good time as traffic was just shy of Non-existant. Here’s a nice view of Mt. Hood from the East side just @ the edge of the Warm Springs Indian Rez….. Musta got my wires crossed with my friend…..as he wasn’t home when I got there. I figured he was either @ work or up Skiing (lucky Bastid) , as the weather woulda been perfect for a day of Spring Skiing. So, I had to check out the view from the top of 4,000ft. Pilot Butte while I was here…… I then decided to set off for the Tumalo Reservoir area myself….. & Wha…

Hi All Well now i have done it, after riding for years "when i was a lad" (but never passing my bike test (i know im a kn*) and being turned to the dark side by them 4 wheeled things, i have now bought a XV125 Virago. Been thinking about bikes for ages now but always resisted as i know i will be hooked on them again (I had an 80cc sports bike and did 23000 miles in under a year, mad or what) What finally did it was sitting in the queues at the blackwall tunnel for the past 6 weeks and watching with envy as the bikes slip past (well they do by me coz i get out the way) it was getting to be 3 hours to get to work and 2 to get home (only 40 miles) Pick it up…
