Hi Everyone, Complete novice at this game not sure if i'm hitting all the correct buttons. Purchased my first sports bike last August (R6). i have owned a 600 Bandit, 600 fazer, Speed Tiple, Sprint st, and now the R6 over the last 7 years. Why it took me this length of time to buy a sports bike i not sure. What a revelation, it's light, handles like a dream and is plenty quick enough for the UK roads, (not sure about the stock Dunlops though, all the other bikes have been shod with Bridgestones)Waiting for the weather to improve, so that i can get out more with my mates for a blast on the west country roads.

Just couldn't stand it anymore....& had to get out on Sunday & enjoy this Killer weather we've been having .....especially before I started my new job today. Headed to my favorite stomping grounds....the Upper Clackamas river area. Stopped here @ the Carver Bridge boat launch.....which is a great place for swimming during the summer.... Then it was onto Springwater Rd. towards Estacada, where there's some great views of Mt.Hood... Being the time of year that it is......I had to ride around locked gates that closed off roads that are usually open later in the year..... something an XT is GREAT for ... This is a little day use area th…

Hello Everyone, This is my first time here. I am hoping that someone can help me out. I am in the process of fixing up a 1992 FJ1200 that I bought. I am really having problems finding an aftermarket smoked windscreen for a 92. I can find some but the year only goes to 90. Does anyone know if a 90 windscreen will fit a 92?. Also if anyone has some good websites that I can visit for parts that would be great. Thanks everyone and have a good day! Jeremy
