Anybody know how to go about getting a new bike imported here to the US.? I would love to get my hands on the new XT1200 Super Tenere but they are not offered here or in Canada. What a incredible bike and loaded with technilogical advances too! Maybe you know somebody at Yamaha Motor Corp. that can help. I also have a friend that desires one as well. You will too I am sure. If you are unaware of this bike google it. There also are post on youtube of the bike including ads from Yamaha. It seems like we always get cheated on the good stuff here.

I recently found a 1977 YZ125 project bike for a kidney patient in dire need of a project to occupy his spare time and help take his mind off of things. He is very excited about his new project, and had it stripped down to the frame the 1st day he got it! Now I am trying to locate the parts he needs to rebuild it. Anyone out there have anything laying around the garage?

The bikers will ride out from a huge variety of points across England and Wales, meeting up with thousands of others at the Meole Brace Park & Ride in Shropshire, before finally going on to RAF Cosford as one huge grou…

Having trouble with the bike starting after it gets warm. Green light is hard to get on, and cant figure out why the clutch switch wont let it start in gear, you know with the clutch held in. Now in the mean time you can push it off and starts every time. I have had the bike for going on 5 years and love it. My first bike. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I wondering if anyone has any experience or advice about the suspension of Fazer 1000's... It is well reported/known that the OE shock on the Fazer is a little overwhelmed and somewhat 'boingy' and many people stiffen them up by various means. I have a 9 yr old model and at about 10,000 miles I replaced the rear shock with a Maxton one and replaced the fork internals. 4 yrs and 25,000mils later and it feels like I'm riding a space hopper especially in bends which makes me lack confidence and takes some of the fun out riding! So my questions are, as someone who knows very little about how to set up suspension.... is my Maxton shock (a…
