I am so excited. Picked up my new R6 on Saturday. I did have a J1 ZX6 and the difference is amazing. Of course I couldn't pick up just the standard model I have had a Micron high level stainless steel can put on and a cowl. I have short legs so they have also pushed the forks through the yolks for me to lower it a bit, and have also taken off the back foot rests so it looks like the dogs b*****ks!!! Of course fingers were crossed on Saturday night down the pub that the weather for Sunday would be dry and not quite so cold............and God answered my prayers. 7am and I was looking out the window waking up the hubby. Finally got out on it at 12pm. Smile …

anyone watching it? it's about an american who's came out of a coma that he's been in in 19 years! can you imagine that! he still thinks he's the same age as he was when he went in. it must have been very hard for his family, not to mention his mental state when he came out of it.

I'm looking at purchasing a Bike on Ebay. The Bike in question has a different decal on the left fairing than the one on the right. The seller swears that the bike came like that new from the dealer. The right decal appears to be the correct one and left appears to come from the year earlier model of the bike. Is there any way that he's telling the truth and somehow this bike had mismatch decals on the fairings brand new from the dealer?

Hi. I'm a bit confused about what tyre presure i should be using, .. the tyres on my bike are still the original ones that were on the bike from new ( it's only done just over 6k miles, Although i'm the 3rd owner ) .. I don't know what make they are, probably some cheepo make, it doesn't say anything on them as to what presure to use, but in the owners hand book it says 28/32 but i have read on other websites that there is now a general standard of 36/42, Do you use the presure that the owners manual says or go by the brand of tyre, ( or a mix of both) .. What did those of you that have /had a divvy use (pressure wise). Sorry about all of the questions, maybe t…
