Ah the cookie tool, yeah i've just removed that temporarily. Trying to find one which isn't so visible once you've selected the options.

Hi all, the desperately needed website change is a work in progress, please let me know if you see any issues. Cheers Alex

I'll give them a go then, worst case can throw them at that price

Bloody hell that's cheap, it costs me that much to fill my tank up over here ;)

Has anyone tried any of the cheap eBay levers? Looks like there's lots of Pazza rip offs.

Glad it's all working mate, welcome back!

Welcome on board!

Sort of reminds me of a bat bike

This is outside work, I'll get some nicer ones up one day. Well winter's over and we don't have all this rain. Carbon concept front/rear huggers, screen, led indicators, tail tidy but in original location, Akrapovic exhaust, just need black levers and sets now

The MT was delivered Friday night, absolutely immaculate condition. Still amazed by the price. Didn’t even get a chance to go for a proper ride on it. And first commute this morning in the rain.

@jimmy I never thought I’d wish I was in Tenerife leaving in Sydney. But riding in to work at 9 degrees I do. How I’ve acclimatised ?

True but I hope that’s a rareity, I’ve only seen photos of the bike and considering just paying over the phone for it. Otherwise 400km drive there to look and buy and then same again to pick it up. It’s from a dealer so should have some additional security.

Can’t be much wrong with a 1yr old bike, well hopefully.

Forgot to say please make sure you delete your browser cache.

Yep wise words. Maintaining the site is bad enough let alone messing with exhausts ? I still want an old single shock Virago to make a cafe racer from just have never come across one yet out here. Off to look at a 2017 model on the weekend, fingers crossed. Any advice?

And you're using the test theme?

Thanks guys, yep another year has gone!

Thanks for the update, let's leave it until @jimmy's back and we can be sure it's sorted

I have a feeling it's from the annoying cookie tool we're using for GDPR compliance. I've created a new theme which has everything removed to try and isolate where the issue is, in the footer there is a link which says 'Theme' please click on this and select test. Please use that for a few days and let me know if that fixes the issue. I'll then need to add stuff back in until it breaks again. Thanks for your help with this and sorry for the issues.

Hmm. Nothing’s changed that’s odd. Please let me know if it happens again or is still happening for you.

Cheers guys, the other option is to get an older one and then upgrade in a year. My issue is I'll end up upgrading everything on the old bike, I just can't help myself ?

Should have been fixed a couple of weeks back

{{if $formValue}} {$value} {{endif}} Following a test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya three weeks ago, the Movistar Yamaha MotoGP Team return to Barcelona for round seven of the MotoGP World Championship. After securing a third place at the Mugello circuit, being serenaded by the Italian crowds, and simultaneously taking over second place in the championship rankings, Valentino Rossi is ready to commence the championship battle in Barcelona. The Doctor has a 23-point margin to the leader in the standings and hopes to strengthen his position as a title contender this weekend at a circuit that he knows like the back of his hand. He holds an impressive 13-year podium streak there, that lasted from 1997 to 2009 and was spread out over various classes (MotoGP, 500cc, 250cc and 125cc). He has secured the victory at the Montmeló track ten times in total, seven of which whilst competing in the premier class (2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2016). The Gran Premi Monster Energy de Catalunya is also a round Maverick Viñales looks forward to. He previously achieved four consecutive podium finishes there in the lower classes, with a second place in 125cc (2011), a first and third place in the Moto3 championship (2012 and 2013), and a second position in Moto2 (2014). He is yet to climb onto the MotoGP rostrum in Barcelona and has made that his goal for this weekend. Though the previous rounds demanded considerable effort from the Spaniard, the youngster still holds third place in the championship rankings, just five points behind his teammate. The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya has featured on the MotoGP calendar for more than 25 years now. It soon became a crowd favourite after hosting its first MotoGP race in 1992. The Catalan round is known as one of the most atmospheric and thrilling races on the calendar. This was further highlighted when the venue won the IRTA 'Best Grand Prix' trophy in 2001. However, the recent tragic passing of Andreas Pérez after round four of the Moto3 Junior World Championship, held in Montmeló last weekend, will cast a shadow over the upcoming GP. The Movistar Yamaha MotoGP Team's and Yamaha's thoughts remain with the family, friends and team of Perez this weekend. Source: yamaha-racing.com View full news

{{if $formValue}} {$value} {{endif}} Yamaha Racing’s bLU cRU star Galang Hendra Pratama wrapped up his Brno race weekend in supreme style yesterday, ending a weekend of dominant form for the Yamaha Pata | Semakin di Depan | Biblion Motoxracing Team with a stunning victory on the YZF-R3. The race itself was a drama filled spectacle reduced to just seven laps after a red flag two thirds into the round, leaving fellow bLU cRU riders Hugo De Cancellis in 16th, Luca Bernardi in 21st and Dennis Koopman in 23rd. Galang was the man to beat all weekend, and had lost none of his form come race day. Starting from pole position the Indonesian rider was temporarily passed by Ana Carrasco on the first corner but was quick to respond. It took just two turns to return to the front, a position he was then determined to hold on to. He out his head down and pushed hard, using the full benefit of his R3 to build a safety gap of several seconds to the chasing pack. From there it was a lonely ride to the finish line with no challenges, the race decided after seven laps with the red flag calling time. Galang leaves Brno having scored his second WSSP300 race win, the Brno pole position and the fastest lap! Yamaha Pata | Toth - YART Team Hugo De Cancellis made a strong start to his Brno race and was happily embroiled in an enjoyable battle with the leading group. Unfortunate contact with one of the riders in the heat of battle broke his rhythm and forced him wide, taking him away form the lead group. He was pushing hard to come back but with the race shortened after the red flag had to settle for 16th at the line. Yamaha Pata | Trasimeno Team Luca Bernardi found Brno a frustrating experience, having struggled in qualifying the race was challenge, however with focus and determination he was able to bring it home in 21st, gaining valuable knowledge to step up a level at the next round. Yamaha Pata | Semakin di Depan | GRT Team Dennis Koopman enjoyed his first visit to the Brno track, taking his time over the practice and qualifying to get to know the fast sweeping circuit. Having found a comfortable race pace he was looking to push on until an almost immediate incident with another rider cutting him off relegated him to 35th with a lot of work to do! The Dutchman worked hard to fight back up, making to 23rd before the shortened race also meant no further opportunity for him to climb higher. Source: Yamaha Racing View full news
