I have been running on these guys for just over 300 miles. These are great tires!! I still have the mobility on the twisties. I also like the firmer feeling while riding in upright position. +1 on the tires if any one is looking for them.
I also found that Motorcycle-superstore.com was the...
BTW.... i almost got my nuts punched when i accelerated to show her the power....
"Honey do you want to feel power?" "yes" she answered. "gave it the beans (as the british say) and she started hitting and sqeezing me :)
I guess she didn't like the fast feel. So when she goes we just joy ride...
My wife was my first passenger. The bike handles a lot different i'd say with a passenger. The turns need to be taken slower. I also found that the rpms needed to be slightly higher than normal in order to get the power (due to weight). I also no that the FZ has a weight limit of 400lbs.

may keep from cutting your throat open if in a crash....... just a guess

Last week i was out riding in the back roads around where i work and i saw a 5-10 year old kid riding a little dirt bike around in his front lawn full gear and all. I went by and rev'ed and waved at him. He got all...
I do the same thing, since fuel economy doesn't really hurt my wallet yet. Although i don't go around riding it in the double digits (RPM) all the time. I tend to shift from 5-9000 RPM depends on which gear i'm in as well. For instance i will tend to shift sooner if i'm in a small town with...
I started off looking around not knowing what i wanted to get. I went to my local Yamaha shop and looked around. I knew the lady would only allow up to 5G's so i was limited by price range already. My buddy was with me who wants to get a bike but is still paying for his 911 turbo project tapped...
