    How long to sell a FZ6?

    3,600 US dollars is a fair price for the bike, but 2 previous owners and lots of "race-type" changes or additions to the bike are scaring buyers that will ask themselves "was this bike hard-ridden on the track? who needs this modifications for decent street ride?". There is no way to know how...

    How long to sell a FZ6?

    It always depends on the price, description and pictures. In your case the price seems ridiculous (no offence intended): I bought my 2011 S2 brand new for just $1,000 more (including about $1,500 in taxes) , so right now my bike with 19.500 km is worth less on the local market than you are...

    Swan-necking - is it getting more prevalent?

    Is it turning slightly left when you actually want to turn right, so you have a wider turn, like a long lorry (truck)?

    France bans earphones whilst riding and driving

    I don't ride often in France (I stop on the German side of the border and turn back :D), but I still consider the rule to be shooting too wide. I am using the Sena with the earplug base plate, so I hear in the earbuds the navigation and intercom - this is more important than any music and I...

By comparison the Phillips bulb was showing a horizontal...

    bd43's 07 Headlight Mod Part 2

    More than 2 years after I did my mod, the story and the conclusions: - I bought the excellent quality wire harness from bd43 and mounted it on the bike around Jan 2013 - I was riding this way until Nov 2013 with absolutely no problem - back in Nov 2013 one day driving home in heavy traffic (lots...
