    An 1125R for $2500??? Should I do it???

    I rode the 1125CR at Infineon in November. Really nice ride. Didn't have a chance to try out the "R" version, but the bikes are very, very similar. Engine is great; torque everywhere, Rotax reliability. Suspension was just fine at spirited track pace. Ergonomics... well, that might be not...

    Is Water Wetter Better?

    Guys, stop disseminating misinformation and read their web site (Red Line Oil: Coolants and Others): 1) It is not an anti-freeze, though it may be mixed with anti-freeze 2) It provides equivalent lubrication/anticorrosion properties as anti-freeze 3) It will make your bike run cooler...

    What to buy with $150.00????

    Bling is for posers. If you already have gear, treat yourself to a trackday. If you don't have gear, buy gear and start saving for trackdays. Note that most trackday providers will rent you leathers for the day, so you only need good boots and gloves (and of course, your lid) and you're good...

    How much can you use brake in a turn???

    This is pretty much spot on, and I don't think that the fact that Freddie's school has folded makes him wrong. I trailbrake (so do a lot of others), though mostly on the track; anybody who rides aggressively enough on the street that they want/need to trailbrake on a regular basis is asking for...

    Pirelli Diablo Tire Sale $179 a Pair!!!

    Whoa! 22 days?! Isn't it all cracked and brittle? :eek: Be careful on the track! :justkidding: Seriously, the Diablos deal is screaming. If you need new, sticky shoes this cannot be beat, IMHO. If you're not a Pirelli guy or are afraid you'll wear them out too quickly, they are...

    FZ6 - Sound

    Oh, c'mon, guys. If you get the RPMs up over 7k, it makes plenty of noise, and it's plenty sweet. It's an inline 4 and it needs to be wound up! If you're looking for lots of exhaust note at 4k RPM, then I'd suggest a Ducati. Here's an idea. Ride the hell out of it for a year, maybe more...

    Your post is a little confusing. You say that the racks are the PL360, then you show a photo...

    Your post is a little confusing. You say that the racks are the PL360, then you show a photo with the V35 cases, implying that they go with the rack. If the racks are PL360, then showing the V35 cases is incorrect, because the V35 cases require the PLX360 rack. All of this information is on...

    Crazy for wanting a career overhaul?

    Don't ignore your muse. That said, don't forget that you are responsible not just for yourself now. Your hard work has put you in a position in which you have options. Don't give that up too easily. You have a lot a free time that you could use to pursue other interests; perhaps that's...

    Ignition Key hard to turn/Insert

    WD-40 is not a lubricant (common misconception). Lithium Grease and oil will attract dirt, which eventually will cause all manner of troubles. Graphite mixed with a little water/oil is essentially dirt. Why not just use Silicon spray? It's hydrophobic (good for those of you that live...

    WTB: GIVI PL351 Racks and Bags or PLX351 Rack

    Subject pretty much sez it all. I'm interested in just the rack if it's a PLX, or the rack and sidecases if it's a PL.
