A large Shoei fits. I've just tried it.

Hmmmm 200HP per liter! :) Think this means 120HP since its a 600cc. But, damn, that would be nice!!! ahahahah! I personally dont like the new front headlights. It's seems like a pair of funky googles. And nevermind the front fairing decals... I like the new black paint though.

Nice post and pics. Looks like you've lived the ride and not simply ride. It's good to take the time to look around. I was skeptical about IH but, must say, you make it interesting (that first one is gorgeous). Thanks again!

What a coincidence! For the beginning of August, I've planned 4 days on your soil and 6 other days for the Gaspésie, N-B and NS. If you see a fully sport-touring FZ6, that should be me! I'll be grateful for a wave! :) Must admit, the whole point of the trip is to see New Foundland. I should be...

Well, living in Montreal like you and never had a problem with my helmet on. Never had in: Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC neither. I see the point of having to remove the helmet but it's a PITA for me. I'm paying with my credit card anyway in advance (no special points), mostly...

Gratz! That pic was and still is the greatest of the bunch. No wonder we're seeing more and more questions about naked fizzer now... Maybe Yamaha won't wait anymore for a US naked version. We have a winner!!! :thumbup:

Thought 99 was impressive. Well, from jct 1 to Pemberton, that is. Lots of curves, awesome landscape, but lots of RVs too... But, hey!, I'm not used to the Rockies, I live on an island! Gimme a chance! ;)

So how was that ride? :)

I looked at the Harris ones. Simply looked slippy but they're maybe not. Saw one of these installed on the "Other" forum... Maybe you should ask. I'm getting used to the 724 now... I guess, on long trip, this could be interesting. More grip meaning less force on the grip in the end, which I'm...

Personally, I need to get used to it. I'll come back on it in a week or so. But if you think OEM were too big, these could be nice for you. Oh! And they look great too! :cheer: For now, I would say OEM are better. Less grip, but bigger and that's what important to me.

Did it last weekend and just approving everything said. I would buy something else. Actually, I tought they would be bigger but they fell smaller (maybe 'cause of the gel fabric?). +1 Definitely more grippy. PS: Exacto and simple hand sanitizer (Purell) did the job.

Nicey! :thumbup: I think I'm more of the intermediate type. Oh! Le beau site! :D Thanks again!

Thanks for your time and your in depth review of the day. REALLY appreciated!!! I'm still waiting for my inscription (they are not that "FAST" on the subject...). Your two days in a row advice was my first choice, but I'll keep the money and the extra day for a small trip in Gaspésie. So the...

FAST? Hey! I'm trying to get a place for the 5th of august and still waiting for an answer. Are you doing the Phase 1, 2 or 1&2? I would definitively like to know about your experience there! :)

If I can simply recommend a book I read: Sport Riding Techniques from Nick Ienatsch. You'll have there the complete explanation and not the simple "how you need to brake". It's a really a good book for race and street riding. It's also available on the web by torr.... oh but I can say no more ;)...
