It's a single - one big ol' 660 cylinder. I've had some 650 singles, and this one feels grunt-ier than any of those - maybe because it's a quad engine (from the 660 Raptor). It's an MZ Skorpion Tour.

My current streetbike. Is Yamaha engine in East German frame. Jawohl!

They sell what the US public will buy. They saw the Ninja 250R selling for way over MSRP, and thought, 'Hey, we can wrap a cheap steel-frame bike in garish plastic, too!'

Leathers and trackdays. Best mods ever.

Yarp. CMSP.

Too bad - I liked the 600cc. Plenty for the street, good on insurance (my company goes strictly by displacement). I did recently pick up a bike powered by a Yamaha Raptor engine (the 660cc carbed one) - a bit of a different animal than the FZ!

Givi bags on the standard Givi mounts. You can fit the E21s for regular use, or something bigger for everything-including-the-hairdryer. The E21s were as much as I needed for daily use and the odd camping trip. They're no wider than the handlebars, so they're good for lanesharing.

This should be the TCP Cowl That Travels The World. :D

5'1". One foot down at stops (shifting a cheek off if necessary), other foot on peg (right foot on rear brake helps with stability). Much more stable than trying to tippytoe, and I've never had a problem with any bike that was 'too tall' for me. Even the DR-Z I took out for the little...

One crime at a time. If I'm on a bike with a loud exhaust, non-stock lighting, or something else that draws attention, I keep the speed down. That's why I like stock-looking bikes (especially stock plate location and turn signals), and why I kept the stock pipes on my FZ6. I could act up a...

Worrying about the rain damaging your bike is for panzies. :cheer: :D

I had speed bleeders on my Miata, which saved me having to bribe a friend to help out, but on my motos - even with my short stubby arms, I never had trouble reaching the wrench on the bleeder and the brake lever at the same time. The one tool that I do have for bleeding is a plastic syringe...

I used to live in Seattle. If you don't ride in the rain, you don't ride that much. ;) Just be smooth, and it's all fun...
