Jeez even Akro are climbing on the bandwagon now :spank:

What is it with the trend for enormous exhausts?

Sounds like chain or something in your rear tyre.

Respect to all the guys with the great tech advice :bow: Makes me realise what a dunce I am, and what a PITA automotive electrics can be!

I liked the "Fight Club" comment, very good! Many years ago when I subscribed to Cycle World there was a line in an article I have never forgotten... "you go into a hardware store to buy a length of chain to lock up your bike. The guy in the store cuts it with a pair of bolt cutters. Right...

The latest Cycle News features a shootout between the R3 and the KTM RC390. Cycle News - Cycle News 2015 Issue 22 June 2 From page 54.

The FJ-09 is the Tracer in our market and I have had a good look at it, I'd buy it just because it's a Yamaha 3 cylinder but I'm not very scientific, I bought my 2004 FZ6 because my wife liked the look of it and I still have it, no regrets.

I have had a few drinks AND an FZ6 for 11 years so let me pick at this... 1000 miles in 2 months??? I would have thought that someone with a new bike would do that in a weekend. I have had Akrapovics on mine since it was about 6 months old and my girlfriend has never complained about the heat...

I have a HEL kit with the dual race lines (had it for months actually) I must just make time to fit it. I'll keep this thread in mind when I get round to it. Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

Got a pic of it on the bike?

Damn, I didn't think of that. Not sure if checking like I did yesterday would really help, the final mounting position will be a bit further back and a bit higher than in the pics, I was just looking at the proportions. Maybe I'll mount a rear view camera :D

This morning I went to another Yamaha dealer to look at top boxes and was almost home when I remembered I wanted to ask them for a test ride :spank:

I agree, side by side the E52 looks the same as the V46 but the extra few mm dimensions make the difference for me. All my biker buddies in the pub say it looks weird but like beatle said, you don't see it when you ride and just put it on when you need it. Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

I looked at the V46 but my X-Lite helmet won't fit in it next to my wife's Shoei because of the vent fin on the back, so I looked at something bigger. Opinions? Be honest please :spank:

Like my city.

Check how cool the Akro looks but I think a tail tidy is a higher priority!

This morning I went to my local Yamaha dealer to collect a new clutch cable for my FZ, I figured after 11 years it was probably due a new one. Anyway, on their floor they had 4 blue R3s. What a stunning little bike! I immediately thought that this would be a great re-starter for my wife, and...

I have been toying with the idea of buying a camera for a while now but despite having some gift vouchers on Amazon.co.uk I can't find anyone who will ship to South Africa. I'm watching the SBK races at Donington and I saw the Nilox billboards alongside the track, I have found a couple of...

Oregon or Bust ride? I know what I'd choose....:spank:

Just to give you an idea of the extent of parts, the fairing on my 2004 is 34 part numbers (up to 5 of some part numbers required) excluding the headlights and instruments.
