they made the bking for - one year here in the states ? i don't recall, but that's something to consider for parts. another thing to consider is to just get a hayabusa and strip it, put dirt bike bars on it, 8" headlight, and enjoy the ergos. busas are everywhere, parts plentiful, and...

you rode the bike away = win you posted for us to use your perspective and live = win you're alive, hurting, and thinking about it = win the bike is just another 'thing'.

over here, that's 60mph vs 127mph, give or take a little. with some fancy online calculators.... 60mph = 117feet to stop completely (these are car numbers) 127mph = 539 feet to stop completely (again, car numbers) a good friend and co-worker left his first skid mark 537 feet (gps...

i use the sealed back all the time, cause ya just don't know... under the side plastics behind your butt, there's a flat perfect for rear view shots of teh tire/chain/swingarm...sorry no examples uploaded yet my favorite is helmet.. cause anything you look at you can shoot, not so much...

watch em in HD YO :-) First 2UP of 2012 - YouTube first ride with the wife for 2012 ^^^ Aimless and Lost Ride 1-7-2012 - YouTube first extended dirty ride on the fz 2012

i might recommend the contour camera instead. some of their models have LASERs for alignment, remote controls, and accept AA batteries. the HERO2 has faults: still no wifi-viewing still no 90/127/170 field of view settings still no AA battery option it's like buying an iphone (gopro)...

suspend the entire bike from the handlebars and sub-frame.... then loose the triples so the fork tubes can slide up/down easily. spin each tube by hand, and watch where the fork seals are, there should be no 'wobble' percieved, or you have a bent tube= do not ride slowly lower the...

the music (if it's considered that by anyone) just seemed to fit the portion coming out of the garage, then it kinda stuck. the crampbuster is grrrrrrrrreat for me on 3-4 hour rides. keeps my glove from bunching and (with engine revs) causing numb-thumb. glad you liked the following...

stock + a laminar lip, sorry i don't have the exact model number. i'm 6'4" and it gives me clean air from teh chin up. :-)

GoPro HERO2 thanks :-)

should work now, yt was having a fit the other day. :)

i haven't tried the fz8 yet, and would like to. the fz1 felt so relaxed, so much torque and less rev-happy. very very comfortable. easily 500 miles/day on the fz1. the fz6 makes me tired in 3-4 hours of riding, and uncomfortable in 7-8. as far as not wanting to ride the fz6, i dunno. i rode...

Just a quick ride on one of my favorite local roads. 720p @ 60fps, followed a ninja650r on sicard hollow for a little while, the split off. Embedded gps points for a couple of spots if anyone local wants to try it out. Ride on ! 2012 First Ride FZ6 - YouTube (hit the 720p version and...

tire pressure chain slack and lube wheel bearings change oil/filter bleed/purge brakes gas ride 12K is nothing. if you feel guilty while you're out there on the road, you could stop at a ducati dealer and see how much other bikes cost ;-) and continue your almost free ride on the yammi...

i'd make sure the wiring harness and TPS was perfect, then pull the fuel injectors and soak them in PB Blaster for three days, then check their spray pattern. 2 years' old fuel = gummy gunk give pb plaster a chance on anything that's stuck/carbon'd, it's a great penetrant.

hmmm.... your toes will suffer the wrath of a million pebbles from the front tires. your eyes will suffer the wrath of a million dirty rain drops from the front tires lack of a real fender. you get to replace tires 2 times as often. you -have- to replace both back tires at once...

why force the bike into a bad situation ? just run it within reason and enjoy 100,000 miles or so of fun ? i'd guess the fz gets maintenance along the same regularity as other bikes priced similarly, and there are very few problems reported here. we could test the oil every 400 miles, put...

the point of 98 hp, is it's 98 hp. ninety-eight horsepower. speed limits ... mmm... ya, about 95% of the time. scooters, oh man, scooters are a freaking BLAST to ride, but i've never ridden one on a racetrack, so no personal experience.

looks like a winner to me. anything that puts a cushion between me and a ouchie is a winner.

crutches suck. pain meds suck. not doing stuff SUUUUUCKS. but, you did it in november, meaning, you'll be healed and strong as an ox again come spring. look for the positive !
