you only have $500 in it, and it's not worth putting a fairing on ? why not ? folks spend $7000 and then continually toss more cash at it for no apparent reason... yours is a real find... i'd slap a round 8" globe on it, LED brake / signals, whatever mechanicals, and ride the piss out of my...

this one is my favorite, mind if i print it (like i did it!) at walgreens and put it on the garage wall ? :BLAA:

there was a 07 locally with 3K miles on it, for $2700 obo... it was gone in 3 hours, very good deal even with scratched (low speed lowside) plastics. i paid the same for my fz as i did my drz... i can't complain they're both incredible machines. :)

+1 scooters rock now, about this beemer... love the concept, hate hate hate what i know will be rediculousely priced OEM-ONLY batteries, controls, switches, and such. there's absolutely no way i'm buying a first-generation from any maker. no way. buying 'new' is crazy, but a locked in...

I'm no expert, but it looks like the motorcyclist was doubling the traffics speed. I'm going to practice posted limits myself. so sad.

thankfully, no, there is no perfect bike. I've had cb, drz, gs and now fz, and they're all great. please cease production of perfect bikes immediately so I can ride more imperfect examples !!!

i didn't want to put gymkhana in the title, but it ended up that way... we had a loosely organized skills course, with everything from a drz to a ape-hanged harley attend. put a goldwing down on it's crash guards (without crashing) and everyone made it though fine. i rode: my fz6 fz1...

tire lube... on the signals, not hte wife, it will help

+1, this man speaks truth ! back packs SUCK for long trips. get the weight off the rider( s ) and as low as possible on the bike. i have a 23" Caterpillar waterproof bag I camp out of on the DRZ, and it's great for the purpose. Cheap on ebay for $24 shipped. the only bike modification...

neither is a good deal if you can't pay cash for it.... buy used and pay cash for toys. the fz is a very reliable machine, you cannot tell a difference between 1 mile and 45000. how about the same bike for 1/3. the price ? (used)

how much you want for the pegs ? shipping to 35215 ?

absolutely.... the post after yours explains why. i've seen people rubberneck and cause very dangerous situations for other motorists (motorcyclists) because of speed traps and radar work. radar is a tax, when it's a camera. radar is a safety TOOL when it slows down people doing 82 in a...

the tdate was 4607, so they were very old. I. usually preride check, and didn't notice the line then. during the ride we stopped for the smokers, and I noticed it. changed it yesterday to the new diablo that was waiting. handles smoother, with a faster turn in. after googling it appears to...

interesting. i'll forward some pictures to the factory if it's possible. thing is, i ddn't notice the line before the ride, then 100 or so miles later it was easily seen. the tires are better than 1/2 way worn, most by a previous owner. 30K on the bike. also... the %&*@(#$% axle was...

folks that know may only need the pictures - is this a tire about the fly apart while at speed ?

humbled, and aware of things that matter. thanks for that.

i have the scorpions also, love the sound. there are times (summer) when i'd like to be a little more sneaky though, waht are you going to do with your stock exhaust ? :BLAA:

call a dealer ? i looked on bikebandit and didn't see it shown at all, maybe it's dealer only ?

+1 for whne they're on the phone, doing their nails, or otherwise just being an annoyance. the horn (on my) fz6 is fairly loud, and i'm all over it like white on rice. all the time. intersections, crosswalks, driveways, i'm a freaking canadian goose. paranoid ? yes. :)

yep, everything else is great so far. new rubber is a really nice thing. :)
