    Moved to Boston

    Count me in for a ride/drinks. Beer lover right here....The ride this morning was a little wet, but still better than sitting at home!

    SOLD: '06 FZ6 for sale in Boston: $3575

    Re: '06 FZ6 for sale in Boston: $3575 Great! It really doesn't matter what you ride as long as you ride. After you ride for a while you'll notice that every time you step up to a larger bike it is daunting. Note my lowered seat for the FZ6. I came from a smaller Ninja 500 and was initially not...

    SOLD: '06 FZ6 for sale in Boston: $3575

    Re: '06 FZ6 for sale in Boston: $3575 Bump from a fellow Bostonian! That's a very good price I must say. BTW, how do you like the TU250X? I love its looks and saw it got decent reviews.

    Scorpion Savannah Women's Motorcycle Pants Review

    I got my wife these: Scorpion Women's Haley Pants - Street Bike - Motorcycle Superstore They look awesome, offer a lot of protection, the price was reasonable, and most importantly....she likes their style. Caution on sizing...if the savannah are the same, my wife needed a size bigger.

    Oiling Chain without a Centerstand

    Nice video. I wish I saw that before buying the rear stand for my Ducati!

    Seeking advice - First Street Bike for an experienced rider in Vancouver

    I commute daily in Boston on the FZ6. It is nimble enough and was the main reason I chose it over a gSX650F I was considering. Versys was too tall for me coming from a Ninja 500. That being said, besides engine they are similar in that both have a 5 gallon gas tank, fuel gauge no exhaust...

    Bridgestone BT-023

    I like the OEM Bridgestone BT-020 so much that I will most likely either get the 21 or 23 next. I read a lot of excellent reviews of the Dunlops as well, but don't feel like messing with something good. Like you, I commute daily probably in more inclement weather than you get in SD and they have...

    Spidi leather pants size Euro 48 (US 32/33)

    Still have the pants - if anyone interested - price lowered to $150. I put on almost 5 lbs since last year. 8-) STill too big...probably size 32 US

    World first ride - Yamaha FZ8

    Ouch! look at the price! I think the Fazer is a very good bike, but for 30% more than the new Shiver or Street Triple! Even a Ducati 796 is cheaper in England by quite a bit. The GSX1250F undercuts it by almost 1000 pounds. Way over priced....not going to sell as well no matter how good the...

    Rode a CBR 600 RR

    Beautiful bike! The 07+ CBR600 have a ton of midrange torque compared to all the other 600 anc definitely compared to our FZ. It is a smaller bike that hopefully she'll get used to. I am concerned that she will drop this beautiful bike and hurt herself. I bought my wife a 2007 Ninja 250 which...

    Riding Double / Two Up

    My wife refuses to ride with me if I don't have the Givi trunk on. It helps with their confidence. And of course, ATGATT!

    First Annual New England Restaurant Run, May 23

    Too many things planned that day...otherwise I would come

    FZ6 or FZ1

    As for the higher revs, I cruise at 500 RPM higher, that's all. Nothing major, just 4k rpm and above. Don't want to scare the wife off. 8-)

    2010 Kawasaki Ninja 650 vs. 2009 Suzuki GSX650F vs. 2010 Yamaha FZ6R

    I read the article. Would be curious how the FZ6 compares. I guess it's no longer made, so doens't matter...

    FZ6 or FZ1

    I had a Ninja 500 as well and upgraded two years ago to an FZ6. My wife and I ride a bunch two up and it easily handles us. I have a Givi trunk and she uses the grab handles, so I barely know she is behind. It helps that she only weighs 120lbs... Remember to increase your preload. I ride mostly...

    MCN FZ8 Road test-The Verdict

    So, it'll probably compete with the Ducati Monster 796, Kawasaki Z750, BMW F800R and Street Triple. I think the triple being one of the least expensive in Europe is probably the best deal. The price will be a killer as Yamaha is not considered a high end brand like Ducati and BMW so will have a...

    Shoei RF-1100 vs Arai Vector

    I am surprised that they both fit you well. From what I read, the Vector has a more oval shape compared to the RF1100 which is more neutral round. I think either is very good and you can't go wrong. If you change visors routinely the Shoei would most likely be easier to deal with. Both are...
