    Yamaha FZ-6 handling... Is CBR600 better?

    Life is full of compromises. I think you just found one. True super sport tires would help your FZ6, but it isn't going to handle like a mass-centralized 600cc super sport, because it isn't one. Be glad you didn't ride a 250cc two-stroke road racing bike. Your FZ6 would feel like a Road Glide.

    I'd love to ride this road

    I bicycled the Grossglockner Hochalpstrasse in 2007 from Heiligenblut to Bruck (as part of a longer ride from Bolsano/Bozen to Innsbruck via the Sella Ring, Cortina, Zell-am-See). On the downhill into Fusch, from the Edelweisspitze to the Zoo, I kept up with a pair of BMW K bikes. That'll...

    WTB: NYC area

    Congrats. What color did you get? If you're ever up Rt22, let me know. I'm always looking to go for a ride in Westchester/Putnam.

    Awesome bike. But be aware, it looks like someone is trying to steal it in the second photo!

    clutch won't engage!!!i'm desperate

    Can you isolate whether it is the cable or the basket? Disconnect the cable at the clutch (not handle) end. Put a vise-grip on the rod going into the clutch and turn it. Does that disengage the clutch?

    Yamaha FZ6 vs. HD Iron 883 vs. F800ST?

    Oh yeah, and if you buy a used HD and treat it right, the depreciation is about 0%.

    Yamaha FZ6 vs. HD Iron 883 vs. F800ST?

    If you commute, an 883 Sportster is a great bike! No valve adjustments, regular gas, no chain to oil, bulletproof. But put some proper rear shocks on it. People sell the Sportsters short -- they're not a sport bike, but for practical real world transportation, they're pretty damn good. I...

    Investigating my total mileage

    I recently purchased a 1982 motorcycle with 1700 miles on it. I'm never surprised how few miles are on a bike. And if someone were going to doctor a speedo, certainly they'd put fewer on there than 21,000 km! :)

    Scandinavia

    That's a pretty ambitious schedule (though with some luck it'll work). I would however, have a backup plan, should you suffer a day-long delay somewhere.

    Getting my 17 year old son a bike

    A pre-2008 Ninja 250 is a great bike. Big enough for a large man, and still a fun bike for someone who has 100k miles on bikes under their belt. Don't underestimate the Ninjette. I wouldn't recommend an inline 4 600 for any beginning rider. Hell, I'd make him ride a Passport for six months!
