I like the swingarm and the split seat. Looks interesting. More like the FZ1's little brother.

Wot it says. I have my forks raised about 5mm on my off-road bike, but I'm not sure what it will do form me on the road. Has anyone done it? What effect will it have? If yes, then how much - 5mm, 10mm? Discuss...

Wot he said. I've been on my Fazer S2 for a bit over a year and 15K miles and I'm just now considering stepping up to a larger bike. To each his own though. Don't take it the wrong way - we just do want to see another 'rider down' thread posted by your wife/girlfriend. Keep the shiny side up!

Mine are due at my next major service (24K miles) I'll have a bigger bike (FZ1) by then so I'm afraid I probably won't be able to help much. :(

Looks great. Now you need the dual headlight mod!

Is it just me or do they look almost identical? If you rotate them back slightly, I don't see the real difference between them.

Yep, it's pretty easy to do. Maybe a 10 minute job. Be warned - it's virtually impossible to get the spring back on once you've taken it off..

I took mine off ages ago. I think it looks a lot better without it and I couldn't stand it hitting my heel. I only miss it sometimes. Here's a close-up. Here's from the side. And here she is 'in the wild' in front of Windsor Castle.

No worries - I'm just trying to 'wind you up' as the English would say.

I'll be happy to pick it up from someone at the airport and give it a grand tour around England before taking it to someone else on the continent.

Yeah, the sales guy was trying to get me to try it too but it just doesn't 'do it' for me. I fully appreciate that other people love them and that they may ride great, but personally I can't get past the looks. Sorry! (I'm sure yours is beautiful though ;))

Dood - let it go. ;) He's really got you worked up over this doesn't he? See, he should have just said, "They look the nuts and I want them to show off at the weekly meet down at the McDonald's" and you would have been fine with it, yes? Unfortunately he had to tell the truth... I may get a...

I'll give you £50 for your old wheels once you get the new ones.

Yeah, the Super Duke is supposed to be good but I have a personal fatwah on KTM so I could never buy one. The older Dukes look better IMO anyway. I'm not too old a dude (40) but I feel like one due to various sports injuries that kick my ass sometimes. Both wrists are buggered from playing...

I probably shouldn't even mention this on here, but as we were looking at the bikes a guy rode up on a fairly new Suzuki GSXR1000 with aftermarket cans on it and my wife turned to me and said, "Why don't you get one of those instead?"

As I have mentioned before, I'm considering moving up to a bigger bike so I took the day off and went on two test rides today - a 2007 Triumph Daytona 955i and a 2007 Triumph Sprint ST. Here's what the Daytona looks like. Here's what the Sprint ST looks like. The Daytona has a 955cc triple...

I ride the Conti Road Attacks and love them. So do about 1,000,000 couriers in London. That should tell you something.

There's a thread on this already. I'll find the URL and post it.

I read an article where they reckon it's Rossi just messing with everyone else. As soon as they all do it (just a few more to go) then he will stop. It did come in handy at keeping a potential pass at bay from another rider so there may be logic to it yet. That or he rides too much off-road in...
