BAHHHH!

I was out riding tonight having a wonderful time just cruising and when I was on my way home my bike just started jacking up.

When I accelerate the bike starts sputtering, missing, and acting like it wants to die if I give it more then 1/4 throttle. This just started like 15 minutes ago on ...

I would look @ a Bandit 600/650 used or new or a SV650. The Kawi 650R might be a good choice. The reason I picked those is how the power is delivered. The FZ6's power come on really high in the rev range so it takes more of the throttle to keep it going. Now that can be really fun but for everyday ...

Well here's my conclusion on this tire.

If I were more of a knee dragger I doubt I would take a chance on this tire. Since I'm more of a mellow sport touring rider this sound like a really good tire for me. It should give me good milage and it will cut it good enough in the corners to have some ...

Hate to beat on a dead dog but I was looking at a Shinko rear to replace my Conti Road attack. Like I've said before I'm not out to set any new lean angle records. Any opinions whether this tire is worth it?

Yesterday I upgraded my windscreen from the SR series to the Sport Touring for my 1200 Bandit. Wow! What a difference!! @ 50mph my helmet was getting buffeted pretty badly, now I can keep my visor open comfortable @ 60 mph. For anyone with a sport touring machine and was thinking about upgrading to ...

Another way to consider yourself an experienced rider is how your peers see you. Do they look to you as an experienced rider or do they give the impression that you are still learning? I don't mean that in a bad way but be honest with yourself and that will help you know the answer. Don't ask them ...

Nice info guys. I appreciate all of your input. I will look into all of these.

It's funny I posted this last night because when I was out riding earlier in the evening I felt like I was fighting the bike in the corners, I just thought I was tired and didn't think anything else about it. Got it out ...

What's the best way to add pics on this forum? Never done it before.

Diadora Express. Ordered some today. Will give an update on everyday wearability (that a word?).

Thought I would try this post under this forum.

I have a 2001 Bandit 1200 and by next spring I'll need to get a new rear tire. I am looking for a tire that will give me the max mileage since I'm NOT a corner junky. Since I won't be pushing the lean angle of anything I get, value is the word of the ...
