Thanks for the responses, guys. I just figured 600 crotch-rocket = the same.

I've been browsing various websites and I've noticed something

Honda CBR600 ~$11k msrp
Suzuki R600 ~$12k msrp
Kawasaki 650 Ninja ~$7500 msrp

Am I missing something? Why is it so much cheaper?

I'm operating under the assumption that the difference performance between these models is less than ...

Sorry about the delay, but the weather's finally permitted me to work on it.

So, it turns out I mixed the wires for plugs 3 and 4. Now it runs again. I also found out at some point I flipped the fuel filter around, so now it's facing the right direction.

I've been working on this bike for a while now and I can't seem to get it working.

It's an'79 1100 XS. It would run before, but fuel would pour out of the run-off hoses, I forgot the actual name for them. I freed 2 of the floats and I could get it to run, but only 2 (Or maybe 3) cylinders would ...

I sense a "winner" in this one.

I said Screw It and I'm giving it to my dad, I'll buy a new one later.

Since I wear glasses, and I have a real problem getting them on in those cramped full-face, would a motocross helmet suffice?

It's a Nolan and it's together and all, I just don't remember my chin feeling up the foam on it.
