Ahh yes, the 100mph in 3rd gear story and it seems you have confirmed it for us. It must be tough with a family that rides, is you're brother itching to get his hands on your beemer? From the picture you broke tradition and got a sport bike instead of a cruiser. It actually does 105mph in 2nd gear,...

Ahh, you just waited till you got your new toy so you can show it off in the forum :laughing: Nice bike, any plans on saddle bags? I noticed your neighbor has a Porsche 944 in the background. Time to race him with your beemer. I've been lurking the forum for a little while again, but I haven't been...

Back after a long time lurking! (new bike)
I haven't been very active in the past year or so. I lurk every now and then, but for the most part have been ignoring forums. My Z1000 is a great bike, but just not as great for 2-up as I'd like. So I'm selling it. I just bought a new 2008 BMW K1200S. I must say, this bike is awesome! I remember sa...

Excellent bike, old and trusted engine design. That specific model might have only been made for one year, but that is because they upgraded the motor to an 800 the next year. They had the 750 supersport for a looong time before 2002, but the 02 was the only half-fairing fuel injected one from what ...

Re: 10 things I dislike about motorcycle manufacturers
Here we go - a noobs feeling about motorcycle manufacturers - in no particular order: 1) I always buy cheap-"O Ring" stuff, except for vehicles and houses. So, why is it that my cheap "O Ring" $250 lawn mower has an automatic choke and my $3,000 motorcycle doesn't? When was the ...

Re: Crash statistics
I've read statistics on the liklihood of a crash, and have come with a lot of information e.g., no licence and no MSF course makes it more likely, alcohol, new riders, weekend night riding, etc., all statistically more likely. But I can't find anything on bike TYPE. For instance, are cruisers stati...

I personally like the Dyna... I wouldn't buy one, but if I was going to go for a Harley, that would probably be the model. I think with 5000 miles you should be fine. They are pretty easy to handle, and very comfortable. I wouldn't mind a sportster, but like you, I feel as though I would be too big ...

Your instructor told you not to practice figure 8s and U-turns on the bike, but thinks it's OK for you to ride on the highway Ever riden a sportbike? The only one ive riden is a 2000 Ducati 748. I'm no expert..but I can tell you that the turning arc on the steering is NOWHERE close to that of the 2...
