Re: VTR1000 Superhawk 996

High side - do you remember how many miles you had on your firestorm before you got rid of it? I have 21k on mine and it's running great but the stock honda cam chain tensioners will go out eventually. I don't hear any rattling at low/mid rpm but there is a clicking/quiet rattle at idle after gettin...

Re: VTR1000 Superhawk 996

looks clean Fargo, hope you enjoy it. don't forget to exchange the oem cam chain tensioners with manuals if the bike has high mileage. r/r will burn out eventually as well.

Re: Making yourself seen- Helmets

Wearing a bright yellow/orange jacket with reflective stuff would probably be the safest, but sometimes a little too much color for some- including me. But the other day I saw a guy riding a dark red bike, he had a black jacket on and black helmet, BUT he had a bright orange backpack on easily visi...

Re: im looking into these bikes here , and suggestions.

That's a decent argument hyper and frankly i'm shocked to see someone come out and say it like this on tmw. Reasoning because, honestly when I first began reading throughout this forum, at one point I had developed a small fear about all of the inline 4 race replicas due to so many countless threads...

Re: Really want to get my hands on a new vfr

ya the new cbrs are real nice, very innovative with plenty of positive quirks. but i agree they're ugly too. Did honda forget that we americans just want a bike to solely pick up chicks on? sure we tell ourselves it's more than that, but the chick thing really is the deciding factor, right fellas?? ...

Re: Been gone for a while, picked up an RC51 since :)

Nice, got mine for $4700 with 23K on it and after $3500 worth of upgrades (so far) and some TLC it seems it'll last me a while. These bikes seem to last a while (60K-80K) if properly taken care of, we'll see. Damn, I could have afforded that bike, but not the extras! is that why you sold the B king...
