Re: Which bike is better for a beginner?
As the Suzuki is being sold at a bike shop by a mechanic, that would be the better choice, IMO. The Intruder 800 is a solid design and from what I know it had very few reliability issues, if any. Parts on any Japanese bike 10yrs or more old is going to be a bit of a concern, but not a dealbreaker. I...

Re: 2010 brake failure
There is a massive recall in effect for touring HD's from 2009-2012. Your local dealer will be able to tell you if yours is one of the bikes on the list.

Re: Seca 750 NOT GETTING FUEL
Sounds like I am off to the Yamaha dealership to spend $400 bucks on a tuneup Of a $200 dollar bike. Sometimes, unfortunately, that is the cost of buying an older bike. When I worked at a motorcycle dealer we had many people drop by with old bikes they had bought on the cheap but couldn't get to ru...

Re: This Week: 2017 Indian Roadmaster - VOTE NOW
Awesome. After several failed attempts at resurrecting the name over the last few decades, Polaris has finally managed to do what others could not; produce a true, non S&S Harley clone version of an old legend. I like the styling, but then I've always been a fan of traditional designs and not th...
