I dont know where your at or what your budget is... I have a 03' Kawi. ZR-7S I'll sell you. 1,300 miles on it. Just got it in Feb. paid $5800.00 for it... yours for the low, low price of just $4,800.00. Great for highway riding.. comfortable is its game.. cruising speed is its middle name... great all around sport/tourer! Comes with factory warranty until next Feb.

Just curious...why are you selling your ride already?

Hey all, I'm looking at a 1982 Yamaha XJ550 Maxim for my first bike and I want to use it mainly for getting to work and back, which is a 30minute drive one-way all highway. He said it was at 5500rpm at 60mph, I would like to cruise at 70 for going to work. Is this ok to run the bike at this high of sustained rpms or should older bikes really stick around 55mph?

No problems. I toured North America on a 360 twin.....60-70mph for 12,000miles....and I'm here in one piece!

There was a lit..t..l.e.....vibr....a...tion though!

I'm inheriting my girlfriends 05' R6... I haven’t touched my bike in like 3 weeks.... Its a great bike but doesn’t hold a candle stick to the R6.
