+1 for Ebay 2 months ago I bought an Anthracite RF-1100 for $83 on Ebay. It was a display model that no one bid on cuz it had a little chip in the paint in the back... just cosmetic. My spectra visor for it almost cost as much ($63, but with Mil discount). I still wear my RF-1000 for commuting...

Nice That is a sweet looking bike. I like the colors. It reminds me of that shaft driven bike by BMW. Another sweet ride that costs a pretty penny.

Cool Super Tenere looks awesome. I have an old XT600 so I already have a soft spot for the bike. Do you know if they're bringing the 660 to the states or just the 1200? That 660 with the white/red abarth looking graphics is swwweeeet! Tommy

One More NKDFZ 1 I forgot to add that one

Not Yet Taken Open there's: CRZFZ 1 FZCRZY FZLOCO/LOCOFZ NKDFZ INLIN 4 FIZZR 1 RDRSH YAMAFZ YAMA 1 OK, I got distracted already. Hope these help. Tommy Hey, just so happens this one was free, too. Sorry, short attention span here. KYJELY

Ugly is right Thanks, I'm glad someone else sees what I see... fugliness. All the plastic bits make it look cheap and somehow out of wack. Considering promo pictures are always much better looking than the real thing I don't see any reason to bother going to the dealer to look at it. If I buy a...

BT021's currently on mine I hope these work out for your needs. My BT021s are at about 8500 miles and I'm looking at swapping out both this weekend. They were great for the first few thousand miles and pretty good up until about 7k. I'm trying to squeeze every last mile out of them since I'm a...

gtbigup01, no need to lie about tang. I'm happily divorced with no gf which is why I can do the bikes and guns and girls and all the fun stuff I enjoy. Any of you guys ride in Southern California?

1 million miles per hour Reminds me of a a sign a warrant officer in TX had on his desk. Hunters, fishermen and other liars gather here. Ha. Hadn't tried to top mine out yet. I hit a buck 20 a few times without trying very hard. I took my last girlfriend ~105 on her first ride and when we...

Yeah, I didn't buy my bike for the mpg either. I actually went to the dealer to spot an FZ6R, but I saw the FZ1 and music started playing in the background, you know. I love the bike and I'll tell you what, the 2 hours I spend on it everyday going to and from work is the best part of my day...

Thanks FZ1inNH, I just adjusted it. Yeah, this morning I looked at the rpm's and I'm running 90 mph in 5th @ 6500 on an avg day. When I run it in 6th gear I don't do much better at all. I guess I should drive slower, but I haven't done any mods other than the turn signals in the headlight...

This is funny, because I brought this up to my childhood friend after that wave protocol thread. He rides a Harley and so over a few beers I asked him what's with the not waiving to sport bike riders. He said usually by the time he notices we are already passed. Now... From him I can see it...

BT21's I read a lot of bad stuff on the avon's also since they changed compounds. Last changeout I did was with the BT21's for both front and rear. I'm a commuter so not the most aggresive rider, but I ride whether its pouring or sunny, 90mph most of the way and like to dig into turns. I...

Gen II I'm glad to see the 42 mpg rating is in question. I ride ~52 mi to work every day at about 90 mph in so cal... usu in 5th gear ~7k. I am getting 30 mpg flat. Some days I even kick it into 6th gear as much as possible and go easy on the throttle and I gain one or two mpg. My bike is an...

Looks Great Gorgeous bike, man. That's a great exhaust, too. I've been going back and forth over getting one of these, but I don't think I can give up the convenience of my centerstand. Might get the longer version, eventually.
