:+1: above The device that warns you of the position of speed cameras/intersection cameras is only a safety device in that it warns you of where other drivers are driving like idiots. I think that the red light cameras do cause more accidents than they save and the speed cameras cause drivers...

Tough call man, but your the only one who can decide what you want. I've only ridden one gen II and it was definitely not as smooth as my gen I, but it was not corrected with the FCE or PCIII or whatever it is that FI bikes use. If your set on a Gixx you'll never be happy with an FZ....do what...

Just went from a Diablo Strada rear to a Pilot Power rear, both with a Corsa III on the front. Going from the sport touring strada to the power has been night and day. I was at the point where if I really pushed it I could get the strada to break loose (only a few times b/c im a sissy). So far...

Illinois corrupt? Well thats just absurd :D

I'm Tom, 28, and I work in the city during the week and on fridays I make my way out of the city and spend the weekends in michigan with my girlfriend. The FZ1 is my first street bike. I've heard more than 100 times that the FZ is not a first bike for anyone. Thankfully I fully disagreed with...

Just got around to getting some pictures of the mods i've done over the last month or two. First mod was to the mirrors, affectionately known as the Fuzzy mirror mod on FZ1OA. It pushes the mirrors down to the sides instead of being upright. Next, put on a Puig racing screen. Makes highway...

i have a gen I which the seating is different, but i enjoy 2up riding. No difference in the power, just slightly in low speed handling. GF loves it, and even with her super long legs its not uncomfortable for her.

That is a clean XJR, love the looks on both bikes

+1 on the tom tom. Not the best, but for the price they are great

Always wanted to try one of those little suckers out. I hear they're a blast...but i'm sure they're no FZ

'02 Ford 4x4 truck for our nasty winters, '77 vette for summer fun...although with gas prices the vette sat in the garage a lot and the bike got over 6k on it this summer!

Ya I dont even know how they raced this weekend...I live a couple hours north of Indy and we got 11 inches of rain this weekend :mad:

I use the 'ol WD-40 for cleaning the chain off and then Dupont Teflon Chain lube, which can be bought at most hardware stores....cheap and works well IMO.

IS That the Graves bike?

Sweet, im glad you finally got to experience the whole motor Mean 1 ! The damn things really come alive from 8-11.5 rpm's! It is a totally different monster in the upper rpm's. My riding buddies always know when I'm winding her up b/c they say it gets really loud and mean soundin as I blow by em!
