    Best luggage for 08 FZ1?

    Maybe we should try to negotiate further. If they only offer 10% off then it really is not worth doing a group buy, because we would then have to pay shipping twice and you have the time and hassle of repackaging them and shipping them out. However if we got together 10 people willing to buy...

    Best luggage for 08 FZ1?

    If they will give us a discount for a group buy I am definitely in on those... they look awesome. As rarely as I will actually be "touring" I really like the idea of being able to put my bike back to "stock" for all my "around town" riding. :)

    2008 FZ1 with 25k Miles?

    I paid $6500 and he threw in a nice tank bag and gave me the receipts for the add-ons. I know I could have probably found one for around $6k, in fact I even found one about 3.5 hours away from me, but I'm going to the beach in a week and REALLY wanted to ride. Plus he had 4 pristine bikes in his...

    Best luggage for 08 FZ1?

    I want to add quick-release luggage to my "new" 08 FZ1 so I can go to the beach for a weekend ride etc. My main concern is my laptop, which I have to take on anything longer than a day trip. It's a really small 13" MacBook Air and I have this Timbuk2 laptop backpack which is pretty small, but...

    Eye glasses

    Try Silhouette frames. It's like not having glasses on. I've got two pair and you can't even tell they're on they're so small and light. They're a little difficult to slide over your ear if your helmet is really tight but once you get them on they're very comfortable. Silhouette Rimless...

    Advice on my FZ1

    Definitely take the safety course. I rode a long time ago just by buying a sport bike and teaching myself... then I laid my bike down and spent many weeks laid up in a bed with road rash and broken bones. When I decided to start riding again I took the MSF course at a nearby Harley dealership...

    2008 FZ1 with 25k Miles?

    LOL I've never had someone tell me they were jealous of my driveway before. Went for my first ride yesterday after work, really enjoyed it. Already have a ton of accessories like side cases and a Garmin Zumo on my wish list... :D

    2008 FZ1 with 25k Miles?

    I was concerned about the high-mileage bike because the owner claimed to have owned the Yamaha dealership and gave me a story about the previous owner of the bike, but it just didn't add up. If he owned the dealership he should have known how important it was to keep the maintenance records, and...

    2008 FZ1 with 25k Miles?

    He's the dealer, or he was anyway (used to own the Yamaha dealership) and this was a customer's bike. He claims the customer did all the major maintenance with the dealership but did oil changes himself. He said it was traded in and he kept it as his personal motorcycle. How can I tell if it's...

    Bluetooth helmet vs Ear buds

    I got a bluetooth helmet (I think it's a Vesa?) and it's awful. It may be because it's a low-end helmet (it was about $150) but you can't hear anything above 50 or 60 mph on a naked bike. I don't have a bike with a windshield (yet) so we'll see how it performs. I'm sure higher priced helmets...

    2008 FZ1 with 25k Miles?

    I've been looking for a used FZ1 for a couple of months now and finally found two for sale in my area. Both 2008's. One only has 3k miles and is black (my preference) but has no touring accessories yet. The second has 25,000 miles, is red, but has side and back luggage, touring windshield and...
