    Traded the old girl in.

    Like Jon says is the 2011 Honda CBR600 F. I test rode one a month or so back. It has very similar torque to the 6R low down but has a lot more power from around 7000-8000 RPM upwards. It also revs to around 15k so you really feel the power at the top of the rev range. The other thing is it feels...

    Well I couldn't help it. Got a fantastic deal on one of these. It arrives in a few days and I can't wait. I will be modding the bike as soon as I can so it looks like the bike in the first picture but plus an Akrapovic exhuast system. :)

    Blinking gas light

    I put my bike on its center stand (makes sure you get an even spread of fuel), put the nozzle in, fill about 10 litres then pull the nozzle out about 1 inch and fill slowly until the fuel hits the very top of the hole.

    Would anyone consider this......

    I actually test rode one of these the other day and am very very tempted. I have only owned my XJ6 since December 2010 and love it so shouldn't really be changing my bike but I don't know if I can remain strong enough to not buy one :) There is less torque in the bike so you have to use the...

    Coolest motorcycle race footage ive ever seen

    The first of the two crashes was Connor Cummings in 2010 TT. Connor's injuries included a badly broken left arm, slight shoulder injuries, fractures to bones in his back, hairline fracture to his pelvis, a bruised lung, dislocated knee and ligament damage. He was back racing in this years...

    Extreme sports anyone?

    I ride this like an absolute lunatic over any, bumps, humps, jumps that I can find and always feel I am pretty close to smashing both myself and the bike to bits pretty much all the time I am riding it. On the road it is slow compared to the XJ6. Offroad, the speed is completely...

    whats YOUR lid look like?

    Mine is an AGV Ti-Tech. This is an excellent helmet, anti scratch and anti fog visor, very comfy and pretty good on wind noise. I would definately recommend.

    Epitome Of Squids....first hand

    Having read the posts here I think its crazy that you can get a bike license just from a written test. In the UK before you are allowed to even ride a bike you have to do a full day training course called "compulsary basic training". The days course teaches you road safety and awareness and...

    Difference Between 09 and 11 Model Any?

    I agree. I work in a Yamaha Dealership and the only diffrence between the bikes is the colour schemes. Your best picking up a low mileage 09 bike and save yourself a bucket load of cash.

    Gas prices in YOUR area

    OMG, you lot think you got it bad. Try living in England. £1.35 per litre = £6.14 per gallon or the US equivalent = $10.14 per gallon. Now quit moaning and just enjoy your practically free fuel :D

    Mod. Stock Exhaust

    Just as an FYI for others thinking of this, with the work you have done on the exhaust there is no real need to take the whole system off. My welder guy did this mod for me whith the exhaust still on the bike. He just put it on a bench lift and did it all from underneath. It took about 30...
