Most motorcycle reviews reference the fueling of the motorcycle, especially if it's choppy at low speeds. Two bikes that have been reviewed recently that seem to have bad low-speed fuel delivery are the Yamaha FZ-09 and the MV Agusta Brutale. Do you consider this something to live with, or...

What are your thoughts on newer bikes with twin shocks (Bonneville, CB1000, etc)? How much of a performance difference do you think exists between bikes under 10K with the differing shocks?

I've always thought this was good looking road bike with retroish good looks and modern technology. I was surprised that no one ever talks about it. The bike looks more and more refreshing as more and more bikes resemble some insect creature like a Praying Mantis or ... actually everything...

So there are some differing opinions on "Adventure" bikes out there. I wanted to get Barf's take on this. I'll go ahead and outline my definition of this branch of motorcycles for everyone. 1) Big ADV's (GS1200,Tiger 1200, Multistrada, Super Tenere, etc) 2) Midweight ADV's(Tiger 800's, FS800...

If I was in the market for a motorcycle right now, I would want something like an SV650 naked. Cheap, reliable, easy to ride, fun to ride, easy to mod, comfortable, attractive. Basically a fun cheap bike that doesn't scream nerd-mobile and you could start on and not have to upgrade from. The...

I bought a pair of Rev'it Airvolutions and they fit very well proportionally, with the exception that the gloves are really tight. Airvolutions ----------- I know from experience that they will loosen up, but I'm having a problem opening my hand completely due to the palm of the glove...

Sorry if there is already out there.

Is this not an obvious clash? The bikes are roughly the same price, same class, same target audience. I've seen: 696 vs the Shiver the street triple vs the shiver the 696 vs ER6n, xj6, and the Gladius WTF are the 696 vs street triple tests!!! Is it because the street triple will blow the duc...

Spent a week in Oregon recently and really got the bug for a touring bike after driving down 101 along the coast watching these guys on their touring bikes. I would love to spend a few days traveling on a sport tourer loaded with hard sidebags, tank bags, etc. Only problem is I don't have the...

There are plenty of cruisers our bloke friends across the sea will never see. We, on the other hand, will never see these Japanese bikes unless we pay a trip to the UK. YAMAHA YZF-R125 YBR Custom MT-01 MT-03 fz6-s2 XJR1300 (Monster of a bike) Tenere (Looks like they shot this on...

I was reading a recent thread about a first track day on a sv650s(with some suspension mods and tires) and I wanted to know what barfers took to their first day on the track. Did you have your suspension dialed in, and did you go to your first track day with most mods in place, or use the...

What is the optimal suspension setup on your bike to you? I have a moto where the fork and shocks are preload adjustable and wanted to know what you guys look for when making adjustments and finding the optimal setup for your weight and riding style. If you are more of a joy rider then someone...

I never liked the use of after-market parts on bikes for the purpose of a review by magizines and websites like cycleworld and motorcycle-usa.- would to read more reviews of motos as-sold, not with $$$ ohlins forks and $$$ soft tires added. If the stock fork sucks, then shouldn't we know about...

How do you guys think the F800R will stack up against the Street Triple and Ducati 696? Check it out: http://www.fasterandfaster.net/2009/02/bmw-f800r-to-hit-showrooms-by-may-this.html

What has more sex appeal: Thruxton: Or 696: ?

Hey all, Does anyone here have progressive insurance and dealt with them after an accident? I'm just praying to god the girl who pulled in front of me doesn't have them too, because she probably called them first.

Normally I'm not a fan of Harley's, and sometimes not a fan of those that ride Harley's, but I suprisingly find myself drawn to the Iron 883. For $7,899, it seems like a pretty good deal and for my second bike, I'm suprised this is in the running against a Bonneville, Thruxton, or something...

Hey Everyone, Assuming the road is dry, how comfortable do you feel riding on a curvy road when the weather temp is 20-40f?:ride

Did the CB600 ever come in green? Do you know what year, or if I'm wrong, what I might be thinking of?
