I am torn between The CBR500 and The FZ6R. I really like my 250, and really like Hondas, but there really is nothing like an I4... If I do get the Yamaha the first thing I will replace is the hideous...

I average in the low 70s(MPG). An all day highway trip gets me around 60 (80mph+). Last weekend I hit some back roads with a group of slow Harleys and got 92mpg.

Stopped by a local powerhouse and was surprised to see the 500 there. Started talking numbers, they quoted me $6,700 OTD. They also had a 2012 FZ6R for $7,200 OTD. If I wasn't leaving in 4 days for...

I will admit that on twisty roads with a normal speed limit of 30-40mph I can hold my own against friends on a ZX6R or R6, but I am certainly not going to pull away from them for any significant time...

I get on my bike and start it with the disk lock on a lot, luckily I have the alarmed kind so as soon as the bike starts it goes off, great little warning. Also I put it as close to the caliper as...

I'll cruise as low as about 45mph on fairly straight and boring roads for the fuel economy. Anything much lower than that and I'll downshift. I don't ride around at speeds below 40-45 enough to know...

It was dropped once but that was on the other side and about 11,000 miles ago. I'll look into greasing the pivot point. I have shifted up without the clutch but only ever when I'm racing someone or...

That tricolor rim tape is pretty cool if you have that bike. I tried the red tape on my red/silver bike and it lasted about 30 seconds before I tore it off. Didn't care for the look on silver rims. I...
