    Scored - 1973 Honda XL250 with 186 original miles

    Amazing find! And tough call on riding or not. Also just curious did the original owner say why he put it up so soon and never rode it?

    Yamaha FZ6 Fazer - 2006 - 61000miles - for Sale

    It's on a Honda but have a buddy that rolled over 250,000 on a Honda F4i. And quite a few track days in there also. And everyone know Honda doesn't hold a candle to Yamaha

    Squid of the year 2012

    You can wax and shine a turd but its still a turd also. :D I like the comment of "I only laid there for a second then went up the hill G.I.Joe style yet someone clearly is laying there moaning for quite some time.

    Bent Bars

    Just a simple word of advice from someone who wrecks alot. You may loosen and tighten/torque one bolt at a time on you triple trees. Sometimes even a small drop and slightly twist or bind your forks. Doesn't mean there is anything wrong with them just may make a difference over time or in the...

    Apprx. Cost of naked conversion and R6 front forks?

    I just bought the needed bearings from All Balls last night and they were $60 shipped. Just going off Ebay a lower R6 Triple is about $120 to $150. I just bought one for $40 that has a tab broken. Top clamps will be about $50. Gold forks are going to run you about $250 to $500 depending...

    St Louis area FZ6 owners

    I have to agree. And I used to stunt alot. Thing to me is there will be well over 3000 bikes there and unless you are in the first 100, which you also better be a well know badass stunted to be up that far you are playing a dangerous game. Past that you aren't prob going to see much and your...

    OK what happened to SPEED Channel

    Speed and Fuel are not Fox 1&2. Supposedly they are going to run more Moto live and actually run all races and also more MotoGP which really excites me. Although their announcers are horrible!!!When they obviously dont even know Rossi and other major riders what are they doing calling a race...

    Keeping your line; do you?

    I associate having a line more with track riding but since this is not about track I put 95%. I think having a line on the street is about being able to put the bike where you want it. While the line is ever changing on the street if you cant put the bike where you want it you are not in...

    What is the primary use of your FZ6?

    Wow those are some really broad generalization lol but funny. Even more funny is I bought my last R6 Track/Race bike from a Oil CEO and the FZ I just bought was from a squid that wrecked it wearing no gear lol I bought it for a long distance bike though. Have a R6 for track go fast bike and...

    Do you wear a spine protector?

    I wear one every time I ride on the track, street, and dirt. Know it has saved me many times from at least bad bruises on the dirt and a few street and track wrecks. Sadly on the motard I wreck alot being a hooligan lol But also have a buddy in a wheel chair that who knows had he worn his may...

    05 R6 motor swap into my 06 fz6 in progress

    Another Texas Boy

    Thanks and I can promise I always wear full gear as in Helmet, jacket, back protector, gloves, knee/shin gaurds, boots, and reinforced jeans if not full leathers on back roads. I unfortunately learned the hard way a few times how bad it hurts not to wear gear, and also just how amazing gear...
