It's official now the Ducati is a keeper. I did about a thousand miles a year on my FZ6 average since I bought it. I've put a thousand miles on the Ducati in less than a month. They already sold my fazer too so the FZ6 licence plate in CA. may be available when the new owner renews it next...

Thanks, Yeah I'm loving it so far my insurance went up $23 bucks for the year. I traded in my Fazer after a 5 year ride on it and with all this talk about going naked got me off my computer and out there test riding all sorts of bikes. One thing I have noticed about the ride naked is my wind...

The streetfighter has only been out a few months here in the states so they will be hard pressed to get spares like that. On the other hand the Monster has been around a lot longer and the bike grave yards are a gold mine to find loose headlight assemblies from crashed bikes. I took the easy way...

Well it's about that time for me to go naked. While I fell in love with the streetfighter I get along better with her little sister the monster 696. They are taking the FZ6 in trade and I should have the bike in 2 days. Since it was a 2009 used bike traded in with 3450 miles for a...

Hi kpaul, welcome to the fazer way of life. Enjoy your new ride for a while before you do any changes to the sound. the apartments will get used to hearing you and know your OK as long as your not twisting the throttle or idling too long in the space you should be fine. The bike doesn't need...

Stock mufflers will not prevent anyone from getting a speeding ticket but I get away with speeding more with them since I slip past the cops ears & attention. Cops have pulled over guys on custom bikes and given them a ticket for loud pipes alone. I don't know about you guys but I hate being...

The issue came out and I got my copy today. The owners that did make the magazine are, Powell Browne Garrett Durand Ryan Kelbey Adrian Lugo Chris Duchock Matt Cheely Daryl Park Jamie Woolford Jay Berends Big lists of mods only one naked. Chris' bike even had a dented tank and...

doing one on a bicycle and a motorcycle are completely different on balance points and mucles used. They sell wheelie bars you can add to your swingarm to prevent backflips. Most guys will pop the clutch with the R's up to induce one faster. Lots of videos on youtube. "Dress for the crash...

Pics sent last month looking for it at the news stands. Great rag!

Local dealers have the triple selling for 3k less than the ducati. I supose it's as fast and as fun to ride but those bug eye headlamps really spoil it for me. Straight off a bike from the 80's looking. :rolleyes:

Good for you Beth.:cheer: It's nice to not have to look for cars and traffic just focusing on the road ahead of you. Keep up the learning curve.

Comparing liter bikes here this base model is less than 1k more than a new R1 with better ergos. Ducati Streetfighter || Official Website I closed my 401k account today, next sell some stocks and the sailboat that should be enough to include a new Arai and some red leathers and still keep...

Nice naked bike. I would have a new GF if mine was black. Too bad they vanish in the dark.

Still no Yamaha full naked bikes sold in the USA I've been looking at what else there is since I don't want to strip my bike just yet and the reviews on the FZ1 have been worse. Last week I tested the Ducati streetfighter the local dealer was too happy to let me take the "S" model for a...

"You weight a ton" really? Unfortunate poor choice of words.:spank:

Trying to keep up with a better rider is a common mistake, you'll learn from it. Let the guy ahead of you win and get the speeding ticket. Try pumping the rear brake between downshifts instead of just standing on it too while your grabing a steady handful of front brake. Practice stoping...

It is? I prefer painted and airbrushed graphics. Those are Kinda fugly.

Nothing is impossible, it just cost more!:thumbup:

When I got hitched I had a cruiser with rusting spokes, loud pipes and a back rest but could never get the mrs on the back. During the wet season I didn't take it out so she bothered me to sell it one day at our garage sale. She insisted I not get another bike but like a lot of things in our...

Was that epoxy or sounds like polyester resin with that ratio? Unfortunately adding hardner alone won't work, better to brush a fresh batch over it with the right ratio. Is it still coming off on your finger or is it just sticky? Try a heat lamp 200 degrees for an hour is good for most jobs...
