The range on my F6B is 280+ miles. The new one is supposed to be 20% better in mpg, so range should be about the same with the smaller tank. At least based on the test programs. My ST1100 would get up into the 325 range, but Ive never gotten more than 280ish on my FJRs. These days it is hard...

Its official. https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/2017/10/24/2018-honda-gold-wing-first-look-18-fast-facts/2/ Looks like the long awaited Goldwing entry into the 21st Century. Im a sucker. I bought the K1600GTL in 2012. Ill probably trade some bikes for one of these after the bugs have been...

There is a gen 1 in Westminster. But he only uses it when he is packing a pillion.

Leave it to Garmin. Recalculating.....

I have run from just east of Nash Vegas up to Bah Habah without stopping for sleep ... but it wasnt me either. The DeLorme store is more interesting to me than LL Bean.

I stop at 40 too. Not for fear of what might happen with the bike, but because prolonged periods below about 42, my left foot precipitates gout, and it can last for weeks after the event. Ive been looking for a pair of electric socks as a possible solution. I havent owned any in years, and the...

A lot of previously very active posters have left after snarky final posts. Too bad because some offered great content some of the time. 20+ years ago when Philip Greenspun created the software for open forums as part of his dissertation at MIT, personality conflicts may not have been predicted...

At age 38, Rossi is still incredibly competitive. He did lead quite a few laps at Phillip Island. And he did hold on to second against intense competition. Rossi is better at 38 than most are at 25. Still, he is 38. And his time for winning is mostly past. When Capirossi was 38, he was riding...

I was going to suggest that there aren't that many new owners, and the old owners are ... well ... they're "old." But then I went to the new owner section to see if there'd been many new guys. And I found that there is a steady stream. So ... if the Forum is quiet, it may be because all the...

Congratulations on the retirement! Looks like youre making good use of it he time. Great report!

What YES costs is of no consequence to Canadians. FWIW, if you buy YES from a normal dealer rather than from D&H, it probably does cost about US$800. Certainly CA$1000 is a lot better than CA$1400, so .... thanks to the OP for sharing what is a good deal.

I didnt watch him. I went to the head. It was over in just a minute or two, so it must not have required R&R of anything. There should be two adjusters. I cant feel them running down the cables. The service manual is back ordered until the end of the month. If I get the manual, Ill post. FWIW...

I rode over to Castle Powersports, the dealer who sold me the bike. Taras adjusted it in the time I took to hit the head after the 96 mile ride over there. I literally walked in, handed over my keys, went to the bathroom, walked out to the lot, and rode away. Probably 5 or 6 minutes. So if...

The Seca 2 was not turbo, and it was a nice little bike. I think it was the XJ600S. I used ride mine with a guy who had an SV650. It was always neck and neck. Even at full throttle.

Some may remember the days when several companies offered bikes with boost. Barber has several on display. There was also st least one Wankel powered bike. Maybe this is Kawasakis answer to the new Euro emissions regulations. Like Ford - use boost instead of displaced volume to get your peak...

Ive figured out why this throttle free play issue is bothersome. It is no worse than my old ST1100 which I loved. So why dont I like the slightest bit of free play anymore? Ive gotten used to not having it. My other throttles have very little. And I have one bike with ride by wire (the Tiger...

Glad youre out on the bike! Any chance you visited the Linn factory in Glasgow 😉.

I was disappointed that they continue to ignore the South. Nothing in Nashville, nothing in Atlanta, nothing in Charlotte, etc. They didnt even toss us minor bones, like Cincinnati or Lexington. We ride 365 ... so they need to show us their stuff. This is a big market to ignore. I went the...
