Follow along with the test rides happening in Japan this week: MCN's Honda VFR 1200F Test Ride Blog So far so good (and he also seemed to like the dual-clutch version in a separate write-up too)...

Details on the ST setup... VFR1200F with Dress-up Parts and Accessories Specially designed to match the VFR1200F impressive styling, a range of accessories have been developed together with this top-of-the-line sports touring machine. Special panniers (each with a capacious 29-liter...

No rear shots (as yet), only these... It *looks* like the bottom of the hard bags are concaved thus the exhaust gasses flow unobstructed underneath the bag...? EDIT: I found another picture which shows this concaved bag shape much better. And, if you look closely, it appears that there's...

From the Tokyo Motor Show, the VFR1200 in full ST trim:

Autoblog write-up of the CB1100F std and cafe from the Tokyo Motor Show with full picture gallery here: Honda CB1100 Brings Back the UJM My checkbook is ready... UPDATE: Well, f**k. I just read that - at this moment, the CB1100 std is only slated for sales in Australia and Brazil. (Brazil...

And, 20 months later, I still think a 1200cc DS is just too big. But then again, most BMW 1200GS bikes never see anything more treacherous than a groomed fire road... (Kind of like most people's 4-wheel drive trucks/SUVs.)

And here she is live at the Tokyo Motor Show: the 2010 Honda CB1100 cafe. This bike is just all kinds of delicious...

HD dealer incentive program for Buell sales: Harley paying dealers $5,000 for every Buell sold Bottom line: don't feel bad about low-balling the hell out of the dealer. :evil:

Yeah, and the poor ******* missed getting blown in the dryer..! :lol: Sure wish I could join you guys Saturday, but I wouldn't be back in Portland in time for a family commitment @ 3:30 that afternoon. :( Have fun all, learn lots, and take plenty-o-pics..!!

This is like watching Keystone Cops...! :lol:

That's what's called "market pricing". Good to know given I have an office in Singapore. Perhaps I'll order my parts from a local dealer to be delivered that office, and then hand-carry them back to the US when I'm there. Now there's a thought..! :)

You might want to take another look, but as I recall it's light guage steel. I'll get another look at mine in a couple of weeks when I pull the fairing off to replace a panel.

If you replace it, it's 1 piece, listed as "Stay 1" (p/n 3P6-28356-00-00) on the "Cowling 1" parts fiche (line item 36). Cycle Parts Nation has it for US$ 308.43. As it's steel and not aluminum, I'd think that a good auto body or precision metal shop should be able to straighten the original...

Lovely! So that's what Fred's erection looks like..! :lol:

Nope, absolutely not a manufacturing defect. Sorry to have to tell you this, but that bike has been dropped on its right side. The previous owner likely replaced the mirror which would have taken the brunt of the fall, but didn't go to the trouble of straightening the fairing subframe. You will...

I'm considering replacing my PIAA 1100X auxiliary driving lights with micro HIDs. A pair of the Trail Tech HID SCMR16 (model 4212) is the lamp I'm considering as it's a virtual bolt-on/plug-in replacement for the 1100X, albeit at half the wattage (and half the price of the PIAA-labeled Cross...

HD's strategy boiled down, compliments of Hell for Leather: Full article here: Harley Didn't Calculate Savings. Worth reading.

Ah, come on, Ralph. Go easy on the Kiwi. You know that damned sheep syphilis really wreaks havoc on their brains..! :P

Though not completely unexpected, this is terrible news. The US will no longer have a domestically engineered and produced sportbike of any consequence. Erik Buell has been so far out in front on so many aspects of sportbike design (mass centralization anyone?), that most other major...

I'll certainly be keeping this in mind the next time we ride together. Eric, you are henceforth confined to the back of the pack..! :lol:
