    While we're on the subject of speed

    Then the 84 Yamaha VMAX was unleased which was like a 100th of a second faster than the Honda v-65, so it then the VMAX became KING of the streets. Remember, this was 20 years ago and these bike were the 1st bikes produced in the 120hp range...They were more like street dragsters than sport...

    How fast is this bike anyway?

    I was going down a major highway in Dallas the other night when a group of motorcycles passed me, all doing wheelies going well over 100 mph!! Not that I ever would even dream of riding like that, but could you with ease? Could I keep up with a Suziki GSX 1000 or a Kawasaki Nija if I wanted to...

    First ride on FJR

    Thanks for the comment.....as I still second guess myself about ordering an 06 FJR rather than a Wing or a BMW GT.........I love to hear more details about your ride and the differences you experienced both on the bike and after you got off vs other bikes you've experience.....

    Give the guy a break , the dealer didn't even know what they were for.......must not be anything of any usefullness as the factory didn't put em on, and by the way. What exactly are they for again? As your responses to this guys question so far don't make MUCH SENSE, as no ones come up with a...

    I finally did it;

    The 06 AE can be had for $12,999, but $13,500 is common.........those prices include Freight and Dealer Prep....which you have to watch out for, as especially in many of the larger dealerships who've employed lying SOB Salesmanagers like new car dealerships do, who'll give you a price, than when...

    Farmers In Cali,??

    You must remember that this current administration is in the back pockets of the Insurance industry, thus the insurance industry has gotten approval in the GOP controled states anyway, allowing them to base Insurance rates not only on MVRs, but now they can use CREDIT SCORING along with claim...

    UNDER-Insured Motorist

    I agree, if priced right uninsured/underinsured motorist should be bought.......but I'm talking $30-50 here.......unfortunately the insurance co's have run the premiums the UM right thru the roof.....I'm seeing them asking 100's of dollars for the coverage. That's rediculous...

    I can not tell a lie...or can I?

    If you think your ready to ride at 40....just wait until your 41!!! I honestly think I'd be hitting a homerun to cancel the bike, get all your financial affairs in order, then check with your employer about relocating you to another city, then disappear into the night. In other words, HAUL...

Well, they weren't...

    I was a member of AAA here in Texas and needed a tow truck.......the conversation went something like,,,,I'f your gonna pay cash, we can put at the top of the list, but if you want to use AAA to pay for it.......it's gonna be a couple of hours.... Towing insurance is worthless...
