    Electric scoot

    Many of these electric bikes are $19,000. Buy a comparable $7000 gasoline fueled bike and have $12,000 left for fuel and maintenance.

    Customs Duty on M/C parts bought and shipped from overseas?

    I bought a Givi topcase mount for a 56 liter Maxia 4 for my Tracer GT from Italy. The freight was a little high, but considering everything, it was much cheaper to buy the part from Italy. Nothing was ever said regarding any duty fees. It's possible it was in the freight charges. The dollar...

    WNY Tech Day VI, June 1, 2019

    I'll be there as usual. I'll try to drag Lisa and Trevor there as well. It's always a great time and Mike and Laura are an excellent host and hostess. Still thinking Spring here.

    2016 ES - Handgrips

    Yeah, I like a larger diameter grip as well. I tried the grip buddies once and they were too worn after the first year. I'm using some off brand of grip puppies type grip cover I found online from some cheap Chinese company. I bought a dozen of them and put them on our 4 bikes and gave the...

    2016 ES - Handgrips

    Maybe your numbing problem has nothing to do with your grips. I have a pair of gloves that make my hands numb every time I wear them. They must cut off my circulation in my hands somewhere. I honestly can't imagine an FJR having enough vibration to cause hands going numb. Just a thought.

    Just Purchased a Yamaha Tracer 900 GT This Morning!

    Ray, I sent you a much more informative PM. In short, my ride down to EOM from Pittsburgh was a joy. Highway riding is very comfortable and confidence inspiring. Also the riding position is better than the FJR because of more leg room and less knee bend. I'm a solo rider as my wife has her...

    2019 SEOR (South East Ohio Ramble )

    I'm out as quickly as I was in. Trevor's graduation is that weekend. Happy for Trevor, but bummed we won't make one of the best riding events of the year. Have fun everybody!

    Just Purchased a Yamaha Tracer 900 GT This Morning!

    What they said. Chain drive requires little maintenance these days. Love the Tracer GT!

    Little comparison, V-strom, 900gt

    I can't compare my Tracer GT to a V-Strom 1000 because I've never owned one. The GT is one sweet bike. I've had mine since August and I find myself riding it much more than my FJR. I'd be happy to field any questions about the GT. Crazy fun to ride locally or long distance. The power in "A"...

    I think Yamaha is having trouble finding the proper orange paint.
