It varies by state, but in Texas, the biggest problem is not dealing with the state, but rather the bank that has the lien. I've gone with a friend to look at a couple of bikes that were subject to...

Today I finished re-covering her seat, and filmed it so I could make a youtube video out of it tomorrow.

Anyone have an RF-1200 in "Brilliant yellow"?

My Arai Signet-Q is about five years old, so I'm looking to replace it. I liked it, but I tried on an RF-1200 yesterday at the local dealer, and I think it fit me better than the Signet-X does. So,...

It's clearly a pivot bolt of some sort.

The kickstand has a similar one with a lock nut on the back, although I think it's shorter, and a bigger diameter than the one pictured.

I bought a 2003 Ninja 250 for $1000 today. It needs maybe an afternoon of work by a skilled DIYer (me) to get into usable shape. Didn't even have to haggle; it seemed like a reasonable price as it...

I've owned many vehicles and the only one that didn't attract pretty much exclusively men, generally at gas stations, was an MR2 Spyder. Women loved that car so much that they regularly crashed...

I've owned both. The EX500, with almost double the power, is obviously faster. Depending on the sort of riding you do, it may be more appropriate, as its greater mass and power make riding it at...

In case no one answered this, the coolant line to the carburetors is used to prevent ice forming on the inside of them in cold weather. I would think you could probably get away with not using it on...

To each his own, but I find that wearing a helmet is more comfortable. Heck, even for driving a convertible car, a helmet is pretty nice. I got some WICKED sunburns and tinnitus from driving my...

It's not really the type of bike I'd care to ride, but the article says that the torque curve is pretty flat, which probably means that the engine suits...

Generally 500 to 1000 miles. Should be fine at 2000+.

Some things to check (not a complete list):

1. The brakes. Make sure they work smoothly. No lurching or pulsating. You can us a mic on...

So go test ride a bunch of bikes. Most dealers I've been to seem to be perfectly willing to let you test ride used ones.

Between those options, I'd probably just keep the 500, and spend a little fixing whatever deficiencies it has (the stock suspension is WAY too soft for most riders).
