  1. Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) 25 Sep 2020 20:14 Picked up another SV for $600. 01 model, nearly stock, under 8k miles, less than 30 miles ridden in the last 7 years, have been sitting in the last 2 years. No rust inside the fuel tank. Will need chain/sprockets, fork…
  2. Some serious VFR action: Japanese Motorcycle Police Competition 15 Apr 2020 18:00 Some serious VFR action.
  3. Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) 22 Mar 2020 19:39 Since 2013, I've been commuting back and forth between Phila, PA and Brooklyn, NY. Motorcycles are better suited for long distance on the highway, but lack the luggage carrying capacity. Additionally, once I get to…
  4. Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) 21 Mar 2020 00:05 77 degree F in rural Philly this afternoon. I got all the bikes out of garage for a ride. [image: q1S3VTk.jpg]
  5. Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) 14 Oct 2019 12:37 With weather turning cold, used bikes are cheap.. Picked up a nearly stock 2001 SV650S, minor body work scratches, needs carb sync, oil/filter/coolant/brake fluid change, 17k miles. $1250 cash. [image: WNlu2S6.jpg]…
  6. Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) 2 Aug 2019 22:47 Today's pick: 2003 BMW F650GS, 17k miles. Needs Chain/sprockets, rear brake master cylinder replacement or rebuild. But it does come with a set of BMW side cases. $1500 cash. [image: IhLG0Id.jpg]
  7. Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) 24 Jul 2019 21:27 Sold my BMW last year, replacing it with another next month: [image: sbhAP3t.jpg] [image: URhA6tj.jpg] Yes, those are carbon wheels & Ohlins shocks.
  8. 00 vfr800 1st and 2nd gear gone 6 Apr 2019 19:54 Any background info on mileage? Last clutch plates replacement?
  9. Oh so shiny 2000 12 Feb 2019 12:04 Years of riding dirt bikes with 38"+ standover height gives me plenty of practice being stable resting on one foot. [image: cat0020_Motorcycling_660.jpg]
  10. Oh so shiny 2000 11 Feb 2019 16:38 Personally, I find that having just one foot firmly on the ground is far more stable than trying to tip-toe between two feet during a stop. Just rest your body on one thigh on the seat before you come to a stop, you…
  11. Oh so shiny 2000 6 Feb 2019 13:41 Nice find. Y2K VFR should have black OEM wheels, but silver wheels looks just fine. I picked up my 00 VFR w/13k miles on odo back in 2016 under $3K, now it has over 19k miles, in need of new tires, chain/sprockets.…

  14. Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) 24 Sep 2018 23:23 Yeah, wouldn't feel too bad if it gets damaged or stolen in the Big Apple, which is likely going to be the place I keep it. 599 will replace my 04 Ninja 250 that I sold earlier this year.
  15. Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) 23 Sep 2018 19:38 It's been nearly one year since my last moto purchase. Today, I bought a 04 Honda 599 for $1600, 15k mi. needs chain/sprockets/tires/front brake pads/lines: [image: gZPyM9F.jpg] [image: M7SfwKc.jpg]
  16. Why Do You Ride 28 Sep 2017 18:37 I was born in Taiwan, I grew up where 2-wheel vehicles outnumber cars. Since the age of 4 or 5, my older sister have been carrying me on her 50cc scooter, with my other older sister. At the age of 15, I came to the US.…

  18. New to me 5th gen and maintenance 27 Apr 2017 15:43 Wow, that's a real bummer with the accident... mucho sad. This time of the year is always the most dangerous when the weather start to get nice, more new drivers/motorcyclist get out on the roads; I usually ride less…

  21. Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) 5 Jan 2017 13:14 8 hours ago, Epyon007 Your insurance company must love you! I would have 3 bikes again but I can't really afford to insure 2 bikes on top of all the other crap I need to pay for every month. Maybe one day I'll have…

  23. What luggage actually looks good on a 5th gen??? 25 Dec 2016 16:11 After two decades riding 2-wheels.. I've moved away from hard cases for luggage.. just for less (non-removable) weight on the bike. [image: IMG_8973.jpg]
  24. Let's talk tyres! 4 Dec 2016 15:08 Too many variables between different riders, riding style, road surfaces, air temperature, traffic pattern.. and many more that affect the performance of tires.. Regardless of what bike/tires, I treat the first 5 miles…

  26. Power socket locations??? 28 Nov 2016 17:38 Depends on the purpose.. for GPS/smartphone, I put it close to the handlebars. For heated jacket/liner/gear, I put it next to the tank, next to my left inner thigh for easy access of temperature adjustment on-the-fly.
  27. Mint 2000 Model 28 Nov 2016 17:28 Nice form.
  28. Mint 2000 Model 25 Nov 2016 23:38 Brakes, who needs them; they only slow you down.

  30. Mint 2000 Model 13 Nov 2016 00:25 number9, 11/11/2016 at 3:54 PM For those that have ridden an XX, how do they compare to (say) a ZX12? A bit old but.. ZX-12 vs XX ZX-12 vs CBR XX [url= https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYx84N7t8lGuw3airJz9KuA ]Five part…
