  1. I'll have to read some reviews. If it handles anything like the Street Triple it will be on my short list.
  2. I got this for $500 http://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-3-600-Watt-Subaru-211-cc-Gasoline-Powered-Portable-Generator-RD903600/203183981#customer_reviews For the same price I could have gotten a generic with a higher wattage rating, but didn't see the point. Last time power went out it ran my sump pump and 3 neighbor sump pumps no problem.
  3. The most important part of a generator is the motor. I wouldn't buy one without a motor manufacturer I trusted. I bought a Ridgid generator last year with a Subaru motor. I would also consider a Honda or Yamaha powered generator. Much better choice: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Homelite-5-700-Watt-Gasoline-Powered-Portable-Generator-UT905700/203138130?N=1z0y3ztZ1z0y3ziZ1z0y3yl
  4. Whenever I see a bike for sale with those aftermarket fairings, I assume it has been wrecked. Unless the owner still has the OEM fairings.
  5. I like everything except the suspension. Maybe they'll have a higher spec version like the Street Triple R.
  6. I wasn't looking for anything new, but I got the leftover '10 ABS model for what people are asking for used 08-09s without ABS.
  7. Yep, I just need to make my self do it. Old habits and such. Power delivery is very different from a V2.
  8. Says the 'tall' guy on the Multistrada.
  9. Track guys are always trying to sell their OEM takeoffs
  10. I picked up a leftover 2010 CBR600RR ABS a couple weeks ago. Fit and finish is quite nice. It has 'track tuned' Combined ABS that is actually pretty impressive. There's some You Tube videos of people slamming in the brakes on sand and wet asphalt without issue. I haven't been that brave, but good to know it can do it. After riding mostly twins for the last 10 years, I seem to have a mental block that forces me to shift at 10k. I'm working on it though. Stock photo, but all Hondas look the same.
  11. The Suzuki 650 twin motor is most excellent.
  12. Check with Paul at DucRX. Unless he only touches fancy Ohlins these days

  14. I never ride without ear plugs.
  15. http://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/3847655529.html Someone needs to buy this.
  16. Here's ZRX. Always liked those bikes. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2002-KAWASAKI-ZRX1200R-PUUURRRRFECT-EDDIE-LAWSON-REPLICA-RACER-/221234233163?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item3382967f4b
  17. I've been looking for a 07 or newer CBR 600. I would agree that price seems high. Nice bike though.
  18. I would be concerned about the mileage unless he has maintenance records, specifically valve checks. If it was maintained properly, I would still offer him less than $3,300. There aren't that many people buying high mileage motorcycles these days...if he really wants to sell it he may have to make a deal
  19. Love the 650 twin mill.
  20. I spent some time in Portland. I could live there
  21. without seeing them side by side, it's difficult to be specific.
  22. i noticed that also. Seems like less activity since the change.
  23. An X1 is what a hd sportster should have been. The handling isnt in the same league as an XB or 1125 and not nearly as reliable.
