I could make Friday happen, let me get back to you.

Awesome bike! Great motor as long as it never ran on its side. Had a ZRX which has the same motor, gobs of torque and still pulls up top. The ZZR has better cams and a 6th gear which makes it an even better motor. GLWS

Lets ride down to IP next weekend and do some Yamaha test rides. I am interested in the FJ-09 and FJR as a replacement for the FZ1. Sorry for thread jack...

Did you make it to vintage days? Sure there were a few for sale.

The Ninja 1000 is not the superbike (ZX10R), it's a gentlemans sport street bike with normal ergonomics and a fantastic motor. Think modern FZ1 with hard bags. @jschaf has the same bike.

I think ABS and FI is a minimum standard with TC as a would be nice want. Gen 1 is nice, I have one, but they are starting to become a dinosaur.

Should have made this decision a week ago and rode down to Vintage Days at Mid-O. 75% of your nationwide perspective buyers were there looking to purchase.

Or backfire that causes a herd of horses to run for the hills!

Can the big VFR still be had new in the US? Have heard from many people that the 1200 motor may be the best street motor ever.

Forgot about this one and the @Tpoppa express.

And you did not hold anyone up... A couch can be fast with a good pilot.

Connie has ABS, but no cruise.

Most of us has seen what @Connie14 and @jacobhawkins can do. Would be a perfect fit.

FJR or Concourse if you want to keep it in the family.

Back! I want my Sunkist back... ?

EK Going to assume an x-ring failed and now the chain has a kink.

Bought a chain from RD last August and it failed less than a year from installation. I am very anal about cleaning and living chains and have never had one fail before 15k-20k. Clearly the chain has a defect which has nothing to do with RD, but Michael very quickly (like within 15 minutes of initial email) had customer support call, setup a prepaid return to the manufacturer and get a new chain coming no charge! This is as good as it gets with after sales support! You just gained a lifetime customer.

I do, it's how you keep things operating at peek performance. Your point is still valid.

Nice bike! Think Suzuki did a good job with this bike...better looking and better performance compared to the FZ line. The FZ10 may change the performance side though.

If we are riding with you do we get an automatic ban?

It's the best color!

Yes

If we are on the road at 8:30 then we will be in New Concord by 9:30 at our normal pace. 10:45 at 377 and 11:30 at 550. 550 to Marietta will be under an hour. All times are +/- 15 minutes depending on pace and traffic.

Welcome! Went to BG and know the area well. Not much for roads, but there are some fun ones to keep you occupied. 105 to Woodville, 65, 424 from Napoleon to Defiance, and further south you can run 12 from Findlay to Columbus Grove. You can connect them all together and run 105 to 20...run over to Fremont and hit 12 all the way to 115 north to Defiance. In Defiance hit 424 to 65 and back home. Finish the ride off with Myles Pizza (don't forget the cheesy garlic bread) and everything will be right as rain.
