The main issue I see with the FZ09 is the tiny fuel tank. Some areas you gotta go more than 100 miles between fuel stops.

I've went 165 miles on a tank on mine.

2017 Kawasaki Z9000

Most torque most HP with no rider nanny systems.

$7,550

Cycle World says $8800 for the Z900 and $9000 for the FZ09... so for $200 extra bucks you get the nanny electronics and a lighter bike, that's just as fast...

How about the GSX-S750 for $300 over $8K?

The FZ09 is 40 lbs lighter, has 5 more hp and 5 more tq.

Best pic I could find.

They handled the downpour the Dragon had on the 5th. And that front tire has 12k on it in that pic, rear has 500 miles with only the ride down on it. The FZ gets very light in the front loaded up like this. Still no problems with grip.

I love them. Stop hatin' hater. 

Haters gonna hate. I had some feathering on my PR4s, but then I adjusted my Ohlins. And I've never had a problem with them searching or wandering, or even grip problems on my FZ09.

Reviews I read listed the Road Smarts as slightly edging the PR4 in warm up, wet grip and tire profile. The RS was said to hsbe more of a triangle profile, where the PR4 is less aggressive with a rounder carcass shape. Mileage seemed to be on par with the PR4. 

The Pony has them on clearance right meow. Picking up a set for Izzy. $170, plus tax. 

Only review I've seen of the Road Smart being better is by Dunlops own Test rider, on their own track. Doesn't seem bias at all...

Michelin Pilot Road 4s. I've done everything from a cross country tour, to Breckenridge in the snow, to Pikes Peak and the Dragon in a down pour. Never let me down once, and always last 10k. And I live in the land of flat square 1 mile blocks.

We need a new name for this company.

HarDucley seems promising.

Hearing protection and music in one. You can typically find them at Menards with the other hearing protection. For $25, they are great. 

Great little bike. My wife loves hers. Glws. 

I'm off that day.

2wheel Inn in Robbinsville looks like it would hold us.  It's more of a motel-like setup, but each room has an attached bike garage, a breakfast/dinner steakhouse on site, laundry, 19 rooms available.  $80/night

My first trip to DG was when the two wheel inn was new. It's a basic room, but what else ya need? Nice paved parking. Think there is a new restaurant next door now.

And does it still claim compliance with JASO MA1 or MA2 standards?  I wonder.

Oddly, it does still say it on the website.... but they have expanded the Rotella lineup so a little more digging might be in order. Maybe they didn't all get moly.

Westfield has great deals constantly. They were the best price on my friends GSX S1000 and it was back when they had just hit the showroom floors. They made him one heck of a deal.

I know when I had a flat, hundreds of miles from home, I was glad my bike had a common 180/55/17 cause I knew any dealership would have it.

Any dealer should have a 160 that will fit fine. And considering a SV650 rides on the same rims.... 

I work, as always....

CBR250 single is an awesome choice.

Honestly, I think it would be a really fun bike to own.  You can go WOT every time the light turns green, and you'll never make it past 100mph on the highway to put yourself in real danger of losing your license.

I think i'd put a taller windscreen on it and a steel front brake line, then just burn through tires.  A naked version with riser bars would be more discreet than the full-fairings, but I feel like wind-screens look less attractive in that context, and they're greatly appreciated at highway speeds...

Man, the fiancée's CB300F is a blast to ride.  And surprisingly the wind blast at WOT isn't bad at all. Honda did a good job on the aerodynamics.

I wish I could connect to his Sena so that he could hear me, but I didn't have to hear him. That would be fun. 

I believe you can mute individuals in the app.

I was gonna try to start with my Fiancée using our Sena 20s and the  Sena GP10 GoPro backpack, but the backpack is complete crap when not using it solo. It pops and crackles horrible.

The one decent vid I got from Colorado last summer. 

If it falls through, send a message to these guys. The might be interested in finishing it.

Yea, the season is over, but if you're like me, you haven't seen a race yet. Winter is my watching time so this is perfect.

Watch MotoGP all winter if ya haven't watched the races already.

For anyone packing small, this thing is amazing. Makes a wifi hotspot, you connect your phone to, plug in an SD card and external HD, and swap files back and forth. It will even link to the local wifi at the hotel and allow you pass thru to still access the Web as it works. With my 3 GoPros, DSLR, and 2 up on my FZ09, I didn't have room for the laptop. This was a storage wonder for the trip.
