    is the suzuki sv650 a good bike for me....?

    The SV is a good bike, but it is a twin that makes quite a bit less power than the gsxr. If you could get over that crazy horsepower fixation, you might find you liked it, but I'm thinkin' it's not really the bike for you.

    Why is the Suzuki DRZ400E lighter than the DRZ400S and DRZ400SM?

    The E has minimal lighting, just a headlight and LED taillight, and a minimalist enduro odometer, while the S has full road equipment, full-sized headlight with high and low beam, full-sized tail light and brake light, horn, turn signals, full instrumentation and mirrors. It also has a fan...

    im looking to take a cross country trip and a dual sport motorcycle. what is the best...

    The short answer: KLR650 There is no "best" bike for a cross-country trip. The details of where you plan to ride will militate in favor of one bike over another. How much off-road do you plan to do? all unpaved, as on the Trans-America trail, or a mix of paved highway and unpaved exploration...

    Suzuki GS 500 E vs Yamaha XJ 600 N?

    If I am not mistaken, the XJ is a four. I would rather ride a twin, so I'd go with the Suzuki. I'm gonna guess the XJ is faster, however. I think power is overrated, but if it means something to ya...

    Looking for a joke hand for a saddlebag?

    Any one that works for a car trunk should work for a saddlebag. Anyone who has one of these should also carry an ether cone in a subtle but noticeable location.

    1975 Yamaha CT1-175 Enduro Good Beginner Bike?

    It would be a fine bike to learn on. With an old 2-stroke, you need to be sure the crank seals are in good shape, especially on the primary side. leaky seals interfere with crankcase compression, giving erratic running. In addition, gearbox oil can be drawn into the crank case, resulting in too...

    Whats the easiest way to start my honda xl600?

    J has it. Fresh plug. Fresh fuel. Drain the condensation out of the float bowl. Be sure you have valve clearance. closed throttle, but be ready to tweak it if you get a pop. A great bike, once you get it started. Kicking it over repeatedly finished off a lifelong career of kick starting big...

    For a girl, Harley. Unless you want to really learn to ride. Then, get a dual sport first.
