    I'm selling my motorcycle before I receive my title in the mail--How can I

    Anybody that buys that bike from you is asking for problems. If a bank had it that would be different, but since DMV has it in process, anything can happen. What if DMV sends it back with a problem? A bill of sale is nearly worthless in many places, Nevada doesn't really look at them, they...

    How much horsepower does a 07 Honda Shadow Vt 750 have?

    They have about 40 hp, which is enough to haul the average person around. They aren't quite big enough to ride 75-80 on the freeway for any distance, but around town and some freeway they are great. I have one.

    1981 gs450 suzuki carb problems...?

    This is about the most typical problem with bikes that sit for awhile. The carb has two jets, one is numbered 100+ and the other about 42. The long one with the 42 is plugged or has enough crud surrounding the very small hole in it that it wont let enough gas through. Or the circuit that the...

    why would the clutch on a harley davidson make a knocking or pinging noise and...

    Any clutch in a bike that old has shot springs at a minimum. Just replace the friction plates and springs and whatever mickey mouse thing it uses for a throwout or pressure plate.

    Which bike do you recommend for beginner, Nighthawk, Rebel or Buell Blast?

    Just so you know, the Buell vibrates at low rpm, then smoothes and really runs vibration free above 55 or so. Downside is they vibrate the exhaust system to death, and I don't mean some of them do it, its guaranteed. Unless you want to learn to work on bikes, I wouldn't get a Blast.

    looking for a place to buy front forks for a 95 honda cbr 600 rr?

    If it was in an accident that bent the forks the frame is probably bent too. Look for any signs of stress behind the neck and under the tank. I hope you didn't buy it thinking it would be a good cheap bike.

    how much hp does a 1983 kawasaki kx 500 have?

    Somewhere around 45 hp is right. 65 would be dangerous in that kind of bike, no matter if your name was Roger DeCoster. Other bikes with similar HP would be a Honda CR 500 and other 450-500 cc two strokes. It really doesn't matter about a couple hp but how you ride it.

    Where can I find the value for how much my Harley-Davidson Sportser is worth?

    A photo is worth 1,000 words, but you included your description of a 40 year old bike instead. So there is no way of telling really, other than if it is all stock and has not been raped, its probably worth about $1500-$2000.

    Do you have to own a Harley Davidson to be a member of ABATE?

    Go to an ABATE meeting? Why bother? They are fighting helmet laws while the EPA and CARB are putting catalytic converters and crap on our bikes, instead of fighting helmets they need to fight to have our bikes run on gasoline not alcohol, fight any regulation about what kind of fuel we can...
