That VFR looks like what just came out of me in the bathroom! Alot of these new bikes coming out have lost all there style and lines.

I'm bored and thought i would get some bike talk going. So what are your favourite bikes and years. All i know is alot of these new sportbikes with there short exhausts and shi**y lines just don't cut it for me anymore. Heres some of my faves the blade from 92- 99. The R1 from 98- 02, the blackbird ...

My CR 500 is used for single track riding. I have alot of hours riding on 500,s. I've learned the hard way not to get to cocky on these machines. I'ts still nice to get out in the open stuff and point the front wheel to the sky when in fifth gear.

Just curious to know what was everyones first bike. Mine was a 1974 Honda sl 70. Followed by many more dirtbikes growing up. My current offroad weapon is a CR 500 motor placed in a 2004 CRF 450 frame. I take extra tighty whities with me everytime i go for a ride on this thing.

Thanks for the info and help boys! This is my first twin, i have over 100 000 kilometers all on inline fours. Twins tend to run a little hotter i guess. Thanks again!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm sure this site will come in handy more than once!

The fan will come on if i keep the bike at a lower speed of say 50 or 60 kph! The fan comes on at 220 F, i have to keep my speeds up in order for the bike to stay at a lower temp. It heats up way to fast when the speeds stay at anything lower than 90 kph. If i was to keep my speed at 50 or 60 kph th...

I have a 02 storm that is overheating at lower speeds. If i stay at a lower speed the fan is in risk of coming on. I've taken the thermostat out and still no luck. I've had it to the shop and been told that the head gasket is fine. I've also taken the water pump cover off and turned the bike over. E...
