Dad sent me this earlier today, figured it might jive with some of you folks here. Engine looks like it belongs in a lawn tractor, and it needs moar turbo in my opinion, but still pretty cool. And even with "only" 20hp it still probably puts down more torque than our bikes. V-Twin Diesel...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RUW2Xh0HoE Obvious turbo shenanigans aside, check out that rear brake setup......I've never seen something that built before.

Yamaha has released the FZ-09's little brother, the MT-07, in European markets. Not sure if it will come to North America yet. 2014 Yamaha MT-07 First Look Review- Photos- EICMA 2013

If anyone has been waiting for the NC700 rear seat from Seat Concepts, like I've been, brace for disappointment. They shelved it. I emailed them last night after seeing that it was neither in the upcoming products column or the new products column, and apparently there wasn't enough interest...

Well, for the time being anyway. As the result of a bad start to the new year I got to spend a bit of time in the waiting room of the local Canadian Tire store while a pair of tires were fitted to my car this afternoon, and something completely awesome happened. There was a young french...

I know this is a bike forum and all, but I'm just too stoked about my most recent purchase. I finally sold my old Ford truck and picked this little gem up last night. 2006 Mazda RX-8 GT with a 6 speed. When wound out that little rotary sounds incredible, like a cross between a sport bike I4...

Y'all seem to be a level headed bunch of folks, so I thought I might come to you with this. Very early in the year my girlfriend's mom traded in the deadbeat she was living with for a better model. I never liked the guy from the start, and as much as I hate to see family units break up, this...

It was a nice day yesterday, so I dug the S out of hibernation to go for a quick run up Foley Mountain. It's been about a month since I've been out on the bike, so as I was running down the road I live on I damn near missed the intersection where it T's off with a more major road. The T...

HONDA NC 700 S - Deluxe seats, petrol tank covers, tank bags [Rates for an order from : FRANCE] It seems prices range from 260CAD to over 400. Not sure if it's a bolt on deal like Shad or Corbin, or just foam & a cover. I'll have to inquire.

It's getting to be that time of year around here when the bikes go away until spring, but for some of us that means more fun is about to begin. What are some of your plans for motorcycle oriented projects? Right now on my list I've got: Install some sort of rear fender eliminator Hand...

Was out on a bit of a tour today and stopped by a dealer to have a look at some of the bikes. They had two NC/Ss and one of each of the new CTX models. I find the touring model to be the more attractive of the two, but I digress. They had an S and a CTX/T parked beside each other and as I was...

Yeah, pretty stoked about it. It took way too long to get here, but there's only one MRA importer in Canada and they didn't impress me with how they handled my order. I spoke with MRA directly and they have an exclusive agreement to only sell through their importers, so buying factory direct...

I'm pretty stoked about this right now, just on the way home from work today I got my left peg to throw some sparks on a couple corners. I've been really close the last few days, boots scuffing on the pavement and stuff. Now I just gotta work a little harder on the right side...... Who else...

The brown truck of happiness made a visit to my house today, and much to my dismay without my new windshield.......but he did have the saddle bags I ordered! Made by Ogio, and as far as I'm concerned not all that expensive. I think taxes & shipping in I've got about $140 in them. Rather...

Not really sure if I'm asking for advice here or looking to hear anyone else's experience in similar situations, but here it is. I just recently found out by complete accident what my girlfriend had planned for me to do to celebrate my 25th birthday this fall. Probably a key mistake on her...

Holy cow what a beast! This book is about twice as thick as the manual I have for my truck! It's about the same size as the book I have for my WR, but that one is broken up into four languages whereas this manual is all english. And LOTS of pictures too, it's pretty neat to see how the engine...

As much as I love my S, I couldn't stand the yellow accents on the frunk and the stickers. I hate yellow, the only think it looks good on are extra-terrestrial robots that resemble camaros. So I pulled the NC700S stickers off the side, and removed the frunk boomerangs. Really easy, 2 screws...

Anyone know if there's a slipper clutch available for these bikes? I'd love to have one on the S for tackling the twisties.:cool:

And the only thing I really have to say is what a dumb place to put a drain bolt. Sideways between the pan and exhaust....:confused: Good thing I let the bike sit for about 30 mins before getting at it, otherwise I'd have a few interesting burns to explain to the lads at work. Everything else...

Just rode a 2012 NC700SAC home from the local dealer today, and I'm pretty pumped to be part of the street bike crowd now. Been riding dirt bikes since I was a kid, and figured now is the time to get on a street bike. That, and save a little on gas vs driving my old ford powerstroke too and...
