I'm still waiting for the 2005 Honda E4-01 900cc Scooter Andy

Just press the upshift button to get the transmission to shift into 6th To completely cure it buy the latest model with extra DCT Modes :) I must get a ride on the latest model to check the extra DCT features out :D Sndy

Nice bike! Had a test ride on one yesterday. Bike was a 17 plate and had only done a 10 mile test ride :) Engine was really nice and the gearbox was one of the best that I've tried (and I've tried a few!) Exhaust note was a little on the quiet side, but I am comparing it to the legal can I have...

And it's a Suzuki! Nice bike though, I have been looking at the standard V-Storm latest model. I do have a soft spot for Large cc V-Twins :) Andy

The FJ09 in the States is the Tracer 900 which has the 900 triple engine with 115 BHP The Tracer 700 that Johnakay has bought has a 689cc Twin engine with 74BHP Johnakay, very nice bike! I've been watching those with interest, I must get. Test Ride....... :D Andy

The throttle is light on the NC range. If you want a stiff one (Throttle...) try a Yamaha FJR1300 they are really heavy. Talking about the Yamaha FJR1300 throttle, a common mod was to remove a spring from the throttle body to lighten the throttle. Andy

I've always thought those centre stand dollies look a bit unstable and I would be worried about the bike falling off. I have a Bike Mover that uses the side stand and it works really well. Here's a video showing one in use http://youtu.be/UgyQkJF8dXg I use mine with my Integra 750 and I also...

I like the look of that! Glad they have made the seat height taller over the MT07, that's the reason I bought a MT09 instead of the MT07 75bhp sounds like a welcome boost over the NC750's 54bhp :) Andy

We already get it in the UK isn't that a NC750S ? Andy

It makes you wonder how the designers can come up with really bad ideas like that! Andy

The Dry Clutch is another reason I won't have a earlier twin (owned a couple....) the bike has to be stripped down to a silly level to replace the clutch (see above photo!) My last R1200RT clutch started to slip with only 25,000 miles on the clock :( They have moved the clutch to the front of...

I would love a BMW but the horror stories of the dreaded Final Drives scare me away. Has the Final Drive been sorted on the Watercooled models? I borrowed a R1200GS Watercooled bike for the day while mine was being serviced, it's a fantastic engine! Andy

My mileage dropped by quite a lot when I fitted a much larger screen :( Andy

The coldest I ever rode here in the UK in the 80's was -15 C (5 degrees F) It was my only transport at the time. That was Cooooold! :) Andy

Another reason will be that it would take the rider out of the equation when testing new parts on a Motogp bike. The Robot would be consistent and they would get accurate data. If they managed to train the Robot to a higher standard than a human they would then have a Benchmark for the rider...

A year or so ago it was over £1.30 a litre in the UK so that would have worked out to approx. $8.93/gal Andy

A electric vehicle characteristics can be tuned by adjusting the controller by plugging a Laptop in You could have as much power available from 'tickover' that the bike would be completely unrideable! :) Andy

Sure do! Lost count of people taking pictures from another moving car on there Mobile (Cell) Phone....... Last year my brother went to Monaco and there was a Twizy parked up. It was surrounded by Ferraris and other Exotic Supercars but everyone was crowding around the little Renault Twizy...

Nice bike! I am a huge fan of EV's Here in the UK I a drive Renault Twizy :) Because of daft Euro Laws I actually drive it on my Motorcycle Licence! It is a two seater (passenger sits hehind driver :) ) it has a top speed of 52mph and a real world range of 45 miles Only takes 3 hours to...

I had a similar thing a few years ago when I had a high performance Sportsbike. A mate who was not a biker wanted to give the bike a little Rev. The bike had a throttle like a Hair Trigger and the guy gave it a rev....., In the blink of an eye it was bouncing off the Rev Limiter! Never...
