I had a 1978 back in High School. That was a fun bike!Snagged this one owner 1974 KZ400 the other day. Fun little six speed bike. View attachment 7945396View attachment 7945397
I had one of those too. Those people that put that together need to get out more.That's funny, I just got this security challenge from PP.... I feel as though the answer is none of the above View attachment 7945575
The stock version of that was my first bike, i loved that thing.My lastest project/hooligan bike.
79 XS650 street tracker.
Don't mind the GPS zip tied to the handle bars I had to see what my top speed with the new tires and gears was. View attachment 7945559
Still wrenching on it, almost there, this is the stock variant on the right.
Nice, they definitely get in your blood. They are getting harder to find nowadays. I paid $ 4000.00 in 2012 high blue book. Had 4,400 on the clock with the original Batlax tires on it.I love the Gen1 Fazers! I had one up until recently, had to sell it to help fund a move across the country. Mine was the 2003 limited Kenny Robert’s “Bumble Bee” edition. I miss her, she was an absolute blast to ride!
Does wifey have life insurance on you ? Hmm…Probably one of the dumbest times to buy a bike but I'll be bringing my first ducati home in 2 weeks. Was almost going to let it go when the wife convinced me to get it... wife is always right so here we are!
2012 1199 panigale base model. For the price all the used jap bikes are going for I figured a ducati would hold its value beyond this high price time were in.

Sold a mint skunk 2004 FZ1 back in 05 to get the new 2006 gen 2 fz1. This is a pic of that bike I built, should have kept the skunk. Gen 2’s will come and go but my gen 1 will stay with me to the end.
No mine did not crack thankfully, but I was always worried about it happening. Between that and the throttle snatch that Yamaha never owned up to was total bs on there part. Yea being that the gen 1 was cycle world magazines best bike of the year for three years in a row should speak volumes. Gen 2 has fuel injection and a more rigid frame, but the tank is ugly if you ask me. Gen 1 super comfy and fast if done right. Sport bike performance that you can ride across america 130 1 handed, no bs. My gen 2 may have been slightly faster than the gen 1 but only by a nose. Gen 1 with top shelf suspension, brakes and usd forks is a completely different animal.Yep! The Gen1 has a serious following, and for good reason! They’re solid bikes, fairly easy to work on (had to order special feeler gauges to do the valve adjustment thanks to the five valve head, though), and a blast to ride!
Any frame cracking issues on your Gen2? I know they were prone to it on earlier models with that weld just above the clutch basket.
Here’s one of a handful of runs at Texas Mile with my 2005 FZ1. Did all the tuning myself, last run was 151.96 in high humidity, hot and headwinds. Purely streetable and still in the garage. Have a 2004 Tuono that keeps it in good company.
Now do the Big bear chopper treatment to it and that thing will be sick as fuck, Olins suspension and big dank Brembos, do the motor later.I got rid of my Road Glide two weeks back. Picked up a Low Rider ST.
The RG had exhaust, intake, cam, and was dyno tuned, and this factory 117 would walk all over it.
Installed exhaust and a tune from Fuel Moto yesterday to get rid of the sewing machine sound. Much better.

No my friend, Big Bear choppers is a bike builder in So Cal and he used to build some sick choppers back when it was a popular. Now he builds some of the badest hot rod Harley’s out there today. He actually has a bike in the king of the baggers racing series. I get it it’s a little deceiving from the name but the company is the real deal. He actually builds a complete titanium frame FXR from the ground up with top shelf Olin’s suspension, no man I don’t no shit about motorcycles. Look up Big bear choppers and look at some of his builds on YouTube, no chopper stuff nothing but big boy shit. I was not knocking your bike, the low rider st is a sweet bike. But let’s be honest Harley has never put decent suspension or brakes on there bikes and they are heavy. And actually I do ride and was just give you a little info how to make that st the real deal it can be. They gave you a cool bike that has more travel and higher off the ground for more lean angle with no brakes or suspension as what Harley always does, it is what it is. You can convert your front forks to olins with Big bears cartridge kit and convert your front brakes to radial brembos with there bracket conversion kit and have Olin’s shocks in the rear and get a proper set up and have a real deal HD but that might be for people who actually ride, just saying.Motor later and convert to a chopper?
You have never ridden, have you?
A rake belongs in a garden, not on a bike.
Busa ?Guy that ran in front of me ran 232 in mile. Said the half mile asphalt and quarter mile of pasture runout came up pretty fast! Top speed on a bike stood at 278 for quite a while.
Stolen off Craigslist ... a little rougher handling than my Indian FTR but a total blast to ride. Sounds as good as it looks.

There’s just way too many mofos in that picture.We had our annual Polar Bear Run yesterday--what a great way to start the new year! It wasn't much of a 'polar' ride as the high temp yesterday was 72 degrees.
The ride was sponsored by one of our local HD dealerships--they only expected about 15 to show up......our group was 28 and 3 other groups arrived right after we did. 81 bikes and roughly 100 people. Our tailgunner took this pic and I'm somewhere in the front third of the pack.
This is one of the reasons to live in the South--All y'all Yankees dealing with ice, snow and sub-zero temps for 4 months out of the year are missing out on some of the best riding weather!

Switch to snow machines in the winter.

My second motorcycle. Bought it new when I was thirteen. Dad took me to the bank and took out a loan, had ½ the money, and made me the cosigner. Had me create a checking account and I paid the loan monthly.
