I agree Yammie will need to upgrade soon as the C14 is getting a lot of attention lately both in the mags and with the riding public. We know they have the ability to compete. Perhaps they consider the market/profit margins to small to invest R/D funds. I never could figure the one color paint...
Those of you that have used both I would appreciate your thoughts-I need an aux light to light the (left and right hand) shoulders on the two lane country roads I ride on. I live in the sticks with abundant wildlife. I am not a fast rider and rarely exceed the posted speed limit. Whats the best...
all Texas state troopers have detector detectors as do a lot of other states because of federal law which forbids all,(regardless of state) commerical (DOT) trucks and other DOT classified vehicles from having them-as stated earlier they are using federal highway grant money to purchase them
plugged several bike tires with the black sticky worm and never had a leak have run some over 6,000 miles (but I am a 70-75 mph rider and never ride at excessive speeds)--always use slime in ATV's but never in bikes
Well spoken different bikes are made for different purposes/riding styles I rode an 08 1200R Sportster,06 FJR and 02 R1150 BMW and liked the beemer the best for my style of riding-the FJR was a close second and the Harley was first choice for short trips. I liked the Harley for the reasons you...
had an 06 FJR and a 02 R1150 (6 speed) at the same time liked the beemer better and sold the FJR when they fix the buzzy motor and uneven throttle will buy another FJR. Power wise the FJR beat the beemer hands down but in a lot of other areas the beemer was a better bike for me. Mine has been...
another year on the beemer for me (waiting for the final drive to explode at any time 80,00 miles on it now :rolleyes: ) cant handle the buzzy motor and uneven throttle hoping the big change is in 2010
The bike is all the above-I would suspect the stronger one is the lesser chance of dropping the bike. I never dropped mine (FJR) however consider myself only average strength for my age group-come close many times but always very very careful when riding it. I have dropped my BMW 3 times-twice...
dealer in Corpus Christi didnt know it existed either argued with me and said I didnt what I was talking about I had to get him to call Yamaha to prove a point
not the way I was looking at it-my reply was directed to some kind of drop protection bars looking to cut the cost of a tip over because I need to keep my hard earned dollars in my pocket.
