Buell XB12XT tyres please?

I have a Buell XB12XT and I'm looking for a recommendation on tyres.

Currently have Pirelli strada (came fitted) but feel I'm at there limit, I like fast road riding, wont be doing any track days but will be on the odd  green lane, gravel track when I take the wee lad away camping. Was considering the new ...

Which V twin?

I'm looking for opinions on 2nd hand v twins.  I've got around 4k to play with and at the moment I've been concentrating my thoughts and searches on either Aprilia Tuono or SV 1000.  Anybody views on both or indeed any other v twin experience would be welcome.

France: compulsory reflective stickers on all helmets

following on from the reflective clothing thread...March 16, 2013 Unfortunately, there has been for some time another (stupid) piece of legislation forcing all bikers in France, whether residents or visitors, to wear a helmet with reflective stickers on, and this one has not been scrapped. Bikers caught wearing a helmet without stickers may face a 135 euros fine payable on the spot and 3 points taken off their licence. The police have recently been enforcing this rule quite severely in Paris and other locations throughout France. All helmets must have four reflective stickers: one on the front, one at the ...

zx6r 08 frame sliders

What are the best frame sliders/crash bobbins for an 08 zx6r?I do not want to cut or alter any fairings and want something that won't shear off or cause the bike to dig in and flip if it is sliding.

R6 Clocks

I have just replaced my tired engine on my 5EB R6 and it's a bike reborn. But I have lost my digital trips, they still display when the ignition is on, but reset to a zero value when it's switched off and then on again. Can't set the clock either coz as soon as I switch it off I lose the clock setting too. Any ideas anyone? Have I left a battery feed off or something like that? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Need advice after being hit by a car!

Hi everyone, Last week I was ploughed into from my left hand side on a small street by a guy coming out of the pub car park who didn't bother looking in the direction he was driving as he 'was turning right and had to keep an eye on oncoming traffic'.
