And heres me going the other way, 3 years ago I had 2 Hondas and 2 Kawasakis. Now I'm up to 3 Yamahas and a Victory, and the Victory is going soon to fund a YPVS, so that'll make 4 Yams.

Heres the rub, my only EXUP'd bike (Fazer 1000) hasn't got an EXUP in it!!!

Cant really comment on the YZF except to say that they a have 6 speed gearbox and probably handle better then the Genesis. I have two Genesis-es (Genesi??) both in the same original White and Red colours (the best colours IMHO). I had one in '98 and did all sorts with it, trackdays (top end of the i...

Unfortunately they are not the same as the EXUP ones. I wish they were, there's loads of em on ebay. But no original FZR 1000 ones. A pair from CMSNL is about "bloody ridiculous pounds, inc P+P", so much that I think that's a bit extortionate for something that almost everyone that has own...

Wanted - Standard bar ends for pre-Exup FZR1000

Has anyone got a pair (or even 2 pairs) of standard FZR1000 pre EXUP (1987/88) bar ends they don't need any more.

Are these a kind of undertrousers? If so Aldi do a very similar thing, ive got two sets and they are very good, nice and warm under jeans, leathers or textiles.

Its been a good few days since I opened one of the best surprises ive ever had, and my first thought on freeing myself from the arms of Morpheus every morning has been, "I've got a brand new pair of genuine fork legs". Its nice to start the day with a happy thought. I know, I know, I shoul...

Yeah those rear seat covers can go for big money, but there are still bargains to be had if you're willing to look hard enough. Luckily I have one for each of my FZR pre EXUPs.

Ive just had a chat with my mate who has used pattern stanchions from Pro Motorcycle salvage near to where I live, he wasn't happy with the finish, more like a matt finish. The problem is that OEM ones are either knackered, prohibitively expensive, or in the USA, with all the hassle and rip off char...

One of the reasons why I want to get on the forum is to track down Simon McCorkindale, the guy who restored the FZR1000 featured in Practical Sportsbikes recently, he mentioned the FZROnline forum in the article so I figure I could have a chance of getting hold of him there. Boy have I got some anal...
