Never had a cruiser.... Looking at one of these hopefully in next few days.
Aside from the very obvious, what are the walk away issues, what do I need be wary of? And basically are they any good?
Many thanks Mike

folks i have original slingshot m/s exhaust, i have 3 no link pipe gaskets and dont fancy ordering another, would wire wool be enough to do the job as the clamp will be right at it, dont want to use cement gasket either, the other 3 are like wire wool packed in to a shaped pipe sleeve ? thoughts ?

» Kennedy moves back to Supersport for 2021 season |
|
Dec 02, 2020 - 9:00 AM - by Admin
|
Double Quattro British Supersport Champion Jack Kennedy will return to the middleweight class in 2021 after signing with the DB Racing Kawasaki team.
Kennedy spent last season struggling on problematic Yamaha R1 in the blue riband class but has opted to go for a third Supersport title next season.
“I’m back to fight for title number three in British Supersport but this time with a different team and manufacturer so I’m looking forward to the new era ahead,” said Kennedy.
“I’ve had success with nearly every other manufacturer in British Supersport so the challenge now is to do the same and put an... [Read More]

Jumped on this last week on eBay. Had been eyeing up Hypermotards and had a few runs on a 950SP but they don't quite do the job that these do. They are getting rare now with low miles so took the plunge. Not selling this one as I always regretted getting rid of the last.
4k Miles and it was stored in a heated garage for 8 years. The tyres are the originals from Nov 2009!

Was watching the reviews of the new Ducati MS V4 last night and nearly fell off the couch when I saw the price. Ducati aren't alone here, to be fair, but it got me thinking.
Is there a correlation between the increasing average age of bikers and the cost of new machinery
I know you can go on done deal and pick up a clean bandit 1200 for 3k and you are in the game, but someone had to buy that bandit new. With the VRT rules and brexit, UK imports will become less and less on the roads here

» Hankering for a Hypermotard. |
|
Nov 30, 2020 - 6:45 PM - by RobbieBeGood

"I'll never buy another Ducati." My own words at the time but like many former resolutions, my resolve has waned yet again!
Rose coloured glasses or maybe some repressed masochistic instinct has me once again trawling the virtual waters of donedeal with the 'D' word firmly inserted in the search bar.
It's the Hypermotard this time catching my fickle eye, preloved of course and either of these two siblings the 796 or 821 so as not to play favourites.
Would you with experience of either try talk me out of one or into the other? Or am I destined to play it safe again with a low mileage CB1000r?

» Roadtec Z6 reviews? |
|
Nov 30, 2020 - 12:31 PM - by Technician
|
See some great deals around at the moment on the Metzler Roadtec Z6 sports touring tyre. Don't know much about it other than it has been superseded in the Metzler lineup, but that doesn't say much I know.
It would be for a heavy bus and something that will likely never see any limits anywhere.

» Chrome plating? |
|
Nov 25, 2020 - 11:24 PM - by dt125x-supermoto
|
Anyone here doing chrome plating or is it something I'd have to send to the UK to get sorted properly?
Have some chrome pieces coming that are new but I've been warned the plating is thin so it has no warranty for corrosion. As they are made by a company in the middle east
Not sure of clear coating it will make it last any longer as I have no experience working with it but at literally 10% of the cost of a genuine piece £65 vs €730 i said i'd give it a go.

» Project bike with no book |
|
Nov 25, 2020 - 10:26 PM - by jic44
|
I am looking at buying a project bike from a known to me seller but it has no book and is not in his name (Given to him by an elderly now deceased relative).
Is there much hassle to getting a book for such a machine with no proof of ownership and what is the procedure?
I have the reg and frame and engine numbers.
There are loads of ads on donedeal etc with no book but can be easily got which I have never considered even looking at based on the thinking that if its easy got, wouldnt the seller just get it before advertising the bike.
I know this bike to be legit but not going to bother if its hassle to get a book.

» Honda 900f build |

Nov 25, 2020 - 2:04 PM - by Pumbaa the warthog

Here we go, it's going to be slow progress but I don't care, I got a 1980 cb900f frame with the intention of building something like the original but with some upgrades and tweaks, it's very early stages as the pictures show but I will post more as I go, ( for anyone that's interested ).
Some plans are beefier forks, ( not usd ), different wheels, bigger engine, standard tank, panels and tail, after that I'm undecided, but some of those ideas can change too, anyway here goes.

Lads, has anyone recently taken they're test, apparently you have to bring your own earpiece , the rsa website shows an earpiece and it says it must have a 3.5 mono plug but the picture of it looks to me like a stereo plug, any one know who sells these ?

» VRT post brexit. |
|
Nov 21, 2020 - 4:00 AM - by 2shea
|
Looks like it's going to be a pain and more expensive to import a bike post Brexit 1st jan 2021.
Taken from the Revenue website:
VRT implications of importing cars from the UK
After the transition period, if you import a vehicle from the UK, this may be treated as an import from a non-European Union (EU) country.
Used vehicles
Vehicles brought into the State from the UK before 1 January 2021 can be registered as normal. Customers must provide documentation to prove that the vehicle was acquired prior to 1 January 2021.
For vehicles registered after 31 December 2020, Revenue may require proof that the importation process was tax and duty compliant.

Nov 20, 2020 - 7:47 PM - by 2shea

The fuel gague on the Deauville seems to be acting up. Starts up ok reading correct then drops to empty after a few minutes riding.
Then returns to normal after being resting for a while. Bike has less then 10k miles on the clock.
Any Ideas?

» End of the 600 sportsbike? |
|
Nov 20, 2020 - 11:22 AM - by Dub Duke

Yamaha dropping R6, so what is the likely future of the 600 sportsbike if even Yamaha aren't making a road version anymore?
https://www.motorcyclenews.com/advic...the-yamaha-r6/
Obviously responding to the market, but still sad. 1000 sportsbikes in Ireland are a little excess IMHO (What?! Too much power is never enough). Think it might be an idea to get a run out R6 if I had the cash!
