Chairman Mao I can't understand why the reluctance to offer rides especially by a big company like Honda. As said when I was looking to buy a big bike Triumph offered me any bike they had for sale here. I tried them all. I eventually settled on the Rocket 3 which is by far the best bike I have ever owned or ridden.

I am falling in love with the new Z1000





I'm actually (if all goes to plan) picking up a Gixxer 1000 in early November. I'm very very very tempted to change my mind!

Nice but in my opinion it doesn't stand up next to the old Z900 which was pure beauty. The dawn of the Superbike. The days of the Laverda Jota, the Honda CBX, the Benelli Sei It was when bikes started to get sexy

Honda's bike 'mechanics' can barely manage to service a 125 Wave, so I dread what will happen when they get their hands of a motorbike.

I've heard fairly decent reports with regard to servicing the Kwaka 650s in Udon.
