I'm all for history, nostalgia and keeping old things alive and not crushed, but 2plus million, it just doesn't make any sense to me. I've got a buddy who's got a judge rag top now worth a quarter million. Just don't get it! Maybe it's just cause I screwed up when I was a kid and didn't get the 71 r...

I just let myself get raped at the dealer for that one as it's dealer specific, not like the aftermarket would have it available anyways even if they did make it for our machines. It was even a little worse for me as I tried the rebuild kit first which didn't make a damn bit of difference for me. Bi...

I think it's a shame myself as well Willi. Although, a 250 would be outgrown quite quickly by a decent rider. I think "all" manufacturers should resurrect the 400cc class and put rider restrictions on 600cc and up. This would make excellent sense for a number of reasons and could go along ways to po...

I'm thinking you might have missed a little bit of what I was trying to say Tim, nevertheless, just know that I am on your side. As for the whole legal he said/he said bs, I'm steering clear of that one. No comment.

Any chance you're parting it out, I could really use those forks and wheels, JK, sorry, that's my one dink joke for the week.

Always loved the Bimota stuff, very nice indeed.

I would think the 138 measure might have been a stock Rear Wheel number, just a thought?

For those of you who've polled answers like, How does this affect me, or even worse, so What? ARE YOU SERIOUS?????? FFSakes It effects you greatly in several different ways as follows. 1) less support for a machine in any way means less people will ride them. a) less machines on the road means less ...

Hey Jim, Maybe we'll just add the chain break on to my list of machining stuff when we get there. I should pick up Yamacati's 1070 kit here this week. Been waiting on an answer back from Falicon 'bout the crank forever, I think I'll have to get on the phone with them. Just in case you thought I went...

I'd do the progressive springs hands down my friend. I had progressives in my XJ750 and they were beautiful. I had ohlins constant rates in my 92FZR1000 before I sold the front end, nice, but harsh, divine for track use though. Our roads are complete shit though so..... Also to their defence, I hadn...

I thought you were making an actual chain tool? I need one, and don't think I'll be pissing myself off with the Motion Pro. Let me know when and if you're going to make a run of these?

Quite delicious RF9Rider, and rather very close to the paint scheme I've been thinking of my own self. What year R1 front end have you grafted on and how did you compensate for it's relative stubbiness compared to the lengthy YZF forks?
