Ive gone up that hill on 10 many times with relative ease on my 125R (Im 5,9" and 160lbs). Sure I'm not flying past everyone, but a steady speed of about 90-95km/h is more than doable. So I'm sure a 250 would have no problems going up that.

I use earbuds at times when Im commuting to and from work, or riding alone on more highway/ less exciting type riding. I use an App on my phone that adjusts the volume to my speed with GPS, it works pretty well. However I think I need better earbuds since it can be tricky at times when sliding...

As mentioned by others, it's legal. However one thing I have noticed more and more is motorcyclists using Bicycle lanes. As a bicyclist, this pisses me off.

Dont forget; "Loud pipes save lives". So get out a Sawzall and lop off your muffler. But really, riding right of centre can tempt people to squeeze past like you're a bicycle.

From my experience with similar types of armour for Down hill. The first type with all the velcro straps can be abit of a hassle to put on, and the straps can chafe the skin with sweat and dirt. If you wear a short sleeve shirt overtop you can also get a funky tan. The second type usually goes...

Some may think its over kill, but I really feel that E-Bike riders should be required to wear DOT approved helmets.

I installed some knockoff levers on my bike this weekend. They werent meant for my bike so i anticipated some work on them. The clutch lever fit in perfect no sweat. The brke lever however was troublesome. I got it milled down roughly 1/4" (they were meant for a ZX9 and ive got a 125R) then i...

This is one thing I find kind of cheapens some shows, particularly the Auto Show. I understand they have got to fill space and make money to pay for the venue, but at least try to keep it more related to the theme of the event and not try to sell soaps, moisturizers, tanning creams, and the...

I'd say go new. I bought an '07 125R last season and I do love it, Its a fun bike and I plan to hold on to it for another season and probably more, I also prefer it's styling over the newer model. However now that a brand new one is 2,300$, and most used sellers seem to be asking 1800-2100$, for...

I was checking out that bike at the show. And I must say I really liked it, enough to seriously consider it being my next bike at some point. Though personally I would prefer it to be fuel injected.

We're halfway there. Living on a prayer.
