    1990 Yamaha FZR600

    Upgraded to a newer bike. Looking to make some room in the garage. Awesome bike. Treated me very well. Completely rebuilt carbs with Dynojet stage1. New plugs, petcock. Perfect for starting out without worrying about outgrowing it. Forgiving enough for newbies, but fast enough to keep even...

    Is the Linc in Hamilton a M-1 no-no?

    word to the wise, sections of Mohawk/Meadow lands is ripped to hell lately. Rough/groved concrete etc. Rideable, just know its there before you come up on it at night or something similar.

    Any Thruxton Owners?

    I tried sturgess. They havent got any in stock. Dont expect any till mid october. He recommended going to Whitby. Apparently supply is very low on this bike. Ive done lots of reading, comparing, etc. Just want to actually try one on for size. See how I fit, etc. This isnt something you can do...

    Any Thruxton Owners?

    I guess reading is > you. Like I said, more then willing to do it. Just zero free time to take a half day to go 'look' at motorcycles. Id rather see one sooner then later, and much rather talk to an owner who ACTUALLY drives it and ISNT trying to sell it to me for profit. Looking for some...

    Any Thruxton Owners?

    2 jobs, 2 kids (under 4) , and 4 hour (at best) round trip.. YOU try to schedule that in ;-) I have every intetion of doing it. However meeting someone local is ALOT easier to fit in, and should settle my desire quickly. Waiting to find a day to make the trip up seems to be getting put off for...

    Any Thruxton Owners?

    Any Thruxton Owners?

    Gp is nearly 2 hours away. Toronto is 1.5 at least depending on where. Local meetup would be ideal. Also would be nice to speak to an owner instead of sales man looking for commission

    Any Thruxton Owners?

    Im really interested in a thruxton, and as everyone knows, they are impossible to find. I was hoping someone had one that I could sit on. There are a bunch for sale in the USA, and I have no problems going down to buy it, but I dont want to do all that work to go south just to find out, i dont...

    Cliff notes - old bike, recently rebuilt carbs, idles well but gets rich and stumbles when attempting to ride. Longer version: 1990 Yamaha FZR600 w/56K on it. Bike was driven daily until 4-5 years ago by a good friend. He parked it when he bought newer bike. Bike had dynojet stage1 carbs, k&n...

    Unsaftied vs Safetied: Use buying

    i would say its about 50/50 on the used market whether or not it is safetied. At least in my experience. Personally, when buying used, id either have my own mechanic come look at it and buy it as - is, OR have the seller safety it at a location of my choosing that is convenient to the...

    Any former FZR600 riders here?

    one of my good friends has a speedtriple. Awesome bike. And the street actually on the list i originally posted :-) Love it. Love the sound, performance, and the size of the street makes it more suited to me (also about 5'10-11 or so). But for the price point, i am drawn to the thruxton more so...
