    Stock vs. Brand Name vs. Custom Exhaust?

    So what's the best material for an exhaust? Stainless steel, titanium or carbon fiber? Will they each sound different? What's the most durable? Lightest?

    Opinion: Do you use your rear brake when emergency braking?

    I was always taught by my instructors to use both the front and rear brakes equally in an emergency stop during in my MSF course this summer.

    Some great points and advice mentioned here. I'll keep all of those in mind when I get in touch with the seller. I'm a bit of a backyard mechanic when it comes to my car but bikes are completely new and foreign to me. In all reality, when I find the right first bike I will probably need a...

    Can't ride to school; too much fun

    Having fun is what riding is all about! If I had I bike I would ride it every single day to school, to work and everywhere else. Gives me something to daydream about and look forward to once the boring part of my day's done. It's like having an iron horse waiting in the wings to whisk you...

    Not yet. I haven't looked at prices of new MV's or Ducati's either. I'm sure they're way up there. I'm a starving student that's still saving up for my first bike. It will be used.

    So called upgrades, Why Bother?

    So far I've researched the following -Kawasaki EX250/ Ninja 250R -Kawasaki EX500/ Ninja 500R I've also looked at the Honda CBR250R, but prices are a bit beyond my budget since the bike is still new and hard to come by used. I eventually want to upgrade to a 600cc SS but realistically it...
