I am looking to replace my 'good ole reliable' Ninja 250R with something that's more long distance-friendly. I am torn between Suzuki's V-Strom and SV650, and the Ninja 650R.

While I am leaning towards the V-Strom because of its ergonomics, I am wondering how these 3 bikes compare since dealers don't give 'test rides'.

I am not really looking for interstate riding, but since I have friends and family around central FL, where I live, I am looking for something that will be comfortable for the 50-100 mile ride range, which is something that I can't do comfortably on my Ninja 250R.

So in sum, I want a sporty-looking bike that can do both short and long trips comfortably, either by going solo, or with a passenger. How do these 3 bikes compare? Which one will satisfy my needs? Thank you!

I have a 1999 Chevy Blazer. Right now, it's in 2hi. I put the car into park, and push the button for 4hi, but the light just keeps blinking. How do I change to 4hi correctly?

Ok, so my car was having troubles starting on hills. And eventually wouldn't start, so i replaced the fuel filter.

Then a week later, the car wouldn't start again, it was water in the fuel lines, fixed that.

Now, it still has a hell of a time starting on hills.....is my fuel pump going?

If so, should i replace it with a new one or use, and how hard is it to replace?

I'm personally sick of seeing people driving without all their focus and attention behind the wheel. I have seen way too many people have accidents and be the cause of the accident because they were talking on a cell. or texting.

What do you think?

Just curious to find out "how dangerous" riding a motorcycle is and what other things you can compare it to in terms of danger. Skydiving? Ocean Swimming? Russian Roulette?

I brought my minivan in to have 1-year old, top-of-the-line Yokohama tires balanced as I'd noticed a slight wobble. When they went to balance, they realized the problem was that the tires (2 of them, anyway) were splitting very badly around the bead where they connect to the rims - definitely faulty. They put on the one new tire they had in stock in my size, then replaced the other defective tire with my small spare (one of those 'doughnuts') and then told me it'd be 3 days before my new tires show up. I explained I have a 30 mile commute EACH WAY every day, so that I'd be putting 180 miles at least on the spare, but they didn't seem concerned.

Should I be worried about driving that far on this small spare?

As inline 6's go, the m50 engine in my 325 feels a little underpowered. I want a turbo kit and have a few thousand to spare on one. First off, I need to know where I can get one, and I also need to know how much it might cost. I have a feeling it might need to be a custom job nightmare. Please help

I just leased a new F-150 and the engine can take the cheaper E85 (ethanol) fuel. I was wondering if anyone has tried it before? Is it worth using and does it really save you money? Ive heard it can tear up your engine?

I just bought a 2006 Pontiac G6 V6 a4 months ago. After about 2 months something happened. It says "engine power reduced" where my raido is and all of a sudden, while I'm driving, my car starts slowing down. I can be goin 65 on the highway and it will reduce to like 40mph! and if I am goin up a hill, sometimes I can't make it. I have to pull over and cut my car off and wait a while. One NIGHT I had to pull over 5 times before i got home. I've taken it to the shop 4 times (3 diff.places) and spent a lot of money. I just got it out today and it's doing it again. Someone may hit me from behind one day. Can someone help me???

I have checked all the fuses and they are all good except for the cigarette lighter fuse which blows every fuse I put in even if it is a higher amperage. The book shows nothing about the dash lights fuse. Can someone help me. Thanks in advance.

I have liability insurance only. My insurance has a high pay out for people who are injured and etc. I think it's around $250 k. I am lending my car to my boyfriend who has his car in the shop. If he would happen to get into an accident (god forbid), how would the insurance work? Do you think my insurance would cover the damaged vehicle and the injured people even though I wasn't driving it?
