Motorcycles - July 2007

It felt fine to me at the store and I did tons of research on it. But when I rode it i didnt like the way it rode or felt on the road. I figured I'd get used to it, but I can't do it. What can I do? I've had it 3 days and have tried to like it. I had a 250 and upgraded to a 650. help!!

I hate the thought of my motorcycle helmets ending up in a landfill and adding to the global garbage problem. Is there an eco-friendly way to dispose of aging motorcycle helmets?

Seems logical, doesn't it? Honda started out as a motorcycle company and made a very successful transition into the auto market. Even suzuki makes cars. You'd think a huge company like Harley could easily transition into the market. I think a Harley car with loud pipes would sell like hot cakes. I mean, who doesn't like Harleys?

I own a 2006 yamaha R1 Superbike. I have a truck but my wife uses the truck more than I do. Sometimes I have to carry some heavy things to work on the bike that are large size like big bags of hiking gear and such equipment. I have seen some cheap luggage racks out there that look like they would barely hold some grocieries. I need something hardcore. I imagine something like the Army Rangers use on their dirt bikes but I cant find anything like that. Please help. Thanks.

Ok... firs time - was taking a left corner, ended up in the left side of the left lane right next to devider. hit the oil spot, and got my rear tire skid from under me. hit the curb with front tire, rear tire, layed it down on the left side on 40mph.
Second time - was making a right fast turn, sum guy pulled out right in front of me in a road cage... had to lay it down and roll... same left side.

Is it my bad luck, or whats up with me? any suggestions what should i do? I cant stop riding, im already too addicted.
:(

need a little advice... seems everyone i talk to tells a diffrent story. i'm looking for a dirt bike. i will be using it to play arround in forestry, dunes, trails etc. i'm not looking to race, but it'd be nice to gas it and hit a jump. i'm only looking to spend about $1500.00 as this is my first bike and i'd hate to lay down a $5k machine. i'm looking at the 250's. i am undecided as to 2 vs 4 stroke and model. it seems hard to find a 4 stroke in my price range. i dont mind maintenence but i don't want to have to deal with adjustments while i'm on the trail. i just want a good bike i can play with... one that wont make me wish i had bought a diffrent or better one right away. weight range of the rider will be 160 lbs. the hardest part of selecting is that i have only ridden about 1 hour on a bike so i cannot got out test driving bikes as i wouldnt know what to look for.any non bias input would be great!

When going on a casual cruise - not when you're trying to gun it. Also, what kind of bike do you have?

Me: '78 Honda CB750K, 1st to 2nd - around 5k rpms and then between 5 and 5.5k rpms for every gear after that.

Bought an old, strong running '78 CB750K with only one real problem: sometimes the gear shift lever sticks in 2nd, making it difficult to kick it down and downshift to 1st; upshifting is no problem. Usually tapping at it repeatedly a few times will snap it into gear, but it's a very rough shift when that happens; it's usually followed with a loud clunking sound made from the gear engaging. Getting into neutral is also a pain at times - my guess is it's the same problem. I'm going to check on the clutch cable and make sure that it's properly engaging/disengaging. But what else could it be? What should I check and in what order?

Hi everyone. I am looking for handguards, deflectors, and mounts (possibly as a bundle) for my CRF250X. I don't want anything too expensive, just something to offer a bit more protection. I would like to get the handguards with a metal frame. The cheapest I have been able to find all of these items for online was about $75. Is this a good deal, or has anyone purchased these items elsewhere for a lower price? I would appreciate any input you can offer. Thanks in advance!!!!!!!

I just got my license and I'm looking to buy my very first motorcycle. I had mixed advice on purchasing a new/used motorcycle, buying an expensive bike vs. a cheaper one, or one that has more power vs. easy to ride. I'm looking for a sports bike. Can any experienced motorcyclist help me out. I'm also 5'07 so making sure my feet can touch the floor is no problem.

Please help :)
