An interesting read. The largest European Honda dealer builds big-bore SOHC 4 cyl endurance racers after the release of the 750-4 in Oct 1968, making this the 50th anniversary in Oct. of what was the archetype of what became known as the Universal Japanese Motorcycle (UJM)...

An interesting view, includes some rare birds like the Honda RC166 GP 350 cc racer, the FGR Midalu 2500 cc bike from the Czech Republic, a Laverda racer of 1000 cc and and the Horex VR-6 1200 cc bike, which has a narrow-angle (15 degrees) configuration like the VW VR-6 engine...

An upside-down, original design streetbike engine, mounted in a one-off (well, two-off) frame, and yours for a reported $300K! Made in Italy, and like nothing you've ever seen as a motorcycle, I'd bet. http://silodrome.com/nembo-motorcycle/

Probably like lots of you, I read lots of internet content looking for things of interest. Like what the guys from "Car Talk" called, "Time Wasters." Well, here's a thread on a British drag bike build, no, not 'built in Great Britain,' but built from English bike parts, heavily-massaged as you...

I have a 50 mile commute to work and ended up taking a new way back that had some hills. With the extra load, I found that the amount of shaking from the bike was not bearable in 5th or 4th gear if the engine was spinning around 4000 rpm and I applied throttle to go faster. When I got home, I...

I think you'll enjoy this read: http://www.vincentstreamliner.com The Magnesium Monster had been running so well that for the first time I was able to wander around the pits looking at other stuff. What really interested me was the double A fuel dragsters running the 392 cubic inch...

I put one of G's COPs kit on my bike never rode another VMAX other than mine but I don't think it's making full power (I don't think it ever did). Smells rich If this is correct orrientation front 1 4 2 3 back I just did a shotgun on the carbs and sync'd. I don't beleive this is a new...

http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-videos/tuned-turbo-gmc-cayon A standard cab Colorado/Canyon earns some respect from an online tester. The new redesign Colorado/Canyon are now in production. The new V-6 replaces the inline-five cyl, and makes more HP than the 355-series previous geneeration...

Anyone remember offhand what Yamahas use our same clutch master reserviors? I'm still looking for a clean stock one and I got one reply. I guees I'll turn to the dark side and peruse Fleabay. I checked for FJR masters this evening. No joy. Anybody?

Well, looks like I may be having to tear into the motor sooner than I wanted. On my way home a couple of days ago, and noticed a loss of power. I thought it was probably carb related, so I rolled on the throttle in fifth just to see if it got better or worse. At about 3/4 throttle I could hear a...

I have the parts to go to a '93+ front end on my '92, & intend to install a set of FZR1000 4 piston calipers I have lying around. I already bought a new '92 master cylinder, but have not yet installed anything. I bought the new '92 master cyl before I read as many of the FJR master cyl posts as...

I removed the guts from both my clutch and brake masters and stuck the parts as they came out to a piece of tape so they wouldn't get mixed up. I just got the new parts, no picture of course Yay! So I go to the manual for procedures and STOP! My order of parts is NOT the same as the manual. So...

i removed and dissassembled my slave cyl. on my 86 to clean it out really well and was wondering if i needed to lube the seals with any type of grease or oil before i put it back together.thanks

Ive used the search tab to no real success with this issue. so i hope maybe someone can shed some light on my problem. last Monday i was on a long ride and washed the bike immediately when i got into town... after the wash i noticed a slight miss and a little lack of power. i figured wet...
