If you need reliable, cheap, and comfortable transportation (or if this is your 1st motorcycle), then keep reading. I purchased this SV650S on May 14th, 2012. For those of you quick with math, you ll realize that was just a bit over 3 months ago. I bought this bike for 1 reason...for a weeklong motorcycle trip with me and a couple of friends. In early August, we threw the bikes in the back of my truck and drove up to a friends house in Kernersville, North Carolina. From there, we unloaded the bikes and embarked on a 2,000 mi round trip...winding through the Blue Ridge Parkway, Skyline Drive, up through Central Pennsylvania and NY, through Niagra Falls, and along Lake Ontario to Canada...and back. The bike performed flawlessly. Before leaving I took it to Jupiter Cycles for a full checkup. A few days (and $700 later), they had changed all the fluids (brake, radiator, oil, and front shock)...adjusted the valves...checked the brakes, cables and charging system and battery...they even changed the spark plugs. DJ gave it a clean bill of health and I did not have 1 single problem with it the entire trip. Like I said, it s a reliable bike. Cheap too. It averaged 48.7mis per gallon the entire trip. And you don t have to put the expensive 93 octane gas in either. It runs just fine on 87. Not only that, it was surprisingly comfortable (even after a few ten hour days in the saddle, I wasn t sore the next day). Now, this isn t a beauty queen. The previous owner dropped it on both sides at low speeds. As you can see from the images, there are scrapes on both sides of the front fairing. I ve seen front fairings on ebay for anywhere from $100-$200. Throw 1 on and this bike will look just like it s never been dropped. Other, than that, there is nothing mechanically or cosmetically wrong with this motorcycle. So...why am I selling it? Well, I was going to rent a bike, but figured it would be cheaper for me to buy 1 and then sell it when

Another Cruiser?

Sun, 09 Nov 2008

In a county gone mad with cruisers, from outrageous T.V. customs to 250cc Honda Rebels, the cruiser is the largest segment of the American motorcycle market. Interesting then, that despite a seeming glut in the cruiser supply, and receding sales figures from major OEMs in the past year, that new cruiser models keep coming.

R&G announce cheaper engine case cover kits

Tue, 06 Sep 2011

R&G Racing has reacted to the rising cost of official motorcycle parts from manufacturers by creating money saving packages on its Engine Case Covers.As a reaction to the parts price rise, the crash protection leader has created a kit package on its Engine Case Covers (ECC) – offering an overall saving of more than 10% when compared to buying the items individually. The ECCs are designed to protect the engine cases and the inner workings of the motor in the event of a drop by acting as a sturdy ‘second skin’.By simply bolting over the original items, fitting the durable Engine Case Covers doesn’t require draining any engine fluids or replacing gaskets. Extensively developed in the ACU R&G Racing Suzuki GSX-R600 Trophy, as well as being tested and approved by the California Superbike School in the UK and USA, the covers can allow a bike to be ridden after a crash or prevent terminal engine damage from oil leaks or casing punctures.Protection benefits aside, financial savings for riders are evident by looking at official parts prices; to replace only the clutch cover on a Suzuki GSX-R1000K7 would cost £206 including a new gasket, but all three R&G Engine Case Covers for this bike cost only £143.

Get down on your knees and play

This remarkable shot of Eddie Lawson is taken by Rich Chenet. It was August 1980 and Lawson was undergoing a titanic scrap for the AMA title with Wes Cooley and Freddie Spencer here at Pocono Raceway in Philladelphia. The circuit is known as the 'Tricky Triangle' amongst the NASCAR drivers but the superbikes used a mix of infield and sections of the banked circuit.
