I bought a Dainese 200 Classic Jacket size 56 from a local dealership about 2 weeks ago to match my RC51. I LOVE the jacket it looks very nice and the quality is excellent but I just sold my RC51 and it does not match my current bike. The jacket is silver and red(has armor in the shoulder and...

I'm selling my blue/white/black Alpinestars TLD-1 motorcycle jacket - if any of you are interested e-mail me. It matches the blue/silver busa perfectly! You can find a picture of it and information on it at the link(s) below...

Yeah yeah I talked a lot of crap about the 12r in the past. Well now I'm forced to take most of that stuff back. A good friend of mine bought a red 12r and I was riding with him last night on my Busa (trading my Busa in next week for RC51). We also switched bikes for a little while. First of...

I get my RC51 next week. I can't wait. You may not even need HRC parts to make the RC51 run with some of the new inline fours. The RC51 was dynoed at 124hp..Akrapovic said their full system will add 7hp thats 131hp. Now calculate in ramair from which is one of the most effective ramair...

I'm getting rid of my Busa for another bike. I plan on doing a lot of track riding this summer and I want a bike better suited for the track and curvy roads. So after a lot of phone calls I managed to find a RC51 with no deposit and I'm getting it! I'm either going to trade in the Busa or...

Something similiar but worse happened to some guy in the new Starboy's FTP video. I lot of guys wreck doing stoppies and wheelies. If you really want to learn to do them buy a cheap used bike like a used Bandit-1200 or something and find a nice abandoned road-put on your safety gear and...

Hey, guys I hope you realize that same thing has already happened to Kawi before. The same exact thing happened to Kawi with the 9r when the R1 came out!! The 9r being made to go after the 900rr when all of a sudden a badass R1 appeared on the scene. It sucks being Kawi lately don't it!!!

Actually the problem probably is the clutch slipping. Has anyone else experienced this? Also what exactly should I do to fix this problem?

I haven't done any mods to the clutch yet.

Today the weather was fairly nice to I took my Busa out for a nice ride. Then I met up with a few friends and started doing some 1rst gear power wheelies..after doing a few wheelies I noticed when I got hard on the gas in 1rst I heard a noise coming from the back of the bike and it wasn't...

WRONGLANE, where have you been these last few months? Are you a bear that's just now waking up from hibernating all winter and just walked out of his cave? First of all the smaller motor 12 will not SMOKE any Busa..and that's a FACT. Oh the 12R is lighter you say?? A whopping 11lbs lighter...

Wronglane, are you really THAT caught up in the hype that you still cannot see the facts?? I mean damn Kawi couldn't get the 12R to beat the Busa themself and you still think somehow the 12R will be faster. Months ago there was nothing but hype to go on - now we have a few top speed runs by...

KAWASAKI'S ZX-12R has disappointed in initial speed tests around the world. Even the firm's own official test in the UK failed to top the speed MCN has clocked on a Suzuki Hayabusa.But Kawasaki is still claiming the bike is faster than a Hayabusa and says that will be proved when they are tested...

Sherm, but the point is that the 12R was not supposed to be that close to the Busa...Kawi stated it would be faster and they said it in such a way to lead everyone to believe that it would be a lot faster than the Busa. Ok so the bikes are so close in performance that it'll come down to the...

I just have to say anyone still getting a 12R must be one hell of a loyal Kawi fan....So loyal it borders on the edge of stupidity. Here we have a bike (12R) that Kawi said would be the fastest bike in the world...hands down. It was said the ZX-12R would never hit the streets unless it was in...
