Am I a tight git or are they a little expensive, I would love to do one but they cost so much. I am not interested in the "valuable Learn how to handle a bike properly with an instructor" - I just want to rag it round a track with a soothe surface without worrying about cameras or any other stuff to expect on a normal road. Which sounds like the Nuremburgring but It might rain between here and there and I will have to go home. 

  I've been looking for short rear indicators to replace the originals because my throwovers sit on them and bend them down. Looking on Ebay, it seems like the front indicators fit on the rear too and are obviously that bit shorter. So has anyone on the forum done this? I don't want to go with mini LEDs and thought these would keep the standard look if they fit properly. Thanks

im taking the FZ1 on this tomorrow picked up a place in novice for a ton.


Anyone else here on the trackday.

Anyone going , been ?    A must for all two stroke fans....

I have a Fazer 600 Year 2001 and have already carried out the headlight mod and upgraded to Osram bulbs.


After investigating the various improvement options I see that HID projectors would be the ultimate upgrade but can find little detail on how successful these may be and how difficult it would be to wire them in. The Retrofitlab kit video is comprehensive but doesn't seem to cover the wiring, plus its quite costly. Has anyone fitted just a single H1 projector HID to the nearside only and retained the standard H4 main beam and can give me any advice? Or does anyone have a link or details to the best way to wire the lights up?


Would appreciate any input.
Thanks in advance

After 8 years of FZ1s ownership (and FZS600 before that) I decided that it was time for a change. The FZ1 has taken me all over Europe and has been a brilliant bike, which is why I have hung on to it so long, but I took a test ride on an MT-09 and was hooked!
The MT is a revelation to ride, enough power, light and handling is in a different league. Definitely puts a smile on my face.

Been with Talktalk for a while now as it was FREE for the first year! Lately though my speed seems to be decreasing and a test yesterday showed 2.6mb download and 0.6 mb upload ??

Wasted half an hour on the phone to their technical department, Indian branch. He tried to fob me off with blaming my laptop, then blamed the router but expected me to pay for a replacement which was supplied as part of the contract.

I have tried rebooting and positioning the router closer to my laptop with no improvement.

Should I expect better speeds? I seem to remember they advertised "Up to 17mbps" when they sold it to me.

I am going up with a group of locals that i have not rode with before, two night's b and b, lots of beer, 
Anyone else going or been ?

walking the dog and saw one in traffic, smitten even though it was a fleeting glimpse

so who's got one and what's the pro's and cons before I head off to the dealers :lol
