I got gas in the face from Harley gas tank, do these tanks have a overflow line?
if u want to get a harley, its all about the benjamins.how much u can afford. personally, i think harley's ride the best.if u want to go cheap, i'd recommend a 1200 sportster. they'd have plenty of juice to keep up with high-speed interstate traffic, lightweight and nimble in the twisties, and forgiving enough it wont put u down on a small mistake. if u outfit them right, they do make a cheap and decent mini-tourer. all that's needed is the following: detachable wind sheild. that's a gotta have. 95% of the wind blast will go over ur head and will make a long ride less tiring.
sundowner seat: MANDITORY. stock seats from hd sucks on a sportster. with the sundowner, i can easily cruise 400 miles in a day stopping only for gas and eats.
if u dont ride 2-up, u could get a large sized rally pack. this straps onto the passenger pillion and sissy bar pad and also straps to the turn signals. this 1 pack has enough room to take what would go into both saddle bags..and this pack is much cheaper than saddle bags. i got 1 for 65 bucks.
Does anyone know how much a 1979 Yamaha TT 500 motorcycle is worth?
if u have the money, u could forego the sportster and get the heritage soft tail. this 1 will have the saddle bags, sissy bar, and wind sheild already added as stock. but i do recommend dumping the stock seat and replace it with a sundowner; the best seat hd makes.
What is the best brand of canned spray primer and paint to use for painting motorcycle forks?
i will tell u that the heritage might be a better choice only because of the low center of gravity makes it extremely easy to handle at extra slow speeds. sportsters do feel a bit top heavy and squirrelly. the added weight of the heritage will also smooth out the road bumps alot better than the sportster, but the sporty takes em ok.
Does anyone know where to get accessories for a 2007 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom?
if the bike is water cooled, 750cc would be my minumum for a cruiser. air cooled, no less than 1200cc's.
Any 600 or 750, but 600 is better for begginers. Good luck!
Where can i get a manual for a suzuki bandit?
I just started riding on monday. First time ever. I heard that I should get a bike before the Rider Safety Course so I could practice at home. I am glad I did. I purchased a suzuki GS500F. I 5'9" and 150lbs. I feel extremely comfortable and am not afraid of its power. I know the bike has a lot more power to give...but since the breakin of the engine says not to go above 5000rpms there really isnt a ton of power in that range. I feel confident that my purchase will provide a lot of riding fun for at least a few years until i want a bigger bike. It has a very comfortable riding position, easy to find nuetral, and great gas mileage. If I were you I would go with something in the 500cc range. I have also heard the suzuki sv650 is a nice starter bike. But ill stick with my GS500F. Whatever you do, you will love riding. I am addicted and its the first thing I do when I get home from work.I have a 1981 honda cb750c motorcycle and need to know what the best oil would be?
Harley only. All others suckCan anybody help me with my motorcycle?
There are several things to consider, 1, how much you weigh and how tall are you? Next what are you mainly going to use this motorcycle for, to commute to work, or on or off road use? But for any beginner I suggest either a local community college or local motorcycle dealer that offers a motorcycle training course, usually they furnish the bike then you can pick what bike would most fit your needs.2006 honda rancher acting weird.PLEASE HELP?
If your goal is to ride a Harley, you want to get a bike that closely resembles a Harley. I would recommend a reliable cruiser like the Honda Shadow. The average-sized woman should start off with a bike in the 250-300cc range, and the average guy should start off with a bike in the 500-600cc range. I started off on a 650, but I'm 6'4" and weigh 205, so that should give you some idea of where you should go.Take a riding course first. Then start out cheap. It is ALMOST inevitable that damage will occur, so if you were going to start riding this spring, take a course, then just find a cheap cycle to start out on. Not too big of one, maybe 400-500cc cheap Asian bike, less than a $1000.
Is it absolutly necessary 2 have an insurance policy 2 ride a bike in india??
Go pick out whatever Harley you like and ride it.I don't think buying a small bike and going through a bunch of steps to ride what you want is the answer.They are all very simple to ride and the bigger they are, the easier they are to ride.Have fun and be careful.Is it true cause someone told me that at 16 you can olny get under 250cc sport bike in Illinois?
Take the MSF class in your area. It will teach you what you NEED to know to stay alive.I have about 8 grand to spend on a bike any ideas?
If you want a cruiser in the end, consider a 250cc cruiser bike to start off. Get one used, don't worry if it's scuffed up, because you're going to drop it and scuff it up more. Learn on that for a while until it bores you, then sell it and go for the big guns.

Riding a Harley is no fun if it's in the shop and you're in the hospital.
What is the best beginner motorcycle, but yet sporty looking?
Small bikes: Suzuki GZ250 or Honda Rebel 250 are used by most motorcycle training facilities. They're fun if you don't have to commute on the highways.The next step is the 500/600/650 class (my favs are the Suzuki Blvd 40 or Enfield 500).
The downside is if you want to trade up for an HD a year or less after you pick up a small bike, they get pretty devalued quickly.
Starting a cold Honda TRX 400EX in 20 degree weather?
You will likely get many answers to this, all different. But, I would start off relatively small. Perhaps not more than 500cc - 650cc. A Buell Blast is a fun bike to ride (it's what I learned on). The smaller foreign bikes are ok too, but the 250s are a bit small and certainly not ready for the interstate.I still have my first HD, 883 Custom but have added a larger cruiser to the stable. I still love the HD and hope I'm able to keep it for the remainder of my life.
Playboy bunny and easter bunny what the difference?
Whatever you do, get professional instruction through an MSF course available at various schools or the Riders Edge course offered by many HD dealers.
Is a yamaha ttr225 a good offroad bike?
Here in PA they offer free motorcycle safety course and provide motorcycles for the course, They are 250's and most of them are Honda Shadows. These are good training cycles and are not very expensive. However, if this will be your first bike buy used and pay cash, get the experience of riding before moving up to bigger and more expensive bikes. I have had friends who bought big bikes like Goldwings and rode only a few times then selling them at a loss because they weren't ready for a big bike. Nothing wrong with starting small and working up to bigger later on. In fact the smaller bike will normally sell quicker when you are ready to move up, then use the money for your next bike.Motorcycle frame VIN stamping (legal answer please)?

Working on my xs 650, where to start?
any 250-400cc is good..good to start with a single or twin cylinder(lighter weight/easy to handle)a honda 400 twin,suzuki savage 650 single,ninja 250,...etc.practice on some back streets without much traffic...and before you ride,understand all the controls of the bike you own..and if you get the owners manual with it,read it over and over...if you dont have one,try to get it...do all the checks of fluids,tires,lights etc...and take it easy...most cycle fatalities happen within the first year of ownership.and ride like everyone is out to get you...expect cars to pull out in front of you,and cut you off,because they will,and be ready for it,fingers on the clutch and ready to brake just in case...and look all around you all the time...good luck and enjoy!...i will stop riding when they pull the bars from my cold,dead hands!More Questions & Answers ...
