I need to get new tyres on the FZ1 (Gen 2). The rear tyre that is currently on it are 185. The spec in the user manual states 190, would I be better going back to the 190 or stick to the same that’s on it?

Not sure is this the right section but here goes my frame number and engine number for my bike suggest it was manufactured in 1989 – feb 1990 but is registered as a 1992 i know this isnt a huge deal but i would like the 89-90 plate because it would bring the bike closer to the 30 year old mark. Has anyone here had similar issue and is it more hassle than its worth trying to get the 2-3 years onto its age

Howdy, Off the bikes about 3 years and considering going back on for work commute. Currently using 1.8 petrol car so feeling the pinch and with tolls on top of about 70/80 a month bike looking like better option. Have to consider the costs as I have to keep car to pick up and drop young kids. I’m thinking 600 sports as always used sports bikes. Roughly what is a tank of petrol cost and how many miles are you getting from it for any of the 600’s out there cbr, r6, gsxr etc. I know obviously depends how hard you drive it but commute less than 20k one way, no motorway all city driving heavy traffic. Anyone commuting on 600 are you servicing/replacing tyres every few months? thanks all opinions welcome cheers :thumbsup2:

Hi lads.battery died.were do i get a good quality one in dublin.thanks

Was up in Cotters Saturday morning gone getting a new tyres the bike and Simon was showing me a load of rst gear he bought off some shop down in Kilkenny, some decent kit he was selling dirt cheap, was a jacket for €120 said if he got €60 for it he would be happy!

Anyways I told him I had just bought all new gear from bikeworld but is worth a trip if anyone is looking for cheap gear or an extra jacket or trouser etc, he has a few boxes of the stuff there!, gloves, tax disc holders, odd bits & bobs :thumbsup2:

This knob cop tries to crush a biker he’s pursuing, then realises a civilian is recording it and tries to flee the scene.

The biker most likely did something to earn a chase, but nothing deserves a reaction like this. Dunno why he didn’t drop a gear sooner though!
