Hi Guys, I got my M1 license about a year ago after taking the motorcycle safety course. While shopping for my first bike, I've come across three Suzukis: 2003 GSF 600 S Bandit $1995, 2004 GS 500 F $2395, and 2001 SV 650 S $3299. The three bikes seem to be in comparable shape and have...

I have a Suzuki gsx 400 f from 1981 that have some trouble with the fuse. And as there is only one fuse on her, it can be pretty hard to know what part of the wiring is the fault. If i press the starter with no lights, it "breaks" the fuse. I can give it a running start, without breaking the...

Just purchased my first cruiser, a v-star 1100 classic. Haven't ridden in a while but excited to get back in the saddle. I am from Syracuse, Utah and enjoying the scenery. Decided to join this community because of the great answers I was able to find to some of my questions.

Hi - I just got my MSF course done and looking to buy a C50. I am not sure if I should go to the dealer or look at craigslist for my first bike in US. I have riding experience in India!

Hi folks! I suppose I'm really a returnee as I had a kawasaki 90cc trail bike back in the misty past (1970-72). Unfortunately I've forgotten just about everything useful from those days! I don't have my motorcycle license yet but am signed up for the Motorcycle Safety Course at my local...
