Re: Tyres
My tire of choice is a Metzeler RoadTec Z6. I used Z4's back in the day and found the Z6's to be a nice improvment.
I went from an r1150r to the K12. I have been nothing but happy with the upgrade. Smooth, super quick, great suspension, great sound and very unique looking bike, which I like with all the cookie cutter bikes out there. Gets plenty of looks to. The gear box is a bit clunky from 1st to 2nd gear and t...

I was just having the license discussion with a friend of mine yesterday. He got pulled over for speeding and had no license, just a C class. It must have been his lucky day, the cop did not want to bother with the impound, so he told him to drive home and get his license. Here in California, its a ...

Re: Passenger comfort information
I have had passengers on both bikes and passenger comfort has been about the same. They seem to have alot more fun on the K12 tho

Yeah, i would keep it in first and get thru the turn and headed straight, then get up to speed. Even better, give yourself more of a gap to be safe. Either way, its good to have steady throttle with slight acceleration rolling out of the turn, improves rear wheel traction. Coasting out of a turn or ...

I have state farm and owned an r1150r before getting my K12r. They did not base my rate on the performance of the k12 but on the CC difference. Since the technical engine size increase is negligable, my price was only about 40 bucks more per year. was paying about 540 per year with full coverage on ...

I read the same article. It was funny because that is about the only bad press I have read on the K12r. Its seemed pretty slanted. They put the honda ahead of the K12 of all things, and why, because It loved to wheelie! Those reviewers were all focused on bikes that wheelie and clearly were not fans...

[quote=Guess what? The 6200 rpm vibration's gone, the engine is smoother throughout the rev-band, snatchy throttle's way better, and digital neutral gear indicator displays "N" now instead of "0".[/quote] It sounds like you had 5.0 and updated to 7. The 0 to N was fixed on 6.0. M...

As 7.0 has been out for awhile, I am just curious as to the feedback. I have been reading a few threads online and it seems like 7.0 is not as good as once thought, at least for some. There has been mention of stalling issues. As it stands, I am very happy with 6.01 and I am sure that 7.01 is not th...

My question to Silverr is this; were you able to stay off the tank and...ah, not damage anything ? On my little panic stops for the odd fool, I've had to fight to stay away from the tank, and I've never seriously tripped the ABS.[/quote] Airman, I was able to stay off the tank for the most part...No...

Whoo Hooo!!!! Silver. I'm glad you stopped in time. I just bought my rockster on Saturday and on the ride home I was shocked at how quick the bike stopped (compared to my old 1991 EX500). I wonder about the time a near accident happens like that, and the driver ends up stopping RIGHT IN FRONT OF YO...

But I was thinking of geting something that had a bit more growl. Ay ideas where I might be able to locate a stock set up? and wh...
