buying

So Im tire of swaping faring on my mv or my panigale to take to the track and to be honest too much power and their are not cheap to fix. so im looking at the 2015 KTM RC 390. I was also looking at the cbr 500. what you guy think?

So here's the deal. I've always had big bikes ( M109R, B-King, Hayabusa and now a 13' ZX14R ) because I'm 6'2" and they just felt more comfortable. Never really rode any lighter/smaller bikes other than my brothers GSXR600 which was way to underpowered for my taste at the time. However, I...

This going to be partly my thoughts on the bike and partly advice. First off, I am partly biased because I love this bike. The sum of the parts equals something that is so much greater than just the parts. Its hard to put words to. It may not be quite as fast as the S1000RR, or be as nimble...

So I have to ask because I can't find an answer anywhere but if one were to buy a helmet from champion helmets or motardinn or even eBay and have it shipped to the US, how does that work and what are some fees I have read about that may make it just as expensive as buying within the US? Does the...

If you have bein sport it has spectacular coverage. its like a 5 hour program on sunday ALL THE RACES IN EACH CATEGORY they dont show the qualifying though but why pay for something twice. i get the motogp pass and yes fox carries it but it has commercials and i like free practice and...

Interested to know the consensus...Love my bike but costs of parts scares me...

I'm considering buying an 1199 S from a private seller who lives on the East Coast and want to get it shipped to CA and just had a couple questions. Any insights or suggestions are welcome. 1. Any recommendations on companies that ship motorcycles cross country that has a good reputation and...

Hey Guys, Brand new to this forum and happy to be here. I was wondering what a good price, OTD would be for a 2013 1199 S? I'm buying it in Northern California. I went to 4 dealerships and they all wouldn't budge under 26k. Am I getting ripped off? And should I be getting gear/parts...

So if I get a set of Termi slip-on's from my dealership but I install them at home, would that affect/void warranty?? Or does the dealership have to install them to maintain the warranty.

Hey guys, Just wondering what you guys think of this. Found a base 1199 with about 400 miles on it. Gotta get it shipped across Canada if I do decide to buy it. Just wondering what you guys think of the 400 miles, I asked the guy how he broke the bike in, and mentioned that he was told to...

I've been eyeing up a Matte White 796, since I took delivery of my 1199 in April, which my dealer still has in stock. Been offered a healthy discount on the 796, so am considering it. Its gonna be a bit of a tool bike for running/fooling around on and I still like the original design and...

Just as the title says. I have never payed close to MSRP on a car, When buying a 1199, do you pay MSRP or is there room to negotiate on price?

Hi all, I am going to to be in Europe this week and was thinking I might pick up a new jacket as they look to be several hundred dollars cheaper than here in Oz. Will be in Bologna on Friday for Ducati factory and museum visit (can't do factory tour ATM 'cos of the earthquake - pity) but I...
