There used to be a stud in our village who back in approx 1985/86 had a brand new Honda NS400 (2stroke triple)...that thing sounded gorgeous and looked amazing at the time. Not many about either. http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery/Honda%20NS400R%20%204.jpg Just been on Youtube and they sound j...

But will that create a greater distance between pegs and seat? I'm not sure?

Lots and lots of great advice..thanks, I'll do my best to keep the VTR and let you know how I get on.

Anyone tried fitting them, I have just been to look at my pegs and there is not much clearance downwards because of the link pipe.

The Tuono is exactly what you need. It's only mental if you want it ti be ;) At least give one a go :) Yeah I know, I really like them but it's getting a shot on one for an hour or two before buying is the tricky thing. What's your location? Scotland (Borders). There is a shop near Edinburgh that h...

After surgery on my left leg a couple of years back I struggled to bend my knee with the staples - I was able by fitting a Kawasaki footpeg to drop the gear change peg by an inch or so, and continue riding. Not sure it would also work on the right (brake) side as the pipe and brake lever doesn't se...

I was under the impression rearsets went back and up for a more aggressive position.

I'll look into that..thanks

What kit are you wearing for riding? It does make a big difference to your comfort. 8O Most comfortable (on knees & ankles) when i wear codura jacket & trousers. 1 piece leathers always most uncomfortable. Put it down to having leathers inside the boots. not able to try them outside. :thumb...

Firstly...I love my Firestorm, it makes me love motorcycling more than ever but unfortunately my knees just can't cope with being bent double for more than an hour and therefore it is with much regret that I am looking to replace the VTR for something more comfortable.

How do you like the 900ss?
It's a bike I would like to get and have been looking at them for a year or two and would like to know how it compares to the VTR. You can pick them up pretty cheap in the UK, £2-3K gets a really good low mileage one.
Fantastic colour.

A couple of years ago, the wife and I took the Boxster to Amsterdam from Newcastle (We live in the Scottish Borders 2hrs away). It sails at about 5pm and gets in about 7am and you can get a wee bunk room. We really enjoyed it as you are sailing when you're asleep and you get to wake up in main land ...

Absolutely mad on bikes since an early age but both parents very much against them. Used to ride my mates Honda Z50 and would have done anything to have a bike but when I was 17 in a rebellious state went and bought a C70. So I was born in 1970 1988 Honda C70 1989 Honda XL125 K2 (got 13points at Uni...
