Who wants to buy the best value motorbike in this history of motorbikes? Probably not the right forum, and probably going to get complaints, but hey! Yamaha Diversion 900 for sale. 1995, but garaged from new and still less than 20,000 miles. That's what comes from spending all your bleedin time in Afghanistan and Iraq!! The bike is in good nick, with new tyres and new exhaust. It's been regularly serviced (FSH), and comes complete with a luggage rack and two big Givi panniers. What else? Oh, yes, heated grips, trickle charger for the battery, Datatool alarm and Datatagged. And of course it has a hassle-free shaft drive. I'll even throw in a tankbag for free. I live in Portsmouth/Southampton area of the South coast (UK) and will only be around for a couple more weeks before heading back to Iraq. Main reason for sale is emigration next year to Australia. I'm looking for £1,500, but to be honest am more concerned with seeing the old girl going to a good home. Give us a shout if you're interested.

What kind of 125-150cc sport motorbikes do you know of? I'm starting to get into riding bikes, and I was told that to start I should get something around 125 - 150 cc. It keeps insurance down, and safety UP. i've heard of Yamaha YZF-R15 but I googled it and it seems like its only in India? is that true? or what other types are there? I've looked at some kawasaki or honda bikes but there all 500 cc +.

Question about Streetfighting a Yamaha XJ600s motorbike? I am trying to turn a 1993 XJ 600 s into a street fighter motorbike and i would like to ask two questions. 1) I'd Like to fit an R1 fuel tank as the shape of the tank is very appealing to me and my question is will any yamaha tank be adjustable to any yamaha frame such as the XJ 600 s? if not then what would be the necessary steps to make it fit? 2) i would also like to have a single swing arm fitted on therefore is there any yamaha single swing arm that can be ideal to fit straight onto my frame? I would also like to have a bigger tire on the back and believe that most swing arms come in a standard size 190 tires so if i was to have anything larger than that what would the necessary steps be?!?!?!?

Yamaha FJR-AS on an Automatic Licence? I have an automatics-only bike licence. I've had a Honda Silverwing 600 scooter for three years and want something faster, but don't want the hassle of doing the test all over again with a 'normal' motorbike. Would it be legal for me to ride a Yamaha FJR1300AS? (That's a 1300cc sports-tourer with an electonically controlled clutch). Even if it was, would I find it dangerously powerful and relatively impractical?
