how safe is a motorbike to ride once the steering lock has been smashed in? my boyfriends Yamaha R6 YZF had the steering lock smashed in last night in an attempt to be stolen (luckily they failed) and i was wondering, for both of our safety, how safe it will be to ride now the lock has been effectively rendered useless? i dont really know much about motorbikes, and i cant find any info on the net to help, so if anyone has any advice or knowledge about this specific problem, please help me! i understand in order to fix the bike, it will be expenive and time consuming, and considering it is his only mode of transport, that will be, for the time being, out of the question. any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks
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.
can a professional polish and touch up help scratches on a chrome motorbike exhaust? looking at buying a yamaha xvs dragstar 125, but the only down side is that there are scratches on the side of the exhaust where it had been dropped by a previous owner? is there anything that can be done, or do i have to accept that its gonna b like that? is it a problem that could get worse with the elements as the metal is now exposed and will rust more...?!
What kind of motorbike should i get being very peite? I have some experience with scooters and motorcycles. The only motorcylce i have used before was my grandpa's bike which i believe is a Yamaha and its quite old since the early 90's. But im very short and i have to wear high boots or very high heels to even hop on it and my feet barely touched the ground. Im about 4'10 and i weigh about 130pds. This would be my first bike buying on my own, so are there any good sites for not too expensive bikes?

Where can I buy a motorbike? Hello folks, Thanks for viewing my question, here it is: Where can I buy a bike? I am looking to replace my beautiful bike that was stolen last year. I want a Yamaha FZR 600 R (Genesis) in original red, white and blue. It must be 1991 or later, be in excellent condition and within 40 miles of West London. I have £1000 to buy this bike. This should be a fairly straightforward deal but all the bikes I've seen so far have had something wrong with them or have been too expensive or too far away. Ebay is out of the question - I'm not dragging myself all over the country to view bikes just to be outbid. And please don't point me to generic sales websites like biketrader or loot unless it's a link to a specific bike. Any help would be VERY gratefully received. Cheers KaiBosh
