  1. Triumph street triple R, a few questions

    Hi all, l've had a suzuki gladius for two and a half years, my first bike for 30 years and its been ideal as a learners bike and much better than that as well. I've done a lot of touring on it and found it very comfortable. I am thinking about a new bike and l think the street triple R ticks most of the boxes, better componentry, a bit quicker and just a bit different. One thing that concerns me is how far you can go on a tank of gas, the gladius can get about 350 k's but that is at the speed limit ...

  7. Should have kept my Kawasaki

    Ok, so I have a Hyosung 250 '07 (carby). Riding to university the last few times (once on the motorway), the engine just stops. Nothing. Tach reads zero, speedo reading 20, 60, 90 kph each time it died. No problem, just push the starter and off we go down the road again.

The other day I took it off, cleaned ...
  8. GN250 engine swap question

Are all GNs the same in that respect? A mate and I will be doing it ourselves and don't have the necessary tools to customize the frame. Any help on this would be great cheers
