OK, GS/GSA/STen riders, move along. Nothing to see here.... But for the rest, a mate just told me of a storey of an old timer that managed to get 130k km out of a drive chain. My immediate reaction was BS..... My mate rides a V-Strom 650 and his record is 43k km on one chain. So what is your...

My GSA is a 30th Anniversary edition, but I've noticed something funny... The side panels (on the tank, where your knees go) on my bike are black, but on every other 30th Ed bike I've seen, they are silver (or white)... Does anyone know what's going on here???? Or where I can check the VIN on...

Hey Chaps and Chapesses (Laurika), I'm not asking which bike I should buy, I have read it all before, the heart not the head etc etc etc, so I guess this is more of what do YOU think of these... I might be in a  position to acquire a naked street bike as a commuter. The realistic list is...

Spoke to Mike Da Bike about the upcomming Frostbite Run, and he said come have a look at the new K1600GT... So I took myself down to motorrad to see the beast. It's a da BEEEEG bike, make no mistake. And the styling is nice, but not to my taste. Then Mike comes over and cranks the beast up...
