Just watch the recent speed limit changes on the a449..its a dual carriageway but 40 or 60 limits in places
I haven't seen a camera van on those bits yet but a bike meet is tempting for these income generated things..they work weekends as well and the van is near the four ashes at least once a month

I will be going to both

I have a f4, it is a stunning bike, but can't ride them in town , a complete horror, you must get out the road and be doing at least 60+ to take the weight off your wrists , once going faster the handling is superb and the noise from the 4 exhausts is pure music, you go up and down gears just to he...

I like that...I would stick some 18" apes on it..single seat...slash the pipes..not my bike though

The bikes don't always fit the stereotype rider
I had a Blade, R1 and a 72 ironhead bobber at the same time.....liked them all

Thanks for the replies I know internet diagnosis is at best difficult:) It is a very much on/off problem..everything else carb wise seems fine..i have checked the tap and fuel lines and best as I can they seem ok...cleaned the carbs 18 months ago and used it regularly since Johny b..thats a good pla...

Hows things Sean,a little bird tells me you are a 13 owner now!

Things are good....bought ade's 1300....been after one for a while
fuel starvation was my initial thought...just runs so well other wise )

Its an original tap but seems ok...any ideas why it would only do it when really winding it on..i ask because they were ok back in the day ...I do appreciate it is nearly 40 years old..fuel tap has gone a bit stiffer but just thought that was normal wear and tear I would be ok with a pingle tap Than...

My 900 has just started cutting out momentarily when accelerating.It only happens when I give it a big handful and when its ridden more sensibly it has no problems It kicks back in straight away when I ease off the throttle.It ticks over fine and seems to be charging ok.I can ride round the problem ...

If you want a v twin cruiser then I would go Harley rather than Jap every time I have had a couple and the modern one..a street bob had no issues at all I sold it 18 months later for the same as I paid for it so resale is good I found the Harley dealer really good for test rides as well..i rode most...

nice bike mate...the 1300's are fetching strong money for sure now

Nice

It's younger brother, but with a better looking motor.

I get that but i like those 1300's as well..tank shape etc and you get a 6 cylinder engine

More than a hint of a z1300 ??
Nice

I like them and have them on my zeds and a TL1000 that is very battery "sensitive"
Better than the others for me but I don't put mine on optimate's or similar as that seems to make them weaker and dependant on the trickle charge
Not sure why that is but just my experience

Some nice bikes there
That's the first re5 I have seen on the road in a long time

I'm not convinced that frame is strong enough for the engine especially at the front
It seems to be bolted in with just a rear engine bolt
Waste of great engine
