    ODO is reseting after each ride

    Hello everyone, I wanna buy a 2004 RSV 1000, it is in very nice condition but has one problem - after each ride odometer is reseting. I know it is quite common issue, but I never heard about reseting so often (most cases is just when battery is flat or disconnected). Owner said me battery is 5...

    First ride RSV Mille

    I managed to get out for a ride on my Mille today, the first dry weekend since I bought it. First impressions The rear shock is hard, I knew it would be and I am picking up a Maxton unit soon (this week I hope) The front forks are very harsh, maybe worse because I only weigh 75Kg, slight bumps...

    First ride

    Wow, my first ride out and I must say I was not expecting the amount of low down grunt these have, I used to ride a gixxer 6, the mille blows it into space. The brakes are awesome and steering feels really nice and don't get me started on the sound, I wanted to keep her as standard as poss so...

    HWY 33, Ojai ride

    Took the T out for a "spirited" ride today up Hwy 33 near Ojai. May be the last time before I sell her and move on to a newer V4T. There were a couple fast guys in our group (me not being one of them...) but this is as quick as I feel comfortable on a public road. https://youtu.be/hv1p8kQH4ow

    First ride

    After buying the T way back in October last year while I was recovering from a bike related broken collar bone and over winter " upgrading" if that's the right word as I've only changed the side stand to one from a blackbird, and the clutch oil jet mod. Apart from that really all I've done are...

    Look who we ran into on the ride today...

    Stopped for a wee break this morning and no sooner had we got off our bikes when Jay Leno rolls in driving his 1915 Hispano Suiza. We ended up chatting with him for about 20 mins, mostly about cars. His HS was packing a WW1 airplane engine and an air horn off an old french train. It was LOUD...

    1st ride (Pics)

    First chance I've had to get out since I picked up the T last weekend. Early morning ride out on Mulholland Hwy. It's gonna take me a few rides to get used to the bike especially on the tight twisties, and learning how far I can lean it over, but can already tell the T is gonna be a lot of fun.

    First ride

    OMG !!!!!.......... Just taken delivery of my 2006 RSV Factory & been on my first ride ......... Gotta say WHAT A MACHINE !!!!!!!! I traded in my '57 reg R1 as it was just too manic on the road & must admit was apprehensive about the RSV but even though it was only a very short ride it blew me...

    RSV Mille, First ride today!

    Did a P/X on this bike with a mate last week but only took it out for the first time today. BLOODY NORA! I was not expecting power like that! Just wonderful...& the noise is something else. I've always had big Jap inline 4s & this is my first Vtwin. I am still quite giddy after the ride. Doesn't...

I purchased a S1000rr in March and sold it with 700 miles 2 weeks ago. I convinced myself that I wanted to move away from Sportsbikes. Wait for it.....purchased...

    first long ride

    Hi all..just did a three day 1500km ride to victorian border country on my capo 1200.

Neutral...screen too small and guzzles fuel and cant filter with panniers also over...

    2015 Tuono V4 1100 Factory - First Ride

    As per title I collected my new Tuono V4 1100 Factory on Saturday and managed to get out on it for a few hours yesterday. WOW just about sums it up! I loved my 2013-14 V4 but the new 1100 handles slightly better, pulls slightly better, is a bit more comfy, and IMO looks a bit better. To...

    Great ride today

    One of the very real benefits of being retired is that whenever we have a good weather day I can just get on my bike and ride, like today. I have to say that the Tuono is awesome, I thought my Fireblade was quick but the Tuono is something else. The Quickshifter is superb and keeps making me...
