I'm only 5'10" but find the bike very very comfortable. I had a friend sit on the bike - he is 6'3" and had no issues with the ergonomics of the bike. IMO - this bike is built for taller riders in mind for some reason.

Try this: Ermax - Nose screen FZ1 N 2006/2015 (speedmax.biz) Have heard that the Ermaz screens are good.

2009 Model and as of yesterday, has about 55,000 KMS I bought it 3 years ago when the ODO was 20,000 KMS. Some pics below:

Hey All, Just returned from a 1400 kms weekend trip with a few friends. On the way back - noticed a strange grinding noise at low speeds. On idle, the engine sounds perfectly fine and high speeds is fine too. Gear changes are smooth too and when doing between 55 km/h - 70 km/h (Normal street...

Awesome read.. I've been around bikes since I was born and can totally understand a lot of sentiments. During the years of 'settling down' (Read uni, career, marriage and kids) - I was without a bike and smiled at your statement 'But I never forgot those days and while working in the LA area...

Hmm...surely you mean this as a joke?

Looks good So, it was just a straight swap.?

I've always read good reviews about the Schuberths, hence my scepticism. Anyways - Thanks for the feedback. Will see what I buy next (mid) year... Plenty of time to research and investigate. :)

How's the build quality? Schuberth is not available in Australia but two of my friends bought them online (A few months ago) and both of them are unhappy. I was tempted to buy the S2 but having second thoughts now and rather stick to Shoei. Have been stung with Shark too so not keen to make...

All right..a little update. Had the opportunity to join in a 350 + kms ride with a bunch of like minded individuals and so far I'm pretty happy with their performance. . There was gravel involved in certain sections and they performed well. Didn't feel them squirm or slip too much. First...

Australian review here: Pirelli Diablo Rosso III Tyre Review - Bike Review A few words from the Review: I ask myself every time something new comes out, how can they ever improve on that? But they always seem to, and tyres are a prime example, especially the Pirelli Diablo Rosso III. I was...

Hi All, After some deliberation, decided to go ahead with the Rosso III's on Friday (AND also decided to get the 190/55 Rear instead). The ride home was just about 15 mins but I could immediately feel the difference between the squared off PR4's and the new R3's. OK, maybe it was the...

Will post reviews for sure... I'm going for 55 rear. :D

Ok...Have decided to go for Rosso 3's and have booked in this Friday (Tomorrow). And that means, I HAVE to go out on the weekend to scrub them in. ;)

I'm also planning to go 55 this time... How many K's have you got on them now? And what did you change from? The 2's were known for their soft tread and a friend of mine only got 7k kms from him BMW S1000R (and he doesn't even ride that hard). I'm not expecting them to last the same as my...
