The BMW HP2 Sport is the latest iteration of the Bavarian Motor Company's foray into producing performance driven motorcycles. The quiet, staid, and lets just admit it boring motorcycles that came out of BMW in years past is history.

The HP line is BMW's new high performance, cutting edge line up. It's the motorcycle equivalent of their M line of performance cars.

The HP2 Sport is the third motorcycle in the HP line following the releases of the HP2 Enduro and the HP2 Megamoto......




The HP-2 Sport is based on the R1200S but is out and out designed for sports riders who are looking for a machine that has performance as well as endurance.

The HP2 Sport keeps some of the concepts that BMW motorcycles have become known for such as the BMW Motorrad Telelever front suspension and the EVO Paralever rear suspension. Other components have been newly developed or highly modified for use in the motorcycle.

The HP-2 Sport is powered by a twin Boxer motor that has a capacity of 1170 cc. The engine's cylinder heads were completely redesigned which allows the engine to rev as high as 9500 rpm. The engine has a 101 mm bore and a 73 mm stroke and produces a maximum of 130 hp at 8,750 rpm and 85 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 rpm.

The bike has a close ratio six speed gear box, with first and second gear having higher ratios. This puts the gear increments closer to each other and results in less of a rev drop when progressing up through the gears.

The bike also has a gear shift assistant which allows the rider to shift gears without using the clutch. It works by sensing when the gear lever is activated. If it senses gear lever activation without the use of the clutch, it electronically reduces power to the engine which puts the engine in a low load state and makes it possible to shift without the clutch. If the rider uses the clutch, the system becomes inactive.

The riding position of the HP-2 sport can be described as relaxed. BMW has extensive experience with endurance racing and knows that for racers to be fast over a long period staying power is more important than a full racer's tuck.

The dashboard was developed by 2D Systems, which also provides analytic recording systems to Moto GP racing.

The dashboard has two modes and is switched by two controls on the left handlebar. In road mode, typical information such as speed, rpm, time, and distance are displayed. In race mode data such as top speed, circuit times, number of gearshifts and rpm is shown.

The HP2 Sport will push BMW further into the world of performance motorcycling.

Edge On Motorcycling- The BMW HP2 Sport

How to Cure a hot running 2007 Harley Davidson?

That question must have been asked 10k times or more since the 2007 model line of Harley Davidsons were introduced. The mystery of the hot running 2007 models grew to almost a cult like issue on the Harley boards and Harley forums around the internet. Owners who didn't realize they had a hot running Harley Davidson suddenly agonized over the "problem" and demanded answers.



Being the owner of a 2007 FXSTB Nightrain I was obviously interested in the answer to the question. My bike didn't seem to run all that hot....I wondered aloud if some of these guys realized their motorcycles were air cooled and that they WILL run hot. I also questioned how many were first time riders and simply didn't realize that a hot engine 6 inches from your legs is going to produce heat. I am sure a number of new owners or riders succumbed to the phenomenon of the hot running 2007. They jumped on the bandwagon as so many people often do, but then I am positive of others that actually did experience a hot running Harley Davidson motorcycle......


Friends of mine that I am positive know what they are talking about were experiencing the hot running 2007 issue so it wasn't that the issue was non existent, I just think it might have been blown out of proportion. I decided to get to the bottom of the issue and see what I could find out about the problem. After a few days of digging around and talking to people in the know, I think it was clear what was the culprit.

Lean and Mean

After a lot of discussion and research it turns out that the new 96 cu inch Harley Davidson engine had to be tuned extremely lean in order to get it to meet government emissions requirements. The stock factory tune was set very lean by design, and as you know, a lean engine will run much hotter than a well tuned or even rich engine. Different riders reacted differently to the hot running condition as some didn't even notice and others it was enough of a problem that they wanted to trade their motorcycles in for a different year.

I also noticed a trend that it seemed to be the bagger crowd complaining the most vocally and the most frequently. I don't know if it is because the bagger crowd tends to be older and more demanding or if the models were more susceptible to the hot running condition. I think probably a little bit of both actually. If you take a look at the front end of some of the bagger models, the fairings restrict air flow across the engine dramatically compared to the more open models. So regardless of this issue, the lean condition seemed to be the culprit.



The Fix

The fix is rather simple.

Most riders that I was in contact with reported that a Stage 1 upgrade resolved the issue. A decent set of pipes combined with either a Stage 1 download or a fuel control system like a Power Commander or something similar cured the lean condition. They not only reported a much better running motorcycle but a much cooler running motorcycle. The addition of the pipes likely made for a much better looking and sounding motorcycle as well.

The Stage 1 kit will bring your motorcycle back down to a more normal heat range, at least normal for an air cooled Harley Davidson. The reflash will make for a richer mixture which will lower the operating temperature and make your Harley Davidson a much more enjoyable machine to ride.

Top 7 Best MPG Mopeds

Search Google for "how to change traffic lights" and you will find numerous sources of information. There are techniques that actually work for example the use of a mobile infrared transmitter (MIRT) and those that don't like the universal remote control method. One thing that is consistent is that there is only one method that is legal for everyone in all 50 states.

A MIRT works by sending a signal to a traffic light that will either turn the light green or turn all the lights red. This technology is only authorized for emergency vehicle use. If you do not drive a police car, fire truck, or ambulance it is not legal for you to own or operate a MIRT. In Michigan the penalties of using a MIRT or pretty stiff and I assume they are similar for all states......


Michigan MIRT Law...

+ A misdemeanor and up to 90 days in jail and a fine of $5,000 for the unlawful POSSESSION of a MIRT.
+ A FELONY charge with up to TWO YEARS in jail and a fine of 10,000 for the unlawful SALE of purchase of a MIRT.
+ A FELONY charge with up to FIVE years in jail and a fine of $15,000 for individuals using a MIRT that resulted in a traffic accident
+ A FELONY charge with up to 15 years in jail and a fine of $25,000 for the use of a MIRT resulting in death.

In fact any device used by an individual to alter the normal operation of a traffic light is illegal in all states. With Penalties this stiff why risk it when there is a legal solution. Fortunately, a motorcycle accessory known as a Traffic Light Changer is perfectly legal and works great.

Most traffic lights use electro magnet sensors buried under the road surface to determine if a vehicle is present. They usually appear as large black outlined rectangles on the road surface. Left turn lanes are the most likely to find these sensors but some secondary roads also have lights that will not change until a car is present. These sensors have to be sensitive enough to detect a car on them but not trigger when a vehicle is in the next lane over.

A Traffic light changer does not alter the normal operation of any traffic device. It merely helps to inform the traffic light's sensors that you are there and waiting. Frankly there are not enough steel parts in a motorcycle to properly trigger the traffic light every time. A traffic light changer simply makes your motorcycle appear much larger to the lights sensors. The best part is that this form of a traffic light changer is completely legal in all 50 states.

The Illinois Vehicle Code 625 ILCS 5/12-601.1 reads, in part:

(e) This Section does not prohibit use by motorcycles of electronic or magnetic safety devices designed to allow traffic control signal systems to recognize or detect motorcycles.

So if you or anyone you know is tired of being stuck at lights for what seems like forever get a traffic light changer today. Most of them will fit on any motorcycle, install in minutes, can be hidden out of site and are fully self contained. It is a perfect inexpensive and LEGAL solution to a common motorcyclist problem.

How To Change Traffic Lights On Your Motorcycle - The Legal Way!

Many people dream of owning a business, and turning a hobby into a profession can seem like the ideal way to realize that dream. If you like to build and fix your own Harley Davidson, you could turn your passion for motorcycles into a lucrative opportunity. The subject of starting a business is beyond the scope of this small article, but here are a few tips to get you started.

Dream Big, Start Small

One of the reasons that a custom bike shop is such a good opportunity is that your startup costs don't have to be large. You can start off working in your own garage on one project at a time. You won't need to keep a large inventory of Harley bike parts on hand as you can order just what you need......


You can either build a custom bike of your own design then try to sell it, or you can take commissions and build someone else's dream bike. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Using your own design means you can build according to your strengths and order just the Harley bike parts you need. You aren't on a deadline so you can spend as much or as little time each day on it. The problem is that once you have the bike done, you have a significant investment in it and you have no idea how long it will be before you find a buyer.

Getting customers first and working on their design can be more lucrative but more difficult. You have a paycheck waiting for you at the end of the project and may collect some of the money up front. However you are now held to someone else's ideas and timetable.

Transitioning from Hobby to Business

Turning your love of custom Harley bike parts into a profession may seem like a terrific idea, but there are pitfalls. The most important attitude adjustment you will have to make is to understand that this is a business now. One of the leading reasons home businesses fail is that their owners can't make the adjustment. Many of your motivations will have to change.

This change means that some of the fun of bike building will disappear. Many people who own custom motorcycle shops find that they are less interested in working on their own bikes now that it is their job.

The fact that you can start small means you can test the waters of self-employment and see if you can make the adjustment. You could start with a weekend project without quitting your job, investing in only the Harley bike parts you need as you need them. After a couple of these kinds of projects you can decide if it seems like something you can commit to and if the income is worth the time you invest.

Reviews On Used Motorcycle Parts

Scooters range in the mileage they can get depending on what type of scooter and the brand. You have electric scooters and gas powered scooters from many different companies. I am going to talk about the mileage and usage of the Razor Electric Scooters. There are a lot of different options with Razor electric scooters, like color speed, size, seat options, distance you can travel and more. In the Razor electric scooter line there are 3 main scooters and then variations of each. First you have the E100 series, next is the E200 and E200S, finally the E300 and E300S. All these scooters offer benefits to the rider that may be riding them. Some are better for beginner, some are better for those that want speed, and some are better for those that want comfort. Whatever the case may be there is a Razor electric scooter for pretty much anyone.

The E100 is the most simple of all the electric scooters from razor. It is the least expensive, lightest, comes in two colors, but does not have an option for a seat. The E100 comes in red and pink. It goes up to 10 mph and as far as the E100 mileage, its good. You can travel anywhere from 5 to 10 miles on one charge, often lasting up to 40 minutes of ride time. The mileage and speed is going to vary slightly depending on the weight and driving style of the operator......


The E200 is the second in Razors electric scooter line. The E200 gets a little bit better then the E100. First it has an option of a seat. That comes with the E200S. That way if you want to just cruise around you can sit down or stand up, whatever is most comfortable to you. The E200 travels up to 13 mph and can travel up to 10 miles per charge. The E200 can last up to 45 minutes per charge.

The E300 is the best electric scooter in the Razor line. The E300 also has a seat option available in the E300S. The E300 is the fastest and the best. It can travel more the 10 miles and up to 15 mph and more, with some riders, per charge. You can ride this scooter for nearly an hour per charge. Traveling 15 mph on a scooter is quite fast. Even though it may not seem like that is very fast, when you get the wind blowing in your face and your feet that close to the ground you may back off the throttle a little bit.

The Electric Razor Scooter line is top of the line and has options for everyone. If you are young or a beginner start with the E100 or E200. If you are looking for speed and distance the E300 is for you. If you would rather have the option of comfort and the ability to sit down then the E200S or the E300S are right for you. What ever the case may be these scooters are a blast to ride.

Scooter Mileage - How Far Can Your Scooter Travel Per Charge?

When you get the motorcycle of your dreams, you may think that that's it and you are going to be done with it. That's not always the case. Knowing what you can do for you is just the beginning.

People often times take for granted the role that exhaust plays in their motorcycle parts needs. They may not understand that when your bike has a bad exhaust on it, you will not be able to drive it far. This is not a great thing to have to worry about when you just bought your bike.

There are many places that you can get your exhaust system. These include your local motorcycle parts store as well as other stores in the area. You may be able to get a good discount on your exhaust when you are looking on the Internet or at the places that may sell them for cars......


The other option is to do put it together yourself. You will need to have some kind of experience with motorcycle parts so that you know where it goes of all things. You also want to make sure that you are ready for that kind of work. It really takes a lot of work to put it together and make it work for your bike.

Your bike is going to need a certain kind of pipe to make it work for you and what you are doing. This can mean letting a professional find the motorcycle parts that you are looking for and putting them on your bike in the end. People think that it's easy to do, but it really does take some work to get an exhaust system on your bike. Take the time to figure it out and get it right.

When you decide that you are going to put a new kind of exhaust on your bike, you may not worry about what kind of pipes you want to use and what it will sound like. You really need to pay attention to what you are doing with your bike and how it sounds. A bad job can hurt the way that your bike functions and the way that it sounds too. Take the time to find the right motorcycle part for your bike and your needs so that you are happy with the outcome and the sound of your bike for the life of it.

Bike Shows And What You Can Learn

When you ride your motorcycle for the first time, you may not know what you should pick. Goggles or helmets, for your riding adventures. It's not hard to figure it out if you know what to look for.

Which one is right for you?

When you start looking at the options that you may have in front of you, it may seem confusing as to what one is best for you. Goggles are a great way to protect the eyes without having the heaviness of a helmet. You won't have any protection for your head though, when you just have goggles on. A helmet protects the entire head and lets you ride your motorcycle without any real issues. This is because if you get into an accident, then you will have at least a little bit of protection on your head.

Helmets

Helmets are the things that you wear on your entire head so that you have protection in the event of an accident. This can be a very important part of your motorcycle gear collection because of the safety factor and that it helps to keep you alive. Some states even require you to wear them while you are riding your motorcycle in the first place.

Goggles

If you decide that you don't want to wear a helmet or are not required to, then you might want to consider goggles when you are on your motorcycle. Adding this to your collection of motorcycle gear will help you to have a wide range of products that will potentially protect parts of your body. Goggles don't do much for your head in an accident, but you will at least be able to see the road when you are taking that favorite ride around town......


There are many advantages to both goggles and helmets, the trick is finding the right combination of motorcycle gear to go with what you are going to be wearing and what may feel comfortable for you while you are riding. The different products available to you are what will help to make your choice between a helmet and a pair of goggles easier or hard for you in the end. Take the time to find the products that will fit your needs as well as help to possibly save your life. This way you will be happy and safe while you are on the road.

Abstract: If you are ready to take a motorcycle ride across country, there are several steps that you will need to take and several pieces of motorcycle gear to take with you to make the ride enjoyable.

Over The Road Motorcycling And What You Need

So, you're ready to take that first motorcycle ride across the country. How exciting that will be for everyone. But what in the world will you take? Do you need any special gear? These are all questions you may be panicking to ask yourself.

Taking the plunge

When you decide to take your first cross country motorcycle ride, you may not be sure exactly what you should take. This can often be a hard decision but with a little time and a little effort you can figure it out. Probably the first thing you'll want to decide is if you're going alone or taking friends. Most of the time you will be taking your friends with you on your cross country ride, so you might want to make sure that everyone knows with their jobs are. That way everyone will be organized but still having fun.

What to take

OK so now you decided they're going to go with a group of your friends. You will all need to decide what you're going to take with you. Having a group is great because the saddlebags on your motorcycle probably will not carry very much. So where are you going to sleep? A good rule of thumb on your ride is to know where you want to stop. If you don't have a plan of stopping in a motel, you'll probably want to take at least a sleeping bag. Then you won't be stuck sleeping on the hard ground with nothing under you. You also may want to consider taking with you some credit cards or traveler's checks because you don't want to get stuck on the road with no money. After all your motorcycle does take gas to run, and you don't want to run out and be stuck on the highway.

So when you get ready to start your cross country ride, make sure that you have the things that you will need. This way you won't have any issues that you can't take care of on the road. Cross country rides can be extremely fun if they're well planned and everything is thought of. Just remember to have fun and be safe when you're out on the open road, even if you want to seem like a rebel. You don't want to get hurt because you're doing something stupid while on the road.

Choosing Motorcycle Goggles Or Helmets

The infamous James Dean in the long-gone wildcard of a movie – Rebel without a Cause – could well be attributed with making the riding of a motorcycle a statement instead of a mere form of efficient transportation for the masses. Nothing comes closer to these two-wheelers when questions of fuel efficiency are coupled with the need to cover distances at speed comes into play. An automobile would be a more comfortable mode of traveling, and you are cocooned from the rigors of the ever changing weather patterns, but nothing says carefree cruising at maybe half the cost than a motorcycle.

For Americans, Harley Davidson motorcycles are the one and only brand for any serious two-wheel enthusiasts who’s thinking of getting one for, say a cross state sojourn. No other brands comes close to the image of a grand cruising machine that the motorcycles from the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, manufacturer. Japanese motorcycles might just be cheaper, and sips gas instead of drinking them by the glasses, but they are looked at as mere imitation when compared to the real item; Harley Davidson......




Designed with the specific need for cruising the highways and covering great distances, the century old motorcycle manufacturer Harley Davidson Motor Company focuses mainly on the heavyweight class with engine capacities of 750 cc and above. When you talk about Harleys – as these motorcycles are fondly called – there is evidence a fierce and somewhat fanatical brand loyalty for the brand. Nothing else comes close for its millions of fans.

The main draw for Harleys are not just for its superb cruising abilities, but also the high level of personalization which its manufacturer adopt in making the two wheel machines. There is almost a well accepted tradition among Harley Davidson fans that you are supposed to customize the machine so that it becomes uniquely yours and no one else’s. Their designs are mostly retrogressive in outlook, but at the same time, these will stand the test of time and do not aged as easily as the more modern, futuristic designs, especially from Japanese manufacturers.

Even if you were to purchase your Harley after scouring the used motorcycles for sale column in either the local newspapers or through the internet, you would still be able to customize it to the point that it would be able to hide its age from your motorcycle gang. What’s important however is the exhaust note emitted from the single, dual or even quadruple pipes from it huge engine. Without a doubt, the deep burble of a Harley is a clear signal to its rip roaring capabilities available for their riders to tap into.

It’s all American bruiser-cruiser, retro-styling, but Harley Davidson has managed to keep its mechanical facet of the motorcycle up to date when compared to its competitors. There is nothing retro of the engine, exhaust, brakes, suspension and electronics as they are continually updated and improved. What its manufacturer makes sure of, however, is that it retain the highly lovable image of the yesterday with every model upgrade that it comes out with. Unlike, say BMW motorcycles – one of Harley Davidson’s many competitors – Harleys exists not to further its technological advantage but to spur its all-American image instead.

There are many models to choose from when it comes to buying a Harley Davidson motorcycle. A firm favorite is the "Fat Boy" which Harley Davidson introduced way back in the 1990s; there is the Sportster range which comes with engines of 1,000 cc and above, the Dyna models, which comes with big-twin engine but small-diameter telescopic forks, which differentiates it from its older brother as well as the Revolution models, which are mostly street-going versions of Harleys.

Speak the name Harley Davidson, and invariably the image of mean machines with leather pouches, long telescopic forks, huge exhausts and whole gangs of motorcyclists on a continent-crossing journey would probably come to mind for many, and true enough, they would not be far from the truth. For a manufacturer which has seen two devastating world war and stiff competition from competitors that produces far modern-looking machines every second quarter or so, Harley Davidson is a firm favorite among the enthusiasts and not looking at throwing away its title anytime soon.

Harley Davidson Enthusiasts

Some people build custom bikes because they are cheaper than buying one. Others just want the I-built-that feeling as they look at it. Still others might want customization that they can't get in an "off the shelf" model.

When someone decides to build a motorcycle, there are three paths to take depending on budget, mechanical skill, design aims, and past building experience. Those paths are custom bike kits, a rolling chassis, and building the whole thing from a collection of motorcycle parts.

Custom Bike Kits

The simplest choice for someone who has never built a bike before is to try one of the many custom bike kits out there. You get a box that has everything you need to build the bike from the ground up except the paint......


Kits are great for first-time builders. If you can follow instructions, you end up with a bike put together with your own hands. You don't have to worry about picking the wrong parts or whether two pieces will work together. You will make mistakes along the way, but they will tend to be safe mistakes that won't ruin the build.

The biggest downside is the cost. This is perhaps the most expensive way to build a custom bike. You are also limited as to how much customization you can do. Sure you can swap out the included parts with others of your choice, but that means throwing away pieces you've already paid for.

Rolling Chassis

A rolling chassis is a partially assembled bike that you can customize. It includes the frame, handlebars, wheels, gas tank, and other basic parts. You need to add an engine and a transmission then finish it off with custom pieces.

This is a good middle-of-the-road choice. A rolling chassis is cheaper than one of the kit bikes while keeping the advantage of pre-selected parts that work together. Since all you have is the underlying framework, you still have lots of customization options.

Building a bike from a rolling chassis requires more skill on your part, since you are going to have to choose the other parts yourself.

A variation on the rolling chassis is to take an existing bike, cut it down to the frame, thus producing your own chassis. A used bike will probably cost less than a rolling chassis and you will be removing the parts that have seen the most wear and tear such as the engine.

Building from Scratch

The ultimate in a custom bike is one that you select all the motorcycle parts yourself. The bike becomes a true expression of your personality because every nut and bolt was hand selected. Needless to say this build is beyond most first-timers and even most second-timers.

You can either go cheap, cannibalizing parts from junk bikes, or expensive, buying high end custom chopper parts. This is truly a blank canvas and the ultimate challenge for the bike builder.

3 Ways to Build a Motorcycle

If you are going to build a motorcycle, the frame determines the basic look of the bike. Of course motorcycle frames affect not only the appearance of the bike but the handling and safety of the finished machine.

Frames are the basic skeleton to which other components are attached. They hold the motorcycle tanks and engine and provide support to the whole bike. Most frames are made of steel or aluminum but there are also other choices such as carbon-fibre.

Motorcycle frames generally fall into one of several categories.

Single Cradle: This is the simplest of the motorcycle frames, a design that harks back to some of the earliest motorcycles ever made. It has a single large tube for a spine and smaller tubes that cradle the engine. This is commonly used on off-road bikes. A variation is the split single cradle which is a single cradle that splits into two cradles at the back for the exhaust.....

Double Cradle: An evolution of the single cradle, it uses two cradles on either side to hold the engine. These were commonly used on simple road bikes and some custom bikes, but have mostly been supplanted by perimeter frames.

Backbone: These are specialty frames that are used rarely. It has a solid metal backbone and the engine hangs suspended from this. It's a simple and inexpensive frame with a distinctive look, but other designs are better in terms of strength and rigidity.

Perimeter: These frames originated on racing motorcycles. The steering head and swingarm are joined at a very short distance, reducing flexure and torsion substantially. They were originally made from steel but most are made from aluminum nowadays to save weight. Once the advantages of this frame were seen, they were adopted by most motorcycle manufacturers.

Monocoque: Another specialty frame that is even rarer than the backbone. They are very heavy and rigid, combining seat mounting, tank, and tail into a single sturdy piece of metal. They are used almost exclusively on specialized competition bikes and are not a good choice for street bikes.

Trellis: European manufacturers came up with this design although it is catching on in the US as well. It uses many of the same construction principles as the perimeter frame and matches it in rigidity and weight. Its distinctive look is formed by a "trellis" of short tubes that make up the body of the frame. It requires more effort to manufacture than the perimeter but the result is extremely strong.

One of the earliest decisions to make is which of these motorcycle frames is right for your bike. Many of your other decisions will depend on the type of frame you choose so consider the options and choose wisely.

Husqvarna Motorcycles are a world renown company that has been around since the beginning of the 1900's. In the mid-1900's, Husqvarna motorcycles were untouchable and dominate in every division until a change in ownership made it difficult to keep up with the high demand for production. Since then, Husqvarna has been slowly working its way back into the racing scene but with little success until now. The Husqvarna motorcycle company was sold once again in July of 2007. Will this new change in ownership be enough to bring Husqvarna motorcycles back into the #1 position?

The legend of Husqvarna motorcycles started back when Husqvarna rolled out its first production motorcycle in 1903 from their factory located in Huskvarna, Sweden. Husqvarna has always been known for producing world-class motocross and enduro bikes with unbelievable sling-shot power bands. Husqvarna won many world championships back in the 60's and 70's in both motocross and enduro classes. Husqvarna was winning championships in all of the 125, 250, 350, and 500cc divisions with some years winning multiple championships......



Husqvarna absolutely dominated the competition for decades until 1987 when an Italian company named Cagiva purchased the Husqvarna motorcycle division and moved production to Varese, Italy. Cagiva introduced some new 2-stroke models and did away with the old 2-stoke models which already had numerous championship titles but still kept the same 4-stroke models. The new 2-stroke bikes had difficulty competing with the Japanese made bikes and Cagiva couldn't produce enough bikes and parts to supply the high demand. This change in ownership is why Husqvarna motorcycles and parts became so hard to find causing them to be known more as a rare and exotic motorcycle.

It has been 2 decades now that Husqvarna motorcycles have been struggling to get back into the competition field only taking a world championship here and there, but with a new change in ownership may prove to be the end of the struggle. In July of 2007, the BMW Motor Company decided to purchase the Husqvarna motorcycle company for the sole intention of marketing Husqvarna motorcycles to help market BMW's line of motorcycles. You see, BMW makes large-engine motorcycles and they want to market Husqvarna's small-engine motorcycles to help bring the young crowd's attention to BMW's large-engine motorcycles. BMW plans on running Husqvarna just as it is with the same factory and staff.

Now Husqvarna has exactly what it needs with all the financial support of BMW, the world renown car and large motorcycle manufacturer, to help bring Husqvarna back on top of the competition. With 2 world renown companies bringing their ideas together they can start producing larger production factories, more dealerships, new technologies, and millions of dollars in advertisement to let it be known of the new change. This potent mix is going to cause a revolution in motorcycle designs of the future and it is just around the corner!

How To Sell Your Motorcycle

It isn't always easy to choose the right insurance carrier to handle your needs - especially when the automobile you're trying to insure isn't an auto at all, but a motorcycle.

Shopping for any kind of insurance can be tricky. Companies have the tendency to offer different types of plans, making it difficult to know which ones offer the same basic benefits for the same price. It isn't uncommon for one insurance carrier to offer you a policy at one price, and another carrier a totally different price for what appears to be the same coverage. The reason? It isn't always apparent. Maybe the higher priced agency offers full replacement value should your motorcycle be stolen or totaled in a crash, while the other carrier only pays the amount the bike was worth at the time of the accident - which can leave you paying thousands in extra costs to buy a new bike similar to the one that you lost.

Another difference may be in the deductible being offered. The higher the deductible, the lower the insurance rate. But, be careful. It's always a good idea to carry the lowest possible deductible that you can afford, since this is money straight out of your pocket in the event of a claim......


It's always important when shopping for any type of motorcycle insurance to check out the laws in your particular state to see what you are legally required to carry, in order to avoid buying more coverage than you actually need.

The first thing you'll have to decided when purchasing motorcycle insurance is what type of coverage you want and need. If you've taken out a loan to buy your bike, your creditors will more than likely require you to purchase full coverage until the loan is paid in full, but if you were lucky enough to pay cash for your bike (or handle financing in some other fashion), than you may be able to decided exactly how much insurance you really need and want to pay for.

Liability coverage allows you to carry a low premium, but keep in mind it doesn't cover any of your costs associated with an accident, theft or vandalism. It is basically a policy to cover the other guy and any costs you may find yourself responsible for.

Collision insurance will help pay for the replacement or repair of your own bike should something happen to it, and full, or comprehensive coverage pays for everything, including heft, vandalism and all costs associated with any accidents you may be involved in.

Once you decide on the type of insurance you want and the deductible you're comfortable with, it's time to start shopping around. The best way to find a good deal is to talk to other bikers in your community to see what carrier they use and what cover ages they carry. After that, the decision is yours. The important thing is to get what you need for a price that you can afford.
