    Which sports bike would you consider for your first?

    If this is your first ever bike I'd tend to recommend against that ZX6R. Why do you suppose the fairing's scratched & it's for sale? Maybe someone bit off more than he can chew, so don't be the next person to make the same mistake on that same bike! The Ninja 250 is fine for urban combat...

    that new three wheel gizmo that steers from the front,car or bike which is it?

    If you're talking about the Can-Am Spyder, I myself don't consider it a motorcycle because it doesn't lean and you don't use the same physics as you would on a real bike. Even sidecars are closer to motorcycles than those. If you're talking about the Piaggio MP3, hell yes it's a "bike"...

    Why is the speedometer max speed set to 180Kmph on two bikes with different

    It's less expensive to build more of one design than less of two designs. Economies of scale. At least you're not saddled with those STUPID politician/mobocracy mandated 85 mph speedos.

    HARLEY-DAVIDSON going out of BUSINESS?

    While H-D isn't everyone's bike of choice, they are one of the best selling brands of bike *in the world*, so no, they aren't any longer in danger of dissolving. Plus they have all the merchandising profits to boost them in hard times. Now, if only more of their dealerships pulled their heads...

    If i am the owner of a motorcycle can my boyfriend (who is the sole driver)...

    Usually an insurance carrier wants to see what's called "insurable interest" in the item being covered. If he comes with you to the agent and gives them a statement saying he's going to be the sole operator of this vehicle they may cover him. This may be up to the company or agency, so your...

    want a street bike for this coming may.?

    If you like the sporty style & performance & don't mind the cramped "legroom", try the R6 or GSXR600. It sounds like the "Ninja-ped" was good for experience building & you have an idea of the kind of riding you do. If you use your bike for longer rides & commuting, consider the Versys & 650R...

    Should car be idling when I am charging my laptop?

    The reason your laptop battery takes 1 hour+ to charge isn't because it's soaking up so many Amp*hours (a unit of energy) but because it has to do it slowly enough that it won't heat up too much by getting charged at too high a rate (energy / time = power). Heat can damage batteries. So you...

    what do you think abou this car?

    The only people that may consider vehicles to be investments are: 1) The manufacturer. 2) The dealership. In these cases it's also called "inventory". NEVER, NEVER, EVER (!!!!!) consider your vehicle an investment. That's just a misuse of the word by the more desperate salesmen out there...
