Lots of ST1100 owners remove the stickers. I'm one of them. One owner has Ferrari stickers on his red Honda. Looks cool. The only reference to Honda on my...
They should be the same, mine are. The heat is on the finger on bolt side. I have some pictures on my yahoo site, see my LINK, and the wire on the throttle is...
I'm in the minority with you -- I think the name is fine. Sure, it's a little different, but so is the bike. If I wanted to be like everyone else, I'd have a...

What's in a name? As near as I can tell the Varadero was named after a beach in Cuba. Capo Nord means north cape. I don't have a problem with V-Strom. But I do...
