not sure, how can i know if its steel or alloy?

thanks

Somethin shit just happened! As I was pumping tires on the hornet for the first time, the Kick stand went up as i was wheeling the bike back but i didnt hear or feel it - so as i was putting it down and the stand wasnt there it slowly dropped, fortunately it didn't slam cos i was still holding it, s...

for a start centre stands make pushing a bike over harder!? generally more secure, dont have to lean it when parking in a bay - I had a go on a 99 bandit couple of days ago - loved it straight away - was really tempted but thought £2200 was too much for 20k mileage 99 hornet.....if i hold on reckon ...

Hi there, Just wanted a bit of advice really - Ive been nipping about on a scooter for 4 or 5 yrs now - I did my proper bike test last summer and managed to pass - so im looking to ditch the scooter and get a bike - I was looking at something like a suzuki bandit 600 or a Honda CBF 600 as they both ...
