Yep, you got it. Motorcycle are very much the same, in fact I've always assumed mountain bikes get their values from what motorcycles have proven...
Honestly, I ride like that a lot myself. I tend to goof off quite a bit on the street, but never when it would/could effect someone else (read: I...
HA HA!!! Thanks man, I needed that this morning!
You might want to make sure you aren't finding brake lines for a VFR750 - that is a totally different motorcycle. That said, the same lines work...
