Ride with them during the day but not at night. Hell they are really bright don't want to blind people cause I myself don't like some dumbass blinding me with thier highbeams.

 

I personally do ride all during the daylight hours with my highbeams on....ANYTHING can help for those fucking cages to see me...

At night my low-beams get flashes from oncomers...the 2002 has very bright lights...

As to the legality of it....most new cars when you turn them on the highbeam headlights come on even without the lights on ....the whole "Lights on for safety" thing...I doubt there is a legal issue involved as long as if someone flashes you put them to lowbeam.....

 

yeah i always get flashed at night even with my highbeams on, funny how its the semi's that do it when their lights are so high they always look like highbeams as well

 

i always have em on high during the day......but not at night

as far as being illegal, it could be i guess. i've been pulled over in my truck because my fog lights were aimed up to high, making them distracting to other drivers.......i just think that cop was being a prick.....i guess they can pull you over for anything

 

Hight beams by day, low beams by night.

- BA

 

I used to ride with my highbeams on during the daytime also.That is until i found that 60 dollars PIAA bulbs have a tendency to greatly shorten the lifespan of the bulb when you do this.:fact Now i just use lowbeam left and right unless the sun is working against me (aka sun glare) then i flick them to high.

 

High beams day,low at night

 

Super brights day and night

I would rather be an asshole who is seen then one more statistic
for an insurence company.

Just the way I see it.

 

Yamaha headlights rule!

I have friends that have Gixers and Hondas and they have to drive with high beams just so both headlights are on. It looks totally stupid with only one headlight on, so they turn on their high beams so both are illuminated. Pretty tacky if you ask me.

 

Almost never on the R1. The stock beams are fairly bright.

I always keep them on in my Aprilia

 

Day=High, Night=Low and thats only beacause I get enough flashes with just the lows on at night, brights would blind them

 

Low almost all the time.

In the day time if I'm splitting through heavy traffic or congested area, then I'll flick on the high beam. Other than that I'll run them on low beams. If I can see my light's reflection off another vehicle in the daytime, they're okay.

At night, low always. With highbeams on, I don't want to blind oncoming cars to the point where they can't see and go into my lane. The lows are bright enough where I get flashed if not I can see the driver turn down his rear view mirror or turn away from my lights.

PIAA Plasma GT's are the shit!

:rock

 

I ride with highbeams on only during the day.

 

I have 90/100 watters and I ride with my highs on durring the day....

 

Yep, anything it takes to keep from getting tagged by a car. If they are too bright for them during the day, too F-ing bad. I would rather have them momentarily annoyed than me dead.

I rarely ride at night tho, but when I do, I respect cager's eyes & keep the low beams on.

 

Highs all the time (day and night) Unless i get flashed at night, then kick to lows...car passes, back to highs

 

I have 90/100 watt bulbs and I ride with my highs on during the day ALWAYS!!!!

 

Always high during the day. I used to ride at night with them too, until I started riding with another R1 and sw how frickin bright they are, so no I ride with the lows when there is traffic around

 

i have halogen lights which are pretty bright, highbeams at night is not only legal, but encouraged.

night should be off just so you dont piss everyone off and blind em. the funny thing is tho, even when my lights are not on highbeam at night, cars be flashing me all the time tellin me to turn off my high beams. but then i just flash back to let them know it IS off...

True, mine burnt out after a couple months of constant high beams. Now its just low beam status.....

I trynot to ride in traffic too much anyways.
