You're getting a little hard for us Canadians to understand. Does the type of seat it has have some kind of insurance implications?
I wish Ontario would follow Queensland in their treatment of used motorcyles, insurance and licencing.
Solo seating qualfies for the lower rate on rego ( Aussie for registration ) which includes basic liability insurance and that goes with the bike...so if I bought this today I'd get until April having basic insurance....hop on and ride. There is a small fee to transfer ownership.
Getting an open class licence here is a chore but fortunately my Ontaro M was accepted for open class ( any bike as opposed to LAMS which is under 650 and has power/weight restrictions )
So a 650 KLR is a LAMS qualified bike but a 650 Vstrom is not unless you buy the restricted power version. ( under 50 HP )
I'd not touch a bike that old if I didn't have my friends love of tinkering. He has a small stable of bikes of various vintage and keeps my KLR in good nick just for the enjoyment of doing it.
I did have a 1991 ST1100 here which was fun except in the city ...top heavy and crazy heat off the engine. Not all that nimble in the twists and guzzled gas - lovely motor tho and amazing wind protection.
This 750 is lighter - even at 500 lb wet that's big improvement over 700 lb for the ST. The ST was also a bit wide for my 30" inseam even tho the seat height was low.
The reviews show the 750 as having enough torque to not need to be spun up for casual riding but will go when prodded.
Fuel cost will be high and have to consider battery cost here in the tropics. New rubber likely too. I'd like a road bike tho ...there is a 2011 CB400F around which always been on my bucket list but too much money.
If I was staying here permanently now as opposed to 4-6 months a year I'd be all over that.
Thanks for feedback.
Seller is only 5 km away so hoping to hear soon.
( Mike - totally different market here - with speed restrictions so heavily enforced the heavy handed riders are usually out of a licence long before the bike gets trashed. Even the CB400f rider is forced to sell as he got himself in his words "heavy licence trouble." )
It might just be a whim - but it's a cheap one ...and buddy will take it for a spin once a month when I'm not here.
Wet season is just endng ( Dec - March is hot and wet ) and then there is 9 months of glorious riding conditions.
March is the hinge month but the whole week looks lke this - and at 33 a rain shower feels good. Heading out around 8 am.

Partly cloudy. Slight (30%) chance of a light shower during the morning and afternoon. Light winds becoming east to southeasterly 20 to 25 km/h in the middle of the day then becoming light in the evening.
