I was basing my comparison on the 2017/2018 models. And yes, they are, IMHO, pointless to compare. They are such different machines, each with their own positives and negatives. It all comes down to the rider, and what they value as important in their decision matrix. No reason to become...

I like your dedication to the 650. I was going to get the 650, but the better brakes, suspension, and slightly more powerful motor tipped the scales for me. At my weight of 150lbs and 5’6” 29” inseam, the Wee would have worked nicely, but for the reasons mentioned, and I know if I got the 650 I...

Yes in Huntsville. Can’t speak to their food, as I do not eat restaurant food, but the lattes are to die for...at least the ones I have. Affogato Café + Gelato 72 Main Street East (Riverside, ie back lot of the main street)...

I am riding out to NFLD, departing Barrie Ontario area on September 7. I will be taking the Northern route, via North Bay. HIGHWAY 17 is a nice ride, IMHO, far better then the mundane 401. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think the green wheels will look AWESOME. But sadly, not my bike. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very glad you are okay. Goes to show that not every peep in a car is a jerk. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good advise. Thanks for the reminder. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you can ride into the spot so that you end up in a “backed in position” by all means, however, in lieu of duck walking or riding into a spot, you dismount and park it. Safer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Consult the owners manual. The folks who built and designed your bike, you know, the guys with initials after their names like P. Eng. or M. Sc, listen to what they have to say, which sill be in the manual, or as a service bulletin to the dealership. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. If you took a motorcycle riding course, which if you want insurance in Ontario, that will become a mandatory requirement. It isn’t yet, but it is moving in that direction, anyhow in the course we / I would have taught you to always back in to your parking spot. Do it properly. Dismount the...

Cheap AND readily available seldom go hand-in-hand. I guess you could try Royal Distributing. They tend to carry cheap and cheerful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
