It's been a long time and finally did another update and included all the good points mentioned above. Thanks for sharing!

I've update the first post with all the latest info. If you notice any info thats wrong or missing let me know and I'll add it.

After a long hiatus I've come to check on this thread. Its been 4 yrs since any updates were made so I've updated most of the links and some content. If I missed anything or info is wrong let me know and I'll make the change (whenever i check this again)

If you are in scarborough, Cycleworld had a big selection. Snow city not so much.

Everyone gets nervous the first time. Go about in stages. If you live in an apartment, just start off in the parking lot or driveway if you live in the house. Try to go a few feet foward in first without stalling and before having to switch to second. Rinse repeat till you've got the clutch...

I agree with above poster. I wouldn't ride with anything but a full face helmet regardless if it doesn't look cool or what not. Safety and bug-less face comes first :) Though i did have an incident where a fly managed to sneak in and it was buzzing around my ear driving me nuts. I couldn't get...

I've never driven manual stick shift car before. The only knowledge I had was from Gran Turismo game haha. So when I was at Learning Curves learning for the M2, I was the only guy stalling in the parking lot on day 1 while the rest were doing laps. When lunch time came I was all ready to quit...

17.50 is if you only doing the written test and taking the road test with the riding course. The riding course includes the road test and usually have free re-test if you fail (which rarely happens-the failing part that is)

Mmmm I might give the FZ6 a go. Probably slap on some fairing as I do a lot of highway riding and that'll probably help cut through the wind better. Too bad thay don't make them anymore and not a lot of people selling it either.

We have a review section??? :shock: lol to be honest, I only got to this thread from the General Motorcycle Dicussions section.

Poor yamaha, its forgotten child the FZ6r is never invited to these party lists ;) Also i believe the gsx650f is more in line with the 650r and fz6r. The sv650s had a more sportier position from what i recall when i sat on it. Not as upright as the others. Since i've been researching my next...

Ahh you beat me to it. I was going to start a similar thread. I would categorize into 125-250cc and 400-500cc and have the bikes listed with pros and cons. Feel free to add this to your post if you feel its helpful. Anyways, I believe the 250s and 500s are good starting bike. I dunno about the...

2011 FZ6R in a few months

Thanks. I added that in.

Congrats on M1. Good luck on the M2. As for my 250, i'm pretty happy with it. When I first got it I was lil nervous on it and glad I didnt go more powerful and pop wheelies by mistake. Its forgiving and builds your confidence. After a month of riding and becoming one with the bike I felt the...
