Looking for a 500-650 cc bike, preferably sport-touring. I'm open to other options (I've been riding a 250cc Suzuki Marauder for a while)

I sent him a message and someone put a payment down on it already. I guess my search for a bike continues!

Hey I just called Desjardins myself, I'm satisfied with their quote 23 male, no accidents/claims/no previous insurance history/no jail time, etc... 2011 M1 & M2 Motorcycle Safety Course Suzuki GZ250 (marauder) Living in Toronto: $1399 (liability only) Living in North Bay: $1050 (liability &...

Thanks for all the input, it's given me a lot of insight to buying a used bike. Unfortunately the bike was sold to someone else before I was able to look at it. I've decided that I'll wait for another while to save up more money in order to have a larger financial safety net. What surprised me...

Thanks for the advice everyone! I was worried about the carbed system but I guess it just takes some learning. I'll contact the seller and hope that everything turns out alright. I just got a quote for TD and they gave me a yearly quote of $1488 for the whole year, and only $57 from October to...

Does it matter how bad the drop was? From what I recall, the accident occurred in gravel, and the rider wasn't going that fast.

Hey everyone, I've never owned a bike before but I'd like to know what your opinion would be. I am 21 years old and I will just have my M2 for over a year in the upcoming week. I know someone who is selling their motorcycle, it's a 2010 Kawasaki Ninja with roughly 10,000 KM on it. The bike has...

I plan on selling the bike because once I get my M I'll take a break, and I won't have anywhere to store the bike. I'd figured that I'll just be losing money by paying for storage. Once I reach 25 and the insurance gets cheaper I plan on getting a 250 cc motorcycle :D

Thanks for the input everyone! As for the 250 thoughts, I have looked into it and have spend a large amount of time considering it. I was thinking more of having the CBR125 to start off with (this is just going to be a temp. bike until I get my M) and once I hit 25 I'll get a 250cc bike. A...

Just a brief background. My birthday is in June, I'm 20 at the moment turning 21 this year. I got my M2 last year in September. My driving record is completely clean, no tickets nor accidents. Anyways, so I heard that insurance will drop once you hit 21 and have your M2 for a year or more. I...

Thanks everyone! I booked my safety course for next week with Learning Curves :D

Sorry to hijack your post Flameboy, welcome btw and congrats on the M1! I got mine today :) Anyhow, I'm just curious, dlewis which insurance company is your wife with? Does she have a G license and how old is she? (don't take that question the wrong way btw ;) )

Hey guys/gals I've been with this forum for a while now and I thought I'd save the introduction for when I actually have the ability to ride a motorcycle... which is today! :D Anyhow my name is Kevin. See you around the forums! I also forgot to mention, I live around Warden/Danforth Rd.

I'm just curious, with all of these dangerous drivers, would it be beneficial to have a camera on when you're riding?

Hey I found the area, the site for the bike shop is http://109cycle.com/ and there is a coin-op car wash right there.
