She's been well cared for, oil changed every 3,500kms or end of season, whichever came first. Has some upgrades like newish Battleax tires, ect. Some scratches on the side fairings from teaching my gf to ride, all at-stop drops. No accidents...

Got the tires shipped in from Pete's to Cycle World Superstore in scarborough since it's right by my workplace. It cost a little over 200$ just to change them, is that standard price or did I get ripped off?

Thanks guys! W/ your advice and a bit of research I'll try out PR4s. Seems like they'll last for commuting and I found a set on sale at Pete's online.

Budget is pretty open. As long as I'm getting good value out of what I paid, I'm happy. With regards to riding type, I mostly ride to work (401) and do weekend trips, not super far so far.. My neck and back are still getting used to SS riding.

I just got an R6 about a month ago and need to replace the tires. It's my first time buying tires for a SS, previously I rode a 250r. I got some suggestions at Forks of the Credit this weekend - one was to go with Dunlop Roadsmart 3s since they'll last longer. Any advice on tires you've...

I'm in too - just shoot me a msg with deets

I appreciate all the comments guys. Anyone have any suggestions for a good set of tires for a 2008+ ninja 250r that won't kill my budget?

So I dropped in at the shop the other day and the mechanic noticed some cracks in the tread of my tires. He suggested replacing them which I assume I should do asap. I've added some links to the images below. I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing? What caused this and...

My old landlord was about a 5 minute walk from Y&E and he has two motorcycles in his garage. He was always open to me parking in his yard. If you want I could hook u up with his #. He's a really good guy, I doubt he'd charge you something ridiculous like $120 a month

Thanks guys, I really appreciate all the help and PMs as well! I'll take some good pics along the way and throw em up in a thread when I get back.

Hey guys, So I'm planning a trip out to NYC with the girlfriend. We're going to take a route through Niagara Falls down to Allentown the first day (stopping in at Letchworth Park for a break). The next day we'll be going in to NYC for a few days. I'm pretty worried about the driving in...

Traffic Jam on the 400 between Toronto & Barrie. It was my first time seeing a Tesla Roadster so I asked the guy what kind of car it was. He commented back saying that's a sweet 600. I laughed and told him it was just a 250 ninja. He replied with "Damn, I would have never known!"

Thanks for the advice guys, I'll clean it and inspect it for seized links for now. If rust becomes a recurring problem i'll probably replace it mind you.

So I moved to a new apt building and had to park outside a few times. Long story short, my bike got rained on and now it's rusting. My mechanic advised me about changing it before it rusted through. Annnnnd... I didn't lol. So now my bike's been parked for the last week since I went to NY...
