I've been riding for a couple years now and size/displacement is not an issue for me. Not to mention a 600cc bike is still over $5000 a year on insurance. Which is just not affordable. I guess I'm just wondering if buying new is worth the couple extra brand. I see that bikes dont depreciate...

I have a '96 ninja ex500. I'm looking spending around $3k but not sure where I should be heading. Close to being able to buy a new 300. I'd downgrade to a 250 or 300 as I don't care much about speed and I'd rather have ABS and newer technology in the bike. Just wondering what you guys would...

At 20 y/o and motorcycle training course I had an ex500 at just over $4000 a year. 3 years later It's half that but thats an amazing quote for your age/experience

My boss just drove the S1000R into the warehouse the other day. Jaw dropped to the ground. Such a beautiful bike

I'm curious. I only have my M2 but I currently ride a ex500. But are the restrictions for Honda. I've been interested in a cbr600 but want to test one. I'd wouldn't be buying new but would still want to test ride one

Being completely honest. If I were in the SUV and I did make the decision too speed away I wouldn't continue to drive like nothing happend. But I would do whatever I had to do to protect my family. Secondly, if I was for some reason on a large ride in the front of the group and I turned and...

Didn't even think about that. That's a good point and it would explain the biker doing a brake check. Stupid too do break checks in a car let alone a motorcycle though

My friend went from a 500 too a 1000rr and he seemed too enjoy the ride. Now mind you I took it out for a spin one day not use to the power, and when I went too pass a vehicle I actually popped the front wheel up twice. Needless too say my adrenaline was through the roof and I drove home 1 km/h...

The best thing for him too do at the time, which he most likely wouldn't of and didnt think of; would of been to roll his window down, apologize 10000000x, tell them you'll pay for the damages and then pull over and let all the bikers past. He may have been in the right but that doesn't mean...

Around 70 km/h

Russia, not even once. Hope the biker is ok but both of them are idiots. Although I did chuckle when the guy got out and checked his bumper

Picked up a 2000 Kawi EX500r for pretty cheap. Love it so far, just need to look around for some cheap insurance :P

It isn't the power I'm concerned about at all. I've ridden my friends CBR 1000rr around the city. Although I love the adrenaline, just being on a bike and riding is all I want too feel. There's nothing quite like it. It's cost that's my only problem. Insurance is about $350 cheaper on a 125...

I'd say near the top of the mountain it gets too 45 degrees. It's very steep hill. After reading all the comments I'm a lot more confident in getting a 125 then I was before. Thanks guys
