    Launched today, not on sale yet. I am guessing upwards of 1200$ +

    Anyone riding a W800?

    I tried both w800 and Bonneville. I liked the riding dynamics and handling of Bonneville more and went with it. Found a pristine 2012 Bonneville 865 with 1200km for a steal...been a happy camper ever since. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

    Leafs

    We were there riding yesterday. They have started changing colors and falling but I would wait a bit more for full swing.

    The Ontario Tail of the Dragon

    We did it couple of years back , its ok, nothing special. Calling it tail of dragon is a bit of stretch. I recall the stretch before Elliot Lake was pretty nice.

    Does the Garmin 396 just suck?

    I have a zumo 595. It's not the most intuitive device to work with, and the basecamp software has a steep learning curve but I haven't had issues with mine in terms of routing or guidance. Ofcourse, it will not tell you if a road is closed as it doesn't get live traffic feed.

    2024 Demo Days

    Got a call today from Maranello. They only have f900, f800 and r18 available. Not interested in any of those bikes, but I will still go. I am sure someone is going to not show up and I can take their spot. Looking forward to ride s1000rr or r12

    Dealer Demo Ride: "If you break it, you buy it!"

    I may be wrong but I have heard that even car dealerships claim car owners insurance if one of their service techs crashed or damaged or while it was in for a service. There have been few cases in the news

    Dealer Demo Ride: "If you break it, you buy it!"

    There was a new rider who kept stalling a vstrom and almost dropped it few times. I told the rep that I will go in the next round. And the next round was only me with a lead rider :)

    Dealer Demo Ride: "If you break it, you buy it!"

    When I attended Suzuki demo ride this week, they had me sign a disclosure which said that in the event of crash , claim could be made on riders insurance policy 😕

    2024 Demo Days

    I didn't try the back seat but both looked comfortable. I would take a GX if I was carrying passenger regularly, because of the electronic suspension.

    2024 Demo Days

    I did, GT has a slightly sporty position, GX is totally upright and neutral. I prefered GT more as I want sporty with my touring. Built quality wise, as well, I found GT more inline with the price. GX doesn't feel like a 21000 $ bike. No, this things goes from the get go, good low end torque...

    2024 Demo Days

    Demoed gsxs1000gx today at Sturgess. Pros: So much powaaaah! Buttery smooth engine, very comfortable seat and ergos. Electronic suspension is great with lots of adjustability. Mode A is snatchy but has instant power delivery. Couldn't tell much difference between B and C. Traction control...
