Hi All, I've got a brand new never opened ARAI SAI Dark Tint Shield for sale. I have the pro-shade system on my helmet already so have no use for this anymore. $60. See attached pics or send me pm with any questions! Bert

Apologies all for this. When I first started it I used the "check similar threads" button but nothing really came up. I thought it was strange as I thought it would be a common enough thread, but then again, it could be that I'm the only fool around to ask such questions. I'll do better...

So I'm looking for a new bike, my first, in the 300~500cc class. From what I understand ABS is now becoming more and more important from a regulatory standpoint and almost all bikes *ahem R3* offer it as an option. My question is should it be a deal breaker if I find a bike without it...

Well said. +1^10000

I'm trying to decide between these two but reviews have not helped me decide a clear winner for me yet. As such I turn to all of you for your learned experience and opinions on the following! :eek: Highway riding is pretty important for me though I understand the CBR with it's single engine...

Thank you all for your insights (some hilarious). I figured as much based on comments but was fishing for anything glaring based on where they were being manufactured etc. If I can find one, I suppose Ural is the way to go. :p Thanks guys!

Anybody have any thoughts on reliability of a Honda bike versus a Yamaha bike? Are they pretty much the same?

Thank you all for your insight and advice! You have all given much to think about! :eek:

Hi Brian, thank you for this. Would it be correct to say that a bike cannot be registered without a safety cert? If a seller of a used bike is not willing to certify, then I would have to find a way to get the bike down to a place for certification before I can ride? Am I missing something...

Apologies if this is not the proper place for this. What constitutes a "Motorcycle Certification" in Ontario and what does it mean i.e. Does it mean the bike is perfectly safe to ride? Does it point out any areas that need to be fixed? I checked out the buyer's guide post and though was...

Nice, thank you! Were Yamaha FZ6Ns sold here in Canada?

Anyone know if Yamaha or Kawasaki have made any sport/naked bikes in the 500cc~ish class post 2000s? :confused:

LMAO. I live between Finch and Steeles on Yonge ... don't know what that is. If you tell me the side of Yonge on which I live makes a difference, then it'll be time for me to curl up in the fetal position. :D :eek:

Hi All! I'm looking to get my first bike. I have my M2 and am thinking about starting at no more than 500cc until I can build up some skills and cred. What should I be looking out for when shopping around for insurance? Any providers that are better than others? I did my M1 Exit with Rider...

I have no idea. I just live here. :p My name is Bertland and I'm looking to get my first bike. Along the way I'll have tons and tons of undoubtedly stupid questions but please bear with me as I come up the learning curve! Thank you all in advance and I hope to gain some valuable insight and...
