well this is somewhat dependant on geography as well as the sellers attitude. in my experience the easiest way to do private sales is to take cash. if you want the vehicle after viewing and asking questions about maintenance etc. go with the seller to the mto, when you transfer the vehicle give...

Well it does fit the bill of hooligan bike and will wheelie in 1st and 2nd on throttle but the power up high is docile making it less likely to induce 3 digit speeds in unneeded places in my opinon.. as far as ins. i pay less than 1k per year, 800 and something if memory serves with TD.. late...

maybe an aprilia shiver? I love mine. 750cc twin, sporty enough to have fun but not to entice you to loose you licence,super cheap to insure, looks great.. (changing to 900 for this yr but 750s can still be found new or used). great bike and tons of fun to ride but as im sure someone will...

Try being 6' 135lbs. Even suits that are too baggy are too short and im not particularly tall. been thinking about switching from alpinestars to dianese but likely nothing but a custom will fit me. best of luck in your search, as others have stated riders choice would be a good bunch of folks to...

Congratulations on the bike and getting out on it. wish you many more rides in the future.. Stalling and running wide in corners at low speeds are 2 of the most common issues for new riders, both generally improve dramatically and quickly as you gain "muscle memory" and more importantly begin to...

was speaking with a tech (car & heavy equipment but i would assume bikes are similar) about this not long ago. apparently they are legally obligated to return almost everything other than warranty/recall and occasionally ins. unless otherwise stated. The just of it is that the parts are your...

Im aware the "er4n" was only produced for the Japanese market (cool bike) but i believe the ninja 400r was branded "er4f" . Not a Kawasaki expert though so i suppose i could be mistaken.

I'm not really sure. i know ins. is a mess and it likely depends on the ins. company and how they interpenetrate it. i believe the technical name for the bike (what you would likely find written on the manual etc) was ER4f or something. so they may not see an r... that being said i was shopping...

yeah Possibly, i am around 6ft and sat on an acquaintances rc390 track bike and didn't feel cramped but you've got 4 inches on me and im built like a broom stick.

Yup. the bike was marketed as ninja400r.

The Kawasaki ninja came in a 400 or 500cc variant in different years. The Honda cb500r is newer as far a design goes and comes in a naked version the cb500f. KTM rc390 is only 10cc smaller and arguably more sporty than others listed. My advise if it's your first bike would be to find a couple...

Agreed but the problem is what experience you will be advertising for. With effectively no off track activities other than honda rides and a couple guys doing FMX jumps you have to sell only the racing. don't get me wrong it's great or i wouldn't be going every year but with an average of 3-4...

Seems we are already half way there. Was there today and I didn't see any suzuki rides leaving, only the honda group. maybe they were there and i missed it?.. also a serious lack of vendors and entertainment not just the BMW folks that decided not to show up. The grids were decent sized and some...

well looks like it will be... although the release seems to include everything from 250 singles to the honda 500 twins. seems like a wide range of bikes likely leading to big grids but in an entry level class the possibility for even larger discrepancies in pace (am i wrong? i'm not a racer just...

From what i gather VOS is only selling aprilia not the whole piaggio line (vespa,Guzzi,etc). Corsa sells everything and the smaller shop compared to VOS may attract a market segment that would shy away from the huge VOS showroom. Aprilia dealer network has been lacking in size if nothing else...
