Do you ride a lot OP? I would definitely park it in the shed but seems to me like riding was not exactly one of the priorities when you were looking for a place to rent. Maybe consider taking a year or 2 off since the situation seems to be a major PITA.

If I win the top prize, I'll buy it for you. My word is bond. But we can't give him asking. That would be a shame. Low balling is fun.

RC51 is a fun bike but I really wouldn't pony up that kind of money for a Hayden edition. To be of value for collectors you also need ultra low mileage and a genuine mint condition. If you just want to ride a unique bike maybe wait a bit and see if you can find a regular model? That is if...

Meh, same formula for 10 years with that guy. Needed fresh material. Maybe he's working on it.

RC51 should be at around $4,000 - $5,000. If it's the Hayden edition (aesthetic difference only) probably on the upper end of the scale. The seller is a joker. Also remember that it's a bike designed in the 90's. A bit outdated compared to the modern litre line-up. For $9,000 you can...

That’s most minors nowadays. All they care about is their “smart” phones and (anti) social media. Cracked everything! ;)

Once again. You can write whatever the hell you wish on the bill of sale. Whether you do it or no is your business. There are numerous threads on this and the morality and legality aspects of it. Do a search. Now, please let the OP have his thread back.

I occasionally check Canadian websites of the "Big 4" Japanese manufacturers for updates, releases and cancellations. It is interesting to see which company focuses more on which niche and who is more innovative. I would rank Kawasaki number 1 at the moment. They have an insane variety...

Yes, I'm aware that they use it, just not sure how much (especially for cars, that's the first time I hear of it actually). And as you can tell from your personal experience, it is so debatable, not certain how they can even justify it.

My god, he's not mass stealing lollipops from children, enough with the moral police. Everyone so friggin' righteous. Asking doesn't hurt. ... And do you guys think that dealerships are some sort of paragon of ethics? I have just recently double booked hotels on the same date by...

As mentioned by others, MT-09 (or FZ-09) for city, FJ-09 (Tracer) for touring. Very competitive pricing, especially for the naked. Small tank sucks on it for long distance though. With that said, one of my friends did a 6,000km Arkansas trip with me on it last year and he was fine...

This is not related to what OP is asking about. The discussion is about how do insurance companies value motorcycles. FYI - ServiceOntario has no clue what you paid for your used, privately purchased bike, therefore you can put whatever you want on the bill of sale and pay taxes based on...

Insurance companies often use the cost after depreciation value which is based on the MSRP with a certain percentage deducted every year; also commonly use market value guides (such as KBB or NADA for example). I am not convinced that Kijiji is used extensively as it is not reliable and does not...

Kijiji is by far the most popular platform for motorcycles, I don't even bother with anything else. Sold 2 in the last two months. It doesn't really matter what time of the years it is. If you come up with a reasonable price you will sell it. May take few days longer in winter but it will go...

So you're saying Talladega is not worth it all? I'm going first week of July. I'll send you an email.

All Kawasaki had to do is put FI on the Ninja 500 and update its fairings. Would last them another 20 years. Solid bikes, zero demand. Can pick them up real cheap if someone doesn’t care about the looks.

That I'm aware of, however not riding south this time. Taking a trailer. :) I would be still amused but I doubt the truck towing 6 bikes will be.

Thanks JB! I modified the day 1 and day 5 routes a bit to get rid of most of interstate and stay away from Atlanta. If you have any other pointers, I'm all eyes and ears. Is Stone Mountain worth checking out or is it all hype?

Parts for Italian Huskies are very expensive when OE. Fortunately there's a decent aftermarket. Not so many youtube videos and online help overall though. I'd say, if you are not afraid of a bit of wrenching then go for it. That would be an excellent dirt oriented dual sport as long as you...

I don't necessarily worry about what ifs but I do feel better with a friend or a group of riders, that I trust, when touring. I've already been in problematic situations that were resolved quickly and efficiently because I wasn't alone. I also don't tour to meet people (with that said, I have...
