Wait, let me get this straight... you're taking on the role of the good-guy, defending all the noobs who'll possibly get "called-out" on future group rides and possibly have hurt feelings about their lack of skill? Thus you feel justified in your [insulting] argument against Brian P.? Wow...

????? I used to believe that if Honda motorcycles weren't "the best," then they were finished more nicely or had better reliability. ...and I was wrong. All Japanese manufacturers have had problems from time to time.

I don't think that a lack of funds will be an issue for Gene and Neda, now or in the future... :rolleyes:

It must be nice to have that kind of financial freedom, ($$$$$$). That being said, the best part of a long ride/trip for me is coming home... as humble as it may be. The blogs are great---have a good time out there! :)

I think you're just like the salesmen you're complaining about. What's the point of a forum like this if you refuse to name the dealerships, (-despite repeated requests)? Just trolling?

For some reason, Suzuki always seem to sell their bikes cheaper. And I could be wrong, but I believe Newmarket Suzuki undercuts all the other Suzuki dealers as well...? Either way, I think MOP and all the Honda dealers are at the mercy of Honda Canada when it comes to pricing.

I'm surprised that Rocky never called you back. Always seemed like a nice bloke to me. Anyway, I've only dealt with Hans, and if I ever buy another Yamaha it will be from him, (-a great guy!!). My buddy bought an R1 from him and it was a very positive experience. He's fun to be around...

? My experience was the opposite. I bought my 1000RR back in '07 from Scott, (-he is still there, too). It was by far the "easiest" purchasing experience I've ever had for a motorcycle.

Why not consider the FZ1? Personally, I like it better than the Ninja. If I were in your shoes I'd go for Serialize's 2010 bike, (bought new last year). http://youtu.be/tQJWw6PgZno

My 2002 FZ1:

+1 GSXR 750 is a great bike.

Congrats!! I've only heard good things about Ken Livingston [sp?] at GP Bikes for service.

There are also semi-faired nakeds out there as well, (FZ8 and FZ1), which provide wind protection and are great all-round street bikes. As for user-friendliness, I believe pretty much all Japanese sportbikes are friendly if you're riding at or near legal speeds. The faster you go, the more you...

The 749 is a neat looking bike for sure--congrats if that's the way you go. I can't make any claims about a Ducati motor's flexibility, but most Japanese bikes have motors that can handle different riding situations, (-but you don't want to lug them around at 3000rpms, either). You're in...

For my money, it would be the GSXR750, (-the 848 is nice, but is it $6000.00 nicer?). If you're doing a lot of track days, any 600 would be ideal---but the 750 doesn't cost that much more, (-I think Snow City has new 2011's for 10,500), and handles similarly. * * * If you want...

This might be old news, but I was at BMW Toronto the other day and was told they've split ways with the Piaggio Group, ("it wasn't a good fit for us"). Does this mean that GP Bikes will be picking-up the Aprilia brand? Anyone in the know?
