    Question for condo/apartment dwellers

    I'm considering getting a scott oiler so I can stop worrying about the chain so much. Doesn't matter rwhat time of day it is security patrols the garage pretty regularly. I've never gotten **** for working on my bike but I haven't tried a proper fluid change there yet.

    Is There Any Bike Out There That Can Give You 400+ km's On Tank Of Gas?

    I went from downtown Toronto to downtown Buffalo and back on a tank of gas on my VFR800 - I started and stopped at the same gas station and the low fuel light was on by the time I got back. So roughly 380km on a tank and I was going 140km/h more or less the entire time.

    Question for condo/apartment dwellers

    Where do you clean/lube your chain, change your oil and do other maintenance on your bike? I used to have a garage before I moved to Toronto, now I have a parking stall for my bike barely wide enough to stand in.

    Watch out for that heat!

    All it takes is some hot weather and people turn into morons.... I had 3 close calls today, bringing the total to 3 close calls this season. I was in a right turn lane, there was a younger girl in an old rusty pick up in the left lane that decided she changed her mind and tried to bolt into the...

    Paying cash for a used bike?

    When I bought my bike I sent the seller 3 Interac e-mail money transfers 3 days in a row and gave him the password when we met up and he signed over the ownership. It was cheaper than a certified cheque, you still have your paper trail and you don't even need to go to the bank.

    I picked up the VFR800 yesterday and did about 300km on it, honestly I haven't had a bike fit me so well in terms of ergos and my riding style. The V-Tec wasn't intrusive at all and it had more than enough power to keep me busy. Thanks for the suggestions!

    I checked out some VFR800's and I've tentatively picked up a 2009 black & white VFR800 which I'll hopefully be picking up in 2 weeks. I'm not a small guy, I'm about 210lbs at 5'10" right now, and the VFR just fits like a good pair of pants. Thanks again for the suggestions, I'll keep everyone...

    Apparently the 2006+ VFR800's refined the shift from 2 to 4 valves. This does look like the best all rounder for me at the moment, but crap are they expensive on the used market. I'll take a look at a few and see how I like them.

    I've considered the VFR and I've always been hesitant about the VFR for 2 reasons: 1- its almost 200lbs heavier than something like the f4i 2 - I'm really skeptical of the VTEC technology, theres alot more that can go wrong with a VFR than any other bike Maybe I should test one out before I...

    Oh hey So I just sold my bike, a 2011 Honda CBF600SA and before that I had middleweight cruisers. I've been riding for about 7 years now. The CBF was a really good predictable ride but it didn't really have much balls to it, and my biggest beef is that it's extremely hard to lean over. I...
