Saw this bike in the local Yamaha/Suzuki dealer. Funky looking bike, very large seat and balloon tires. Later on at home watched a few you tubes on it and it seemed to be fun. Next time at the dealer (Apr13) they let me take it out for a test drive. The bike is a 5 speed 200cc bike. Figured it...

thank you everyone for the advice and suggestions. I decided to try them out for 6 months. The collective is a branch of a motorcycle repair shop that has been around for a few years. The collective is attached to the repair shop (Rising Sun Motorcycles) The collective has all the tools and...

Appreciate the comments and suggestions. Going to stop by later today or Saturday to ask some questions. Since i live in an apartment building with limited space to do repairs i had been relegated to going to dealer for service work. While i trust my dealer, they are kind of expensive. I would...

what a strange comment. There are several threads on this board about dealers over charging and that folks should do the small stuff themselves. Seeing how the VMC is also a full service shop and is a few blocks from home i would be supporting a local shop. I have a Yamaha Smax scooter in...

So there is a motorcycle shop here that is a DIY / education shop. Looks interesting. Would love to learn how to do the more complicated items like valve clearance checks. "The Vancouver Motorcycle Collective is a shared garage space for two-wheel enthusiasts to become educated and work on...

but, how far away from home is this car wash? How you going to get it home after you wash it? You will now have to ride a (briefly clean) wet bike thru all the brine / salt dust to get it home.

meanwhile in BC “If it isn’t a record, it certainly is close,” said police after catching a distracted driver twice in just seven minutes on Tuesday. https://globalnews.ca/news/4084078/distracted-driver-caught-twice/

looks great. i was leary of the purported longevity / quality of the KTM brand. But maybe not an issue these days. Do not think i would trade my FZ07 for one but if the FZ was stolen or wrecked i would probably give this a serious look. Dealer here has 2017 models on sale for 4799 and here the...

glad i do not own a Suzuki. Would not want a bike that has a mode that breaks your engine.

ALMOST got the bike out early this year. I insure for 6 months. April 15 to Oct 14. But this past weekend was around 16c and it hit 21c in the Fraser Valley today. Ended up zooming around on the Smax scooter instead. Saturday did not warm up until the afternoon. Was still zero at 0700. The...

why is an 11y old R1 worth 10k more than a 2018 R1? MSRP on Yamaha.ca shows it at 20599 or did you mean 3000 (3K) instead of 30000(30k)? same for the Aprilia RSV? i see local dealers with brand new 2017's for 17k. why is a 2007 worth 2x as much? or do you mean 3.5k (3500) not 35k (35000)...

when i am heading into a new area, before i go i always "walk" the area in google maps street view. Especially if there are any turns i have to do, i street view land marks and intersections. One strange street view i saw one time was at a T-intersection. Two street view map cars in same spot...

i assume everyone saw this video of cop moving a left lane bandit? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZhdvl_P1Zc&feature=youtu.be

this sign should be on every highway

if that was true, i would find another dealer. Dealers here do not care where you bought the bike. I bought my FZ07 at a dealer in Port Moody, and did first service there. Second service i had done at a local Yamaha / Suzuki dealer. (would have bought here too but briefly, salesrep did not get...

just for point of reference. Dealer here has new 2017 300 for 3999 ... "$1500 Factory Mega Cash Rebate off the $5499.00 M.S.R.P. ....... OR...... Financing rates from 0.0% O.A.C.........If purchased before Feb. 28th ....Plus you will receive 1 extra year of Kawasaki Warranty for FREE."...

cool looking cars. I saw them up close. They only a few blocks from home https://www.google.ca/maps/@49.2701362,-123.1022818,3a,75y,192.09h,94.56t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sgedN9yuzlDSG-Yr9frB1Kg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en

i also vote for scooter for city. That is what i have and use. The Yamaha FZ07 for longer trips. Only keep it insured April 15 to Oct 14 I have a Yamaha Smax scooter 155cc i insure all year.

not sure if it an unreasonable price BUT what is with all the white smoke? coolant leak? https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/pml/mcy/d/2005-yamaha-r6/6449607698.html

i think he forgot a decimal point, should be $25.00 As in he should pay you $25 to haul this piece of crap to the junk yard. I think a mint condition 2009 Ninja may be worth his asking price of $2500. maybe. this has to be a joke. No farging way someone actually expects to get $2500 for this?
