op here. yes i mainly started this to air my disappointment at Yamaha. I really wanted to get an FZ07 with abs and had high hopes for 2016. I have written to Yamaha several times asking for them to offer it like in other markets. Still hoping they come out with an FJ07 as i expect that would...

lol. motoGP stars. There just no point in arguing it i suppose. The uber skillz anti-abs crowd will always in every situation be able to out perform anyone else on an abs bike. And for that matter they probably do not even need safety gear or even a helmet. After all, uber skillz so they wont...

lol. only took 6 posts before the "learn to ride" abs haters jumped in. So you think everyone with abs just clamps down hard on the brakes to stop? Can one not still threshold brake on an abs bike? If anything it safer to practice threshold braking on an abs bike. As when you activate abs you...

so i had high hopes from Yamaha for 2016. I realize it is still early but they have some 2016 models on their website. And still no ABS as an option for North America. WTF! it not like they have to make a special model or something just bring the same bikes you offer EVERYwhere else here. All...

starting to remind me of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQFKtI6gn9Y monty python the argument

cool California lane split vid. Saw several times of car doors starting to open as the bike went by. but the WTF!! moment was at 4:58.. a motorcycle on a trailer being towed .. the bike laying on its side on the trailer? wtf

would love to legally be able to lane filter. Here when the hwy is a parking lot bikes will filter and / or use the shoulder. As someone put it when its 30C out and you are wearing half a cow, i will filter. atleast bc got some things right. Increase of highway maximum limits. Some parts can...

I have always did the hard break in. The first couple hundred km keep the revs around 60% of max. A few bursts above that occasionally. Vary the revs with up down the rev range and lots of engine braking. I am following what the Honda manual says for the most part. "During the first 500km of...

if any are interested in this stuff. there is a cool site that i check regularly for road conditions http://images.drivebc.ca/bchighwaycam/pub/html/www/index-Northern.html tons of hwy cams showing just about everywhere. clicking on the cam shows a little map so you can see where it is. For...

that is pretty cool and about time. but like you said co$t is crazy. $27.50 to go from airport to union! yikes. The Canada Line here is part of the "subway" system so it only costs price of bus fare. (plus an extra 5 bux airport tax if leaving from airport station) so max it would cost would be...

Another cool item and something Toronto should have by now. There is the "skytrain" (Subway) ..the "Canada Line" that connects downtown Vancouver to the Airport in Richmond. Get off a plane at airport, jump on Canada Line and in 25 min you are downtown. agree about housing pricing being...

Nothing wrong with "The North Shore" aka North Vancouver. It actually nice over there. But they get more snow being at the base of the mountains and more rain. Plus if you want to get anywhere else in "the lower mainland" there are only 2 ways by vehicle. The Lions Gate Bridge and the...

so to update. Picked up the new 2015 Honda CBR500RA on Friday March 27. Of course it now going to rain every day for the next 3 months it seems :) so here is pic of new bike and both bikes parked.

only rains once a year in Vancouver. Starts in November and ends in April :) but ya it can get that way during the above months. Weeks of rain and or cloudy and no sun. But do not get the temperature extremes of GTA with -50 winters and +50 summers. Those high temp high humidex GTA summers are...

back in my day a 350cc was a normal size and a 750 was a monster. My first bike was a 1971 Honda CB350 i got used in 1975 (i was 18 ) My go fast days are behind me (mostly :-) ) i try to keep it no more than 40kph over and usually 20-30 over. (here its 40 over and vehicle impound for 7 days if...

Hello Frozen GTA. Sorry you had such a miserable last few months this winter while we have had one of the mildest winters. (I am from TO so know how it is) Riding season this year never ended. I had a Honda NC750S and Yamaha BWS125 that i have changed this year. First up is i went with a new...

yes i have emailed Yamaha several times about why no ABS on most of their bikes. I am getting a new bike in a few weeks and am still torn about which way to go. I like the Ninja 300 and the R3 due to it being fast enough but also cheap insurance (here <400cc is really cheap compared to >400cc)...

hmm what to do.. a rashed 2014 Ninja 300 for 6k or a brand new one at dealer for 4500 http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/bnc/mcy/4893592193.html http://www.burnabykawasaki.com/motorcycle-new/KAWASAKI/2014-KAWASAKI-Ninja+300-cbea5334404638121e088e269db5865d.htm reason for selling .. to get bigger...
