Hmm that sounds awesome. I gotta get my G asap haha. What do they intend it to be used for if not for work or shopping? I guess just casual transportation of things? Would be nice as a grocery getter :D Might try to get a minivan in that case or something. Whatever is easiest and cheapest...

I wish this was possible... Such a s***storm trying to juggle between the bike I want, and the bike I can afford to insure. Just constantly making phone calls and keeping a damn spreadsheet of rates etc... So annoying...

I actually only want a car to carry windsurfing stuff and my butt to beaches hahaha. Had a thread on the sidecar thing earlier. Ultimately seems like so much effort for a mediocre outcome for my specific need. I can probably get a construction van used for the price of a custom or pre-built...

The price tag of one suggests that yeah. Might be a little out of my price range when it comes to maintenance. I think having a KLR and supermoto would be kind of similar. If I have a second bike I'd likely want something more highway capable and gutsy. That being said, owning two bikes...

That sounds insanely cheap. I don't think I'd get a rate like that at 23 with 2 years experience though. I always thought Supermotos were expensive to insure because people always wreck them? I remember quotes for a DRZ400 were almost double what I pay for the KLR.

Is it really cheaper to insure a second bike? I've been gawking at the Husqvarna 501 and 701 but they are a little $$$$$ for me. Will probably end up going the Standard/Naked route.

My current bike is exactly 20 years old haha. Actually very reliable. Though KLR so guess that's why. Not so much a fan of modern bike looks. And the power of a modern 600 is just not something I am particularly interested in either. If I go modern it will be a naked of sorts like an xsr700 or...

Good call!

DROOL... God I will have to find one one day. When I have a proper garage that's actually where I live. What an absolutely special thing. Will probably stick to newer stuff for time being. Vintage sport bike dreams on hold for now :cautious:.

Got it. So, in sum, totally a bad idea in my circumstances. Thanks :ROFLMAO:

Yeah I remember reading that the engines were quite fragile on them in some cases, especially considering many were raced. Curious it there was a difference in reliability between the 400 and 600 though.

So I'm not a sport bike guy, but DAMN these are so beautiful. Seems they could be had for cheap-ish when they pop up. Anyone own one before? Thoughts on them regarding ride, reliability? i4 carbureted bikes seem terrifying to maintain. Tried an i4 recently (Katana 750) and was amazed how...

Sony A7ii was on a great discount recently. Something like $700 off.. Switched from M4/3 to that. Very happy with it! Might be overkill for hobby stuff though (I sort of shoot professionally?). I did pro work on Olympus EM-10mkii for years, great format, especially if you don't plan on doing...

Welcome! :) I'd definitely listen to what the others say here. I started last year, and was hellbent on getting a cafe racer because... Ae$tHeTic... Ended up on a cbr125 that I commuted on every day for the year and then sold for an upgrade this winter. I ended up riding and enjoying...

WOW!

I'm sure I would get cut off a lot less with a .50 on the sidecar.

Also, realized that designing a sidecar is kind of the only reasonable way to go. Just need to figure out how to design one on the cheap-ish side... Can't be spending thousands of dollars on it really... Seems the way to go in the city is brakeless, but still with suspension obviously. Then I...

Appreciate the honesty ?. Thought maybe rent there was better than downtown TO. Been window shopping online for some houses with garages... A slight job upgrade and I can be there soon... maybe... Re racing: I will reconnect for next spring! Going to be windsurfing the rest of this month...

You have a keelboat in oakville? Would love to crew on it :D. Just need to get out west more often. My work hours are annoying for evening racing (I work 11-7...) I'd totally move there if I could find affordable rent with a garage. Then I could get a car and forget about trying to have a...

I was just on the toilet thinking about this! Would also make my idea of commuting in the winter much easier. Bike would be more stable, and I would minimally have to use public transit which is a HUGE plus these days. Wonder if it's possible to make a removable sidecar... I know its a huge...
