    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    This seems to fit the thread..... $16k for a 1981 CB900F?!? Does it have $10k in cash stuffed in the seat?

    Used bike online listings.

    My favorite is the ads you can tell are poorly written and photographed on purpose but you can also tell they are legit in your area. You just know their spouse told them to sell the bike, they didn't want to so they post a lousy ad and then say "See, Honey? It just isn't selling. I guess...

    Long lived high mileage rides

    I had a buddy put 200,000km each on back to back VTX1800's and then did it on a Yamaha Raider. A guy from the Ride for Sight retired his Yamaha Venture 1300 with over 300,000km last year or the year before and replaced it with another one with low miles - now that is high praise for a bike...

    What happens if KTM goes bust?

    Talk to any Victory owners. They went through the same thing.

    Anyone riding a W800?

    Anyone here currently own or have owned a Kawasaki w800? What are your opinions about the bike? Likes and dislikes? What is the most KMs you've done in a single day? I've been wanting one since before we could get them in Canada. It might be time.

    Padded motorcycle riding shorts

    When I wanted underwear for riding I went to the experts, the Ironbutt Association. You can't get IBA riders to agree on much, but almost everyone agrees that LD Comfort are the BEST undies. No pads, no seams, just four way stretch fabric that wicks sweat and will not crease. I have a pair...

    Toronto Motorcycle and Powersports Show - Feb 14-16

    I don't remember what I paid for mine but can confirm if you have a set you can still hear your helmet comm with them in.

    Iron Butt routes

    Doing back to back rides is listed as an SS2000 but IIRC the IBA won't certify "advanced rides" until you've completed one of the two "entry level" rides, either the SS1000 or the BB1500. I wouldn't recommend doing back to back rides toanyone doing these rides for the first time. A lot of...

    Iron Butt routes

    I've done two IBA SS1000 rides in Ontario. The route I did was Peterborough, Pembroke, North Bay, Timmins, Sudbury, Toronto and back to Peterborough with fuel stops for receipts in those places. It took 20hrs to complete and that was with a solid 30 min break around 4pm for my only real meal...

    Canada only 1 week big trip suggestions?

    Cape Breton is a personal favorite of mine. Have done it three time and would happily go back again. I'm considering aside up to Thunder Bay as a possible trip, but that's more of a long weekend than a week long trip.

    2025 Newfoundland

    I rode Newfoundland back in the late 90s. The pavement is rough and will wear your tires. A friend rode Labrador with the intent of taking the Ferry to NFLD like you're planning. He was on a Yamaha Venture. It was mostly gravel and very rainy and he ended up crashing. The bike went home on...

    Bluetooth, where to start!

    So I'm hoping to get a GPS in the $400 range and a headset in the $250 range. It's looking like Zumo for the GPS is the crowd favorite but then it's a matter of which model? As for the headset sounds like Sena and Cardo are the two best, but again, so many models to choose from. It's all...

    Technophobe wants Bluetooth

    Mods please delete. This is a duplicate question I forgot I asked a week or so ago. Oops!

    Bluetooth, where to start!

    So I'm old school and up to now have managed to get around using paper maps or pulling over to check my phone, memorizing a part of my route and going again. I'm thinking about finally getting a proper GPS that will be wired to the bike so I have unlimited power. My question is, what do I get...

    Super Sonic MiniGP Endurance Race. Lombardy Ontario, October 8th

    This looks like a hoot! So they're just racing heavily modified dirt bikes? I can't seem to find much info on the CMSBK site or on the school site other than it says they're "mini" race bikes and that they are provided by the school.
