    Duke 890 or MT09

    With the 790 did you have to pay for the quick shifter and suite of electronic goodies? Confirmed with the dealer 890 needs a tech/track pack to the tune of $900 for wheelie control, quick shifter, full electronic suite of features that while I haven’t had on previous bikes seem odd to pay for...

    Duke 890 or MT09

    I did see the fuel economy favours the 890 in reviews but both make do with a 14L tank so I wasn’t too concerned. Who doesn’t love stopping to fill up …🤷‍♂️

    Duke 890 or MT09

    Honestly that was the more explanation than I expected! I think you’ve covered everything I’m very mechanically inclined so never that worried about working on it myself, been an auto mechanic at dealers for 10+ years. The Duke is looking better as we go, yammy dealer quoted me without tax...

    Duke 890 or MT09

    Adjustable handlebars and foot pegs from factory or as accessories? I know the Duke advertises handlebars but hadn’t seen it for the MT-09 Or is it SP specific? I won’t argue the triple sounds better then the twin

    Hardly Used or Abused ?

    Could try a carfax, bikes are hit and miss if they will show up and likely not all the way back but might get something if it was registered in another province in the last 10years? Or see if the guy you bought it from knows which province it came from and do a single inquiry with there MTO

    Duke 890 or MT09

    Duke R and SP are a tad outside the planned budget, interest rates are a factor there Plan to put finance the minimum with either brand and KTM new is 1.99% Yamaha is 6.49 for the same term Used would be 10% pretty easy But so far 50/50 from you guys 🤨

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    I'll take a look I didn't go past the post I was sent! Good catch if that's the case, she's just excited to get a bike and jumping on anything that looks cool but is affordable I'm pushing her to a naked cb300, mt03, z400 she works local and would definitely benefit from the seat height. Edit...

    Is a working neutral position light a safety inspection requirement?

    Having safetied a few bikes and many cars, it seems clear if the bike is registered as an SM and originally had a neutral indicator it is required to work With that said hypothetically, I've safetied lowered cars (they're a fail since 2016ish) for friends and family I knew were NOT selling, and...

    Gsxr-600 not a SS?

    I was talking to a buddy at work who mentioned looking at a gsxr-600 for his wife, apparently cheap insurance, didn't add up but he said they're listed as a sport touring, atleast with his insurance. I've looked at getting a 600 before but insurance held me back, 25, M2 (getting M in May) had...

    Thoughts on armoured shirts/hoodies

    I'm looking for something new, I've got a few jackets that work well across most temperatures but they're all obviously motorcycle jackets. Looking for something more casual I see a ton of hoodies and plaid style shirts with Armour, and Kevlar in the elbows and shoulders, and spine. I'm only...

    $500-ish helmet recommendations

    Hey all, I've seen quite a few helmet questions lately and figured I'd add one more. Looking for a new helmet preferably under the $500 mark and IF possible from royal distributing (I've been acquiring gift cards 👍) but can go elsewhere as there's a jacket I like too. Currently wearing an ICON...

    It's end of season, but somehow there's way to many over priced bikes out there $500 more then a new 2021 https://www.kijiji.ca/v-street-cruisers-choppers/city-of-toronto/2019-suzuki-sv650-with-tail-case-shoei-helmet-and-passenger-he/1589557403 Edit: I actually did message them, they said...

    https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/953734971898516/ A rebel 500 for 10K ... because it's got accessories? Maybe try the bike before dropping thousands. Also single seat on it, comes with passenger backrest, that just seemed funny to me 🤷‍♂️
