Have you ridden a street triple? Ergonomics are very similar but slightly more comfort oriented than a street triple. I've ridden a cb650r a few times and have a street triple. I've sat on a trident, that's it. If anything it's a street triple light. Slightly more relaxed rake/trail, I can flat...

I'm not really in a rush to sell but at some point I'm going to put my 2015 Street Triple RX (with the Daytona rear subframe and matte silver paint) purchased from GP Bikes with just over 14k km on it. It's my old bike that my wife took over shortly after I got it. These days she'd like...

A shadow definitely isn't fast, but at just under 500 lbs, a nearly square bore:stroke and lb-ft:hp they feel reasonably peppy up to about 80 km/h. It's only really at highway speeds and above that I could see what you mean about ~50hp/lb-ft not being fast enough. But again the power delivery is...

In my opinion if you liked the cbr650f and are considering a Vulcan, try out a Shadow 750. It's in your price range, not a "huge Harley ", super customizable for whatever look you want and a Honda so you are already familiar with brand related quirks. Crazy comfortable and reliable, in...

Have you ridden a current gen goldwing? If so how do they compare? Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

Do you use pledge on the bike bodywork? Does it give good results? I use the Honda stuff on more things than I thought I would. Its great even for things like wheels. Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

I've been using the Honda spray polish for years but at one point it was out of stock for so long it seemed to be discontinued. I had heard from others about the Original Bike Spirits branded version being very similar and gave it a shot when I was low. I am now running low on the OBS version...

I used to do the lay a wet papertowel over it method. Not bad. Slow and messy. These days if it's really buggy I mist it with invisible glass, give it a moment for the foam to go away, then wipe down with a microfiber. I then follow up with a spray polish. Either Honda's or another company...

Whoops nevermind.

I've used them before. If all you want is a quick hot fire for boiling water, use the thinnest dry fuel you can find and feed it as required. Nothing thicker then the tip of branches or around a wooden match stick. Quick prep and hot fire albeit that doesn't last long and great for boiling...

This. When they upgraded to the six speed they essentially decreased the width of all gears to make space for one more. My guess is they either changed the heat treat parameters (i.e. decrease hardening depth for more durability as long as sufficient depth for surface hardness remains) and/or...

Is the certificate just to get a transaction done or do you want a proper inspection? If the former as long as there is a motorcycle mechanic available, a Canadian Tire will be able to do the inspection and issue certificate. Make sure you call and confirm. I hear it is becoming more rare than...

They are legit and as you noticed Japan based. I bought a Brembo component from them when I was doing a master cylinder upgrade. They had the best price I could find by a fair margin even after considering very reasonable (and quick) air shipping costs. I'd shop with them again if they had what...

I'll look both up and give them a call. Thanks! Have you had anything wrapped at either? Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

Sorry to piggy back but does anyone know a wrap place for various fairing pieces to be wrapped somewhere in Barrie or newmarket to anywhere in between? Fairings are off the bike and I'm in no rush. Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

That reminds me. I've known more than one person living downtown in a condo to rent a small storage unit to store their bike as a garage. It was never allowed. All storage units like these have no vehicle stipulations likely due to fire risk. And even though they were never caught because they...

You move to a standalone property where you can actually have the privacy and security to not have the same risk of theft of parking in a communal lot. Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

I've definitely seen it in the past on both fortnine and gp bikes. If they don't currently have it in stock, I bet gp would be glad to order it for you. I've ordered Oxford product from gp bikes directly in the past because it was not on their website. Smooth and easy transaction. Sent from my...

The Oxford Beast is one of the better moto lock and chain combos. Has an uncommon lock/key design so your typical lock picks won't work. Highly unlikely to be picked as a result. Design (size and material) makes it so it's ultimately easier to cut the chain than the lock. Chain links are 22mm...

I can't speak for all fairings from China but in the aprilia crowd, rsv4 fairings from China come with little to no complaints. Many people with the Tuono like to do the rsv4 tail swap and some the belly pan as well. Multiple people on forums have reported no issues with fitment and there are...
