if you're settled on heated grips you can also find kimpex heated grips for about $30 at cdn tire. not sure how they compare to the better ones, but mine have 2 settings and they have no lack of heat. the only problem is I find the high setting WAY too hot, and the low setting slightly too low...

I didn't mean to imply that I'd be shifting at 9k. just that the engine doesn't hit a wall at 6500. I currently shift at 3-4k so I don't see the 9k limit as an issue. clearly every rider is different. it wouldn't be GTA if insults didn't fly but stating that anyone that chooses this bike is...

just coming in to see some thoughts on the comparison between the 650 and zx6r. not sure what's going on here. you're all stars ok? you all know everything there is to know about riding. just hug it out now ok?

6500 is the redline. it goes to 8 or 9k limit. still low but not that low.

That's the problem, there is no comparison. all 3 are very different bikes. if they were similar it would be easy to knock one out. shiver just seems like a fun machine, but I imagine myself going to Algonquin on it and that's a joke. no way it would deal with that situation baggage wise. bmw...

I have heated grips ronnie and use them on occassion. Youre right theyre great in a pinch. But compared to good heated gloves theyre not even a blip on the radar. The heat is uneven. Sent from my SGH-I896 using Tapatalk

the f650gs is still tempting me.. that and the shiver ... but I'm imagining the 700 with 2 givi trekker sidebags, the tank storage, and a tenere tent strapped to the back and I feel giddy.. good things it's not out till june. lots of time to argue :D

ebay? not local, but US prices usually with $15 or so usps

I posted a link to ash on bikes above.

BMW F650GS was on the list as it's an 800cc lower seat height version of the 800gs and yes, similar price, but the trunk on the nc700 is really a deciding factor. not something most motorcyclists would concern themselves with, but my bike gets used for exploration, I never know when I'm going to...

you might find a heavier leather jacket is all you need and better than a heated jacket liner. I have both. it really depends, and consider when off the bike the jacket won't work (without battery) so you might end up cold if you're relying on heated gear and thin textile ontop. so far this...

so again, I'm curious. this bike is 0.8 seconds slower than a zx6r to reach 100km/h so it's heavy, slow and not fun? tough crowd... tough crowd. ya scooter is cheaper and has more space, but it's a scooter. I don't want to ride something that looks like a scooter...

Definitely getting it. it might not be the fastest thing on the road, but for commuting, it doesn't matter. love the looks, love the tank storage, and the people that have ridden it say it's torquey. I have no doubt 90% of motorcyclists will not be interested in this bike and will snub it and...

Anyone would be stupid to pass up that $500 ex-500. you could part out 20% of that bike for more than that. a little work and that thing would be fine. new battery, new clutch plates, that looks like better condition than mine and for less $$ than what I got mine for, and by no means do I...

Jealous. I like the idea of the vestible as I don't like leaving my bike unattended while camping. all it would take is one curious kid and I might have a broken bike on it's side and no way home.. I'm really good at talking myself into buying things :D

There's always an excuse not to ride. changed my shock after winter riding last year. yes, it required a butane torch to loosen, most likely due to salt. no the world didn't end.

got my ex500 for $1060, that's really the wonderful thing, they work well & you can get deals on them. going on 2.5 years, she runs as well as when I got her. a 'beat up' ex500 will still run fine so don't discount anything that doesn't look new... if the price is right and you know the...

Toasty warm finger tips. Gerbings G3. read reviews for a few days on all the gloves out there. the gerbings are the most expensive but you get what you pay for. all the others have uneven heat. gerbings heats all over. plus, if they break, you send them back, they fix em for free or send you a...

Really happy to see so many people still riding this year. it seems like last year everyone was harping how the tires would slide off the ground if it wasn't october. this year I'm seeing bikes everyday. glad the weather is holding out. most days I'm not even using my heated liner. wearing it...
