Not COVID exclusively....more like a perfect storm of issues. These are unprecedented times (COVID alone lol). https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-16/shortage-of-new-shipping-containers-adds-to-global-trade-turmoil

I’m waiting. The issue is the shipping container shortage apparently. It sounds like there are now some bikes on the way over, so hopefully we will get our bikes soon (and dealers will actually have some to sell!). My delivery was supposed to be May but has moved to late May/early June. BMW are...

Well, guess I might reconsider the S1000XR then lol ?

Only as a 950 apparently. The 19” front isn’t appealing to me, but doubtful it would actually make much difference as far as my real world riding.

I did hear rumours of people who have had multiple replacement sets fail :(

Wonder if Peak is taking over KTM sales for that area? Really wish we had a dealer closer to the city!

I’ve had a couple (640 Duke, 560SMC, 1190 Adv), but none of them long enough to have a real opinion on reliability). The Duke had a weepy banjo bolt that the original dealer couldn’t seem to diagnose/fix, but I ended up taking it to another dealer that had a less than stellar reputation and they...

Yeah my issue is the closest/best option for KTM service (not so much where to buy). I’m not dead set on KTM either, although I do like their bikes. I’ve been completely loyal to GP, but a recent experience has put me off. Will be considering other options in the spring, so doing some research...

Would definitely consider Apex, but given I’m in Toronto the distance for service is less than ideal. Strange that we have a Husqvarna dealer closer than a KTM dealer!

The Ready website shows a couple 2020s, and they’re listed as a dealer on the KTM website.

Edit: looks like Hayes Lemmerz are not the same Hayes?

Interesting. I heard a rumour that the switch was due to Brembo refusing to brand as BMW. Even if they’re owned by a Brembo subsidiary they don’t promote it, which is odd. https://www.roadracingworld.com/news/shops-hayes-performance-systems/ They’re also a 2 piece design from what I hear? I...

I think they’re manufactured by Hayes. Not sure they’re associated with Brembo, but that’s great to hear! I did read about a recall for leaking calipers that had me concerned (not that Brembos haven’t had recalls lol)

She bungled the whole coronavirus issue from day 1 and should have been gone a long time ago

Would love to hear some feedback from riders as I don’t necessarily trust Google reviews!

Would love to hear more updates on this...reliability etc. Might be in the market for something new next year! Haven’t ridden an XR but heard there is still some vibration, seat isn’t the greatest, and I really really wish it still had Brembos! Need a test ride!

Have a ton of motorcycle magazines in boxes from over the years....Cycle World, Motorcyclist, Cycle Canada and more recent issues of Bike (UK). Not sure how many, but if you're interested, let me know and I can give you more details (still clearing out stuff from the basement!). These are a...

Brine trucks have been all over the place for the past few days. Going to need some decent rain to wash it all away again. Also, pretty significant amount of snow forecast for Thursday. Gah!!!!
