I got my m1 march of 2012 then took the safety course may of 2012. i learned a lot, i had no experience whatsoever with motorbikes, just bicycles. i picked up a 2011 ninja 250 right away. great bike to start off with and insurance is affordable as long as your driving record is somewhat clean...

Welcome & great choice! I had my m2 for a day when I picked up my bike lol. I would not have been able to last 3 years.

Welcome! What bike did you get?

Try Insurancehero.ca & ask for Tim.

welcome to the forum and welcome to the motorcycle world

Hey guys. A friend of mine made a Facebook group for ninja 250 riders in the GTA. If you want to share pictures or discuss anything at all regarding bikes then inbox me your Facebook name and I'll add you since its invite only.only request is that you own/owned a ninja 250. Any questions just...

I understand where the writer is coming from. I only have 1 year of riding under my belt. I believe the trick is to never put your guard down and expect the worst when riding. Thats how I made it through my first year. The ideal riding environment is not in the GTA with transport trucks...

front & rear stands. came with spools for 80$. they do the trick

No problem bro. Yea I wanna do HID's aswell and most likely the fender eliminator. I'm not sure about the windscreen, although it would look so sick. I probably wont do an exhaust either. My tires have been find and I rode the hell out of the bike for a beginner (8000km in around 7 months). I...

thanks for your inputs everyone. 2 deciding factors will be the insurance & I'll have to take it for a spin. I'm kinda thinking I'll stick with the 250 for at least another season. I love it. Just eager to get a ball-zee-er (how the $#%^ do you spell that word :p) bike with fatter tires. I'm...

Sorry I should have specified my first year on the 250 was 3000$. The quote i got on a 650 was 9000+ with jevco.

I got my Ninja brand new and I don't regret it. It didn't cost me much more than used. I'm not 100% set on new but preferred. I realize I can get a gsxr600 or an r6 or something around the price of that 500. But its the insurance that is the deciding factor. And it is significantly more for a...

I like knowing I have until 13000 to shift, although I get there pretty fast on the 250. I agree I should test drive it on a ride day before I make a decision. All the bigger sport & supersport bikes redline at 15000+. I just find 9000 abnormally low. Reason for getting this bike would be the...

Hey Guys, I'm considering upgrading from my 2011 Ninja 250 this spring/summer. Looking into the Honda CBR500R. Done a fair amount of research and there's really not that much out there. Bottom line is it's essentially the only bike in it's class (along with it's 2 Honda 500 siblings). My...

I'm also considering upgrading to the cbr500r...I wouldnt mind hearing your opinion on it. I think it looks amazing for the most part. Would be nice to jump up twice in power. However the one thing that turned me off of the bike was the redline starts at 9000rpm. I feel like I would hate that...

Congrats on the purchase bro. I bought a white 250 last year, the 2011 special edition. First year riding. I did the frame sliders and the tank pad aswell, nothing else. Love the bike and got the hang of it very fast. Its on a stand right now, I suggest you do the same to prevent wheel damage...

Congrats on the bike man! Ride safe and have fun!

I was in your same position a little while ago. I ended up going with the ninja. I rode a cbr 125 at the exit course and dont get me wrong it was fun and pretty peppy but you'll end up keeping the ninja for much longer (at least I hope I do) I've only had mine for a couple weeks now but I love...

anyone wanna meet in burlington or oakville for a ride?
