What about an SV1000? Used prices are similar to the 650, insurance is similar (if it's not based on the CC's), but lots more power and similar get up and go to an inline 4 - 600 cc. It looks identical to the 650 so no one is going to know what lies 'under the hood.' If theft is an issue GSXR's...

Haha, yeah so true.

Commuted for 4.5 years in Los Angeles on a motorcycle, 50 miles to work and 50 miles back home (!), splitting lanes the entire time. Never went down, had lots of close calls of course. No one EVER opened a door on me (as is commonly thought), or threw anything out the window. Some idiot would...

First bike CC's is always a hot topic, but I think most would suggest a first bike in the 250-500 range, and even a v-twin 650-800 (just not an inline 6). But a lot of it depends on your height and weight as well. For a larger guy or gal, a 250-300 is underpowered and they would outgrow it...

Great suggestions... I ended up taking our SUV to the beach with the family and borrowed a season pass from a friend, so problem solved. However I did see a few bikes parked there and looked pretty closely at them but didn't see a parking pass anywhere on them. Maybe security cross references...

So I was thinking of taking the bike to a Provincial Park to go to the beach, but the day pass permits are those plastic rear-view mirror hangers. Has anyone parked in a Provincial Park with a bike and where did you put that parking permit? It seems like it would stolen right quick if I simply...

Good to hear that there are others with reasonable insurance rates! I hope companies like TD don't start blacklisting sportbikes like Jevco (where I got a crazy high quote from) does. It seems like manufacturers would also be interested in keeping insurance reasonable to sell bikes... Once I'm...

Insurance for sportbikes is outrageous in Ontario, but since I turned 40 earlier this year I thought I would check out TD's insurance rates on the 600cc bikes for an "mature" guy like me. Well needless to say I was pretty shocked when TD came back with a quote of $726 on their website. They do...
