    Ready Honda/Suzuki/Yamaha

    hey everyone, I'm not a new member, but I'm still a motorcycle virgin (so to speak... I have GM2, but never rode any motorcycle for 2~3 years since my MSF). I'm just 'window shopping' for a new bike as an opportunity rose that would allow me a bike. So I'm researching ahead (sort of). I want...

    How to go from a 250 to a 600?

    Hey OP, if you want something sporty but not supersport, and is comfortable for commuting/touring at decent distance, why dont you try the Honda CBF600S (or something like that). I saw an article on Toronto Star during the summer and from what i can tell...it's on my dream list; it has...

    Dual-sport versus Sport

    lol you have same name as me XD hehe I would go with others and say it depends on where you will ride more. for me, i'm in north york and i plan on just using the bike as commuter from home to campus and back...so ninja 250 or 400 would be sufficient enough. but if you live near like...yea...

    Tons of respect to any riders who ride downtown Toronto!!!

    downtown core ..crazy chaos of traffic with all the brown ppl and their taxis, politicians and their premium cars, b.i.t.c.h. TTC drivers, and random tourists that jaywalk whenever and wherever they please....commuting to campus is hell BUT... for me, it's the north york area that's giving me...

    **** YOU MT-pleasant......

    Re: FUC* YOU MT-pleasant...... i just passed my MSF, but still fuzzy about WHERE the motorcyclists are allowed to park.... i thought we can park anywhere as long as it's those pay-on-the-side-of-road thingy...and anywhere on the side of road that's allowed by time limit....(i even saw a bike...

    jevco ...oh damn....

    thanks for the suggestions, everyone... here's my result: called Paul South and he said "you gotta be 21 and over to be insured. if you do, it'll be 2000/yr for liability-only. StateFarm: this lady gave me a quote of $197/month for....some mix of motorcycle+life...

    jevco ...oh damn....

    @jonnie yea i've looked at it several times. i thought calling jevco was one-stop action but they're like "here's the list...choose" and i'm like...omg, there's so many! lol right! i'm 20, i have G license (driving since 16), i have clean records on driving (no tickets).... i have M2, finished...

    Is being nervous on a bike normal? Or a sign to get off lol

    i feel same too. i've rode CBR125R majority of the time (like...90%) at RTI's MSF course. i just want a casual commuter bike so i'll be fine w/ 125. actually, reason is i'm broke so i want minimum insurance cost too lol. i thought 125 would be toooo small/weak for my adrenaline-seeking...

    Attach helmet to bike or carry at all times

    i would leave it on bike (or rather, secured on bike). i'm a student, so i wouldn't want to carry a big helmet wherever my lectures are, it's already heavy with my bag...but i guess, if you rent a locker, you can put it in there....
