    Good idea to buy a showroom motorcycle?

    So two dealerships have the bike I wanted to buy. The one closer to where I live has the bike in stock, and has been in the show room for a few months. So I guess many people has sat on it. And the battery and all the fluids have been sat in the bike since it is put in the show room (not sure...

    2016 motorcycle show question

    Can I purchase a motorcycle in the supershow on Jan 8th, 9th and 10th? I believe there will be some new models for 2016 Or the bikes are just for exhibition only?

    New rider with R6 from East York

    Nice bike! Is it true that a 600cc supersport rarely gets to 3rd gear in city traffic? I ride a ninja 300, and I really need to shift a lot.

    I bought a pair of medium size dainese gloves with knuckle protector not long ago. Got no problem at the beginning, but recently my land hand knuckle starts to hurt especially when i grab the cluth. Anyone experience the same thing with similar gloves?

    Winter riding

    Just got home too. Fingers are a bit cold. But I think it is a "not bad" temperature to ride, provided I was only wearing textile jacket, jeans, leather gloves, leather boots, and full face helmet with shield up.

    Ninja 300 to CBR 600 - New found love!

    Congratulations on the new bike! So it only takes you 1 year to outgrow the ninja 300? I just purchased a ninja 300 last week, and I found that the bike is a bit heavy when I need to walk the bike, back out from a parking spot, etc... Can't image what the 600 feels like....

    Do I have to winterize my motorcycle?

    I live in an apartment, so I park my bike in a underground parking garage. If I can manage to turn on the bike every week and ride it for a few minutes inside the garage (about 15-17km/h in second gear), can I skip the winterize process? or is it better to winterize it and leave her alone until...

    Thanks for the info, I think the size is fine. I got another question though. (About the motorcycle training course) Can I retake the course if I have passed M1 exit already?

    Motorcycle jacket question

    My cousin gave me a size 50 Daninese super speed textile jacket. When I out it on, the bottom of the jacket barely reaches my hip, just slightly reaching my waist. Is it too small for me in this case? I thought the bottom of the jacket should be at least cover the upper part of the butt?

    Honda CBR 125 or something with more.........

    I am also debating between the cbr125 and the ninja 300. My mind was set on the ninja 300 before the training course. But after the course, I am not too sure. Because I still don't feel like street-ready after the course, so I am starting to think maybe it is not a good idea to get a 300 when I...

    How long does it take a new rider to progress to a litre bike?

    Ok, it is built for the track. But I don't think it is the "requirement" for one to ride it. As long as one can ride it safe, and doesn't affect other people, why not?

    How long does it take a new rider to progress to a litre bike?

    Haha, so many great answers. I dont understand why when people talk about litre bike, many of them link it to track. Buying a litre bike doesn't mean one have to race it, or bring it to the track.

    How long does it take a new rider to progress to a litre bike?

    I am new to motorcycle, and I am planning to get the ninja 300 for my first bike. When I called insurance to ask for a quote, I was curious, so I also asked them how much it will be if I buy a R6. Then the answer is $8400 a year, I was like omg... Anyways, I know it is a difficult question...
