I have posted this already but anyway, I listen to music while riding and honestly find myself more focused on the road. I only have the left one in my ear and keep the music on low- loud enough to hear it but not drowning everything else out. I find it helps me focus more because when I'm on...

Welcome! Just for your question about the DRZ 400 S(M), it may cost a little more but nothing crazy. I own one and love it, feels like a big 50 on the road. But good job thinking logically and staying away from 600's, though, I'm sure you could handle it but with the price of insurance-same...

Bump

+1 I usually just sit on my bike and fill up and have never spilt gas on myself or my bike...Also I go to Petro and have zero problems.

Hey, I ride in the Newmarket area. I ride a DRZ 400 SM, I'd do some off roading. I don't know of too many trails, other than the rogers reservoir that leads to J-jumps.

Lol this guy got hated on soo much.

Its some where around 6-8000 RPM I think.

Was already a thread on this, I ride in a parked car lane when I get the chance. I ride along in first gear and putter along well having 1 finger covering my front brake (Can be a bad habit, I know but I don't just jam on my front brake). I've ridden past cops in traffic, they've never even...

As a previous Honda CBR 250R owner, your problem is nothing new to the majority. When I rode and shifted down, it sometimes would just cut out. People would say, well "maybe you're giving to much gas when downshifting" (blipping the throttle well gently squeezing the front brake) but I could do...

+1 totally agree, but for me it also depends on the music I listen to. If it's hard bass techno, I tend to look like this guy...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cNYzOUqXi0

Try riding a supermoto, the handlebars become shaky at 120. I started using major highways this season and it didn't take much to get use to them but I did however get comfortable with that speed on 80 km/h highways (Just watch out for radar if you decide to ride like you're on a 400.)

Then leave it as it is,I know it sounds crazy now but by next season you'll be looking to upgrade. I know it's tempting to start putting money into a bike but I'd wait til you do it to a bike you're going to have for a long time. Though, I'm not saying you won't have this bike for a while but...

+1, also I wouldnt blame the MSF course. People tend to drop their bike at slow speed manoeuvring rather than high speeds.

Still looking, hmu.

Well you are right, an MSF course won't teach you everything about riding but it will teach you how to turn a bike...

I would stay away from the 500 series Honda line-up as your first bike, only because it's a brand new 2013 model. Thumbs up for any other bike like a -Suzuki GS 500F -Ninja 500 -SV 650 - Or how about a motard haha:D?

I also started out on a motorcycle before driving a car, was scary at first riding with traffic but it's defiantly doable. My first year on a brand new CBR 250RA (Full coverage) was $4000.00 with only my M1, so be ready to hear crazy quotes like that if you decide to do this. I was 19 at the...

Look I'm not going to flame ya, some others guy have done it. But seriously, rethink the way you ride- even ride a bicycle and get the feel of being on two wheels. I think you sub-consciously panick braked into the turn and the bike went straight up. Your bike will not straighten up on it's own...

Right, because everyone who has dropped a bike planned on dropping it. I'm not one to judge others based on whether they wear gear or not but hopefully you'll wear it even if you're just going up the street. I also learnt the hard way but thankfully it was on a dirtbike but nonetheless it's...
