As I get closer to getting a bike now Im trying to come up with a list of things to NOT do while riding, ultimately to reduce the risks that come with riding a motorcycle I have come up with a few things based on my experience driving in situations which i would deem dangerous for motorcycle...

Yeah i just got back from ready, They let you test ride, but brampton powersports do NOT. They only allow the demo days So far it seems this place in Vaughan and ready are the options in the GTA, but ill look to see if i can find outside the GTA. apart from burlington any other places that let...

yeah, I hear naked bikes are way cheaper to repair if you drop them or scratch them up... If the bike drops in the parking lot or something silly like that while its at a standstill im assuming you cant do any major damage to the bike that way? and will only be a minor cosmetic thing? When...

I suppose that makes sense, ill try to find a dealer outside of the GTA so i can get some nice clear open roads

Im looking at narrowing down between the R3/Ninja 300 and the Er-6n(Wanted teh ninja 600 but my insurance guy said the company rates them as SS ) not sure if the 300s would be ok considering my size 6'2 250

Iv got the insurance quotes, gear and MSF course lined up now i just have to narrow down the list of bikes. How does test riding a bike work? Can you just walk in and test ride them? Do you call ahead and book the bikes like an appointment? Iv heard some dealers have 'ride days' where they...

I dont know Im sure there are riders both novices and experienced a like who have never dropped a bike, not saying it doesnt happen but to arbitrarily assume that EVERY rider MUST drop a bike as if its a right of passage is kind of silly, especially considering im probably going to be buying a...

Its not that i mind buying a used bike but: 1. Its harder to finance used bikes your buying off someone else(I dont got that kind of cash lying around) 2. Its used and i am no expert on bikes, nor am i a mechanic, so if its been dropped before, or has some damage that might be problematic I'll...

Iv never ridden a dirt bike, or a dual purpose bike, I cant even imagine what it would be like to ride? On the road/gravel/dirt/mud? Id have to go take a look at it to see how it even looks, and how i fit on it, and the CC's are 650 so its probably on the higher end of the premiums I Dont...

I gave them a list of like 10 bikes. The vulcan 500 is not listed on the kawi site, is it no longer manufactured? (Im guessing you want me to get a used?) The shadow is the phantom, 750cc(unless theres an older smaller version i dont know of) I looked into the vstar 250 but was repeatedly...

well initially i was looking at some beginner cruiser bikes but because the vstar 650 and shadow are over 660 cc the rates were outrageous, so i started giving the brokers/agents/companies a list of potential bikes, and finally found some decent quotes with Paul south

that explains it, im 26(turning 27) and live in brampton :(

you live in Mississauga eh? How old are you?

Finally found the time to call around and ask for quotes, spend pretty much the entire day and had to take the day off work, Earlier i had assumed like some of the other members on here, that the class of the bike seems to play a bigger role in insurance than the CC, but after calling around...

Looked at the Stickies on the insurance forum and found the two little flow charts, one is for "classic/Cruiser" while other is for "Sport Bike", does anyone know which the standard/street/naked bikes fall into? Also is the ninja 650 a standard bike? I've had people on the forums tell me this...

Interesting, I wonder if the insurance companies see it the same way, I guess by that logic the 300 is also a 'standard' bike? Although it's almost certainly classified as sport.

What about the fact that he claimed the ninja 600 was a standard bike, I find that ridiculous

so the salesman was full of ****? Just tried Jevco, theyre closed on saturdays also....god this is depressing, no one picking up i just wanted some quotes, Better call tomorrow after work.. this seems like a fair bit of work, i finish and get home from work around 4ish...maybe ill have to...

hey vinnie so apparently all state doesnt do standalone and doesnt insure M2 riders...

well that was fun, couldnt reach ANYONE on a saturday afternoon, besides allstate, and the guy said they dont do standalone, and once i said ok i could look at bringing over my car with it, he said they dont insure anyone without their M license. Good riddance. On a side note i went and tried...
