Yes, CWS certainly seem to have a lot more bike selection. Although, as someone already point out, a lot of their bikes are from the states...

I agree. And that's exactly why I said looking at M2 vs. M may not be the best determining factor for experience. And that's also why I suggested looking at proof of insurance; which would mean you own a bike and probably ride it.

In terms of restrictions, yes. I think the real difference between the two is a parking lot test vs. real road test. Someone with only an M2 may never have: been on the road, been higher than low 3rd gear, used turn signals, used mirrors, etc... Anyway, the point is that there is certainly a...

I can understand with your aftermarket exhaust, because they would have needed to replace it with another exhaust; which may not have been worth the effort for them. I forgot to mention that my bike did have aftermarket Cobra pipes on them before and after I picked it up as well. I guess I was...

Thanks Corsara. I hope it's not going to be a big problem. My engine oil level looks good still, so maybe it's just the heat that last few days? Here's hoping anyway... I think I'll wait a few days and see if more puddles accumulate...

Some more info you may be interested in... I just called CWS about the minor oil (or some fluid) leak I noticed under my bike. I can confirm that the 30-day "in good condition" is definitely not a warranty. What's good for 30 days is whatever requirements are need to pass the safety.

TL;DR I Didn't have a problem at Cycleworld when I bought my bike a few weeks ago. But I think I would go to GP Bikes if I could do it over again. Just wanted to chime in here since I purchased my 2005 M50 a few weeks ago from Paul at CWS. I went in on a Sunday and put a deposit down. We set...

Re: $%@$#@^% Japs! I'm sorry, but this gif cracks me up! :lmao:

In my M1Exit course, we were told to never coast around with the clutch pulled in, unless you plan to come to a complete stop, for two reasons (if I remember correctly): To help ensure you're always in gear--and the correct gear--in case you need to take off. Not healthy for the transmission...

Thanks for the clarification, blackcamaro! Cheers

HA3AP, I think you've got your insides and outsides mixed up. "Inside" usually refers to the side closest to the middle of the road, i.e. closest to oncoming traffic.

Just curious, could this ever be an issue if buying a used bike from a dealer?

I don't know about that... I accidentally did a wheelie during my M1 Exit course on a 125. And I'm not a tiny guy either... :rolleyes:

Thanks Jamie. I guess in the end, the money does leave your hands before you see the product (bike in this case). So the scam here is really the shipping documents, and not really anything directly related to them having your name and address. Thanks for the explanation!

Relatively speaking, yes. It would be much easier if GP Bikes did their own thing; but then only their existing customers would be aware of it. Websites like Groupon and Wagjag take quite a hefty premium on the coupons thy sell. I believe Groupon takes 50% of the purchase price of each...

Might also want to bring your G (or G2 or whatever) as well.

I just called Co-operators this morning to get an auto and motorcycle quote. First thing they asked me was if I currently have any insurance policies with them. I said no, and they said: "We are currently focusing only on existing clients; so anything we offer you would not be competitive...

So... I'm still confused. At what point does the scammer get your money and not send you the goods? And what's so important about full name and full address here? I'm not saying this isn't a scam, but I'm having difficulty understanding how this scam works. The scammer reiterates a few times...

Yes, Captain Obvious. But how do they actually get your money in this case?

Re. theft coverage; I called TD Meloche Monnex for a quote on a 2005 Suzuki C50 and they said I would need an alarm in order to get theft coverage as well. So maybe it's not just SS bikes...?
