    New rider. So 1992 EX500 or 1995 Yamaha Seca II Street Fighter

    This bike is sounding better and better! Im feeling more confidant to push through for this bike :P I just wish the cost of insurance would have been more forgiving :(

    New rider. So 1992 EX500 or 1995 Yamaha Seca II Street Fighter

    Im hopping to keep the Seca for at least 2 years :P i just want something reliable and able to drive long distances and bring me back home, unlike my scooter im not going to modify the sh*t out of it, i will just adjust valves, clean and rejet the carbs if need be, replace the air filter with a...

    New rider. So 1992 EX500 or 1995 Yamaha Seca II Street Fighter

    AGREED! on both accounts. Also i just checked with insurance, they did make a mistake on my renewal policy, it is now suppost to be $2400 but i canceled it ofcourse because im selling my scooter. For the EX500 they quoted me for $3100, and for the Seca $3500 (Jevco). lets put it this way, if i...

    Yes you are correct, i did some research and that did come up, i found it interesting that the one locally is actually the European model :P

    Thats good to hear! i actually really like the naked look to the bike, it adds a certain Je Ne Sais Qoi :P

    New rider. So 1992 EX500 or 1995 Yamaha Seca II Street Fighter

    Im not certain of the correct term for this unique look, but in essence its looks like the offspring of a sports look simialr to an EX500 or CBR600 with a regular maxim look, and i personally just fell in love with it! Im glad to hear that the engine in the Seca is reliable, can i find parts for...

    New rider. So 1992 EX500 or 1995 Yamaha Seca II Street Fighter

    So like the title says ive narrowed it down to the Ex500 or the Seca II, Due to my age and only 1 year (clean) motorcycle record im limited to the year of the bike <1995 to keep cost low. I just recently got a renewal form from my insurer for my 150cc scoot and for some odd reason they increased...

    New rider looking for a new bike!

    What do you guys think of a 1995 Yamaha Seca II 600cc? Its decently priced and very close for pickup. Any general problems with the bike or any parts that are discontinued? i dont want to end up with a sexy paperweight :P current owner has not skimped on the aesthetics of the bike, it looks...

    earphones while riding?

    Never heard of a law prohibiting the use of earphones of any kind while driving a car or motorcycle, but then again im not sure if it is totally legal. I personally use these... they work pretty well...

    New rider looking for a new bike!

    LOL! ya definitely either a 250 or 500, leaning more towards the 500 tho :P ofcourse, difference being the rider to bike weight ratio and the point of the centre mass of both bikes are slightly different. But i handle my scoot pretty well, can pop wheelies on it, countersteer, etc. etc. im just...

    New rider looking for a new bike!

    I listen to everyone. :D but ya i never shot the idea down, im just saying that i want a sport/touring bike, not another scooter :P Would be nice to actually demo test the burgman because it did catch my eye but not really interested in it too much at the moment, cost being of the downsides to...

    New rider looking for a new bike!

    how so? because the burgman is heavier and larger? more power is present of course but other than that is there anything else to that bike that will really throw me off? (figuratively speaking of course)

    so what your saying is that if i am currently signed into my kijiji account, open up my ad, and copy paste the link, others may edit it through that link? ive actually never had this problem before so i wouldnt know.

    New rider looking for a new bike!

    Im sorry, i dont quite understand what your saying. If what i think your saying is, I posted the link (properly described item) and then intentionally and willfully edited it to make this forum look bad, then you are sadly mistaken my friend. Then again if i am wrong please correct me. BTW thats...

    Someone on this forum decided to **** around with my Kijiji ad.... Im not going to name any names but lets say if he decides to come see me like i asked him too, ill probably be the last thing he sees for the rest of his life. Now can you guys say this is the work of an educated, intellectual...

    New rider looking for a new bike!

    yes, i agree with you! Thats pretty steep for a '97 bike... I dont know how much these things go for regularely or how much they are brand new, i just know that, that price is way out of my budget. P.S. I did forget to mention my budget on my "new" bike, like posted previously, im selling my...

    New rider looking for a new bike!

    LOL, thats debateable :P ill tell you just like i told one of my buddys. you can ride a roller coaster, but at which point in time you take control over somethings speed, acceleration, direction, etc. you are now currently driving it :) "drive 3. To guide, control, or direct (a vehicle)."...

    New rider looking for a new bike!

    To address the CVT issue, its not a "misconception" its just something ive experienced on my bike while i was working on it. Without the CVT attached (no belt on) the bike actually reved up to 11500RPM+ (yes i have a no rev limit CDI) and after the installation it of the belt it shot down to...

    New rider looking for a new bike!

    OH GOD NO! LOL! im looking to get away from the CVT!!!! Its awesome technology but IMHO it actually sucks away so much power from the bike itself! Ive been told the 250's are really sluggish in terms of acceleration and top speed, as a result, it is not best suited for highway use and long...
