    Need advice for highway riding

    I always stay in the left lane which provides a good blocking position and just keep an eye out for potential cars that will try to get in front of you. But just like when driving, you should be able to predict the possibility of somebody wanting to change into your lane- ie if you see a guy in...

    Hayabusa owners, tell me everything there is to know

    Wow, that's very affordable. Does it count as a super sport or a sport touring? I'm surprised that it is cheaper than a gsxr750. i was expecting it to be around 2k for insurance

    Hayabusa owners, tell me everything there is to know

    for the ones of you who own a Busa in the city, out of curiosity, how much is your insurance (ballpark), and who do you have it with? I live at Yonge and Finch, so insurance is about as bad as it'll get in terms of location I pay a crapload of insurance right now, so I'm hoping that it won't be...

    May 24 wknd - Got ticketed/close calls thread

    For the record, OPP have started parking in the left hand shoulder on the 401. They open their driver's door and rest their radar gun on the roof or point it backwards. I've seen about 4 cruisers do this now, but they were always pointed at the fast lane of the side that they were on. Be very...

    M1+ RTI Course vs M2 Insurance

    for ppl who are wondering, I checked on riders plus with their online quote and it made no difference at all. I think they were judging the rider from when they first got their "first" license. CC's and postal code actually made a huge difference in the cost (about 25%). On their quote, they...

    great to hear that they're easy to wok on. Half the appeal is the fun of working on the mechanics of it as well.

    M1+ RTI Course vs M2 Insurance

    HI, I am going to be taking the RTI training course in 2 weeks time and I'd like to pick up a bike shortly afterwards. Unfortunately, I didn't time my M1 date too well, and I would have to wait another month and a half or so after the course before I would reach the 60 day wait period between my...

    Considering 2000-20003 Suzuki GSX600F Katana - What to look for?

    thanks for the info, guys! As a new rider, I think that it'll be a good bike to learn on. I'll definitely keep in mind that it's a heavy bike and be careful to keep it upright as much as possible. I'm 5'9" and pretty strong, so as long as my feet can reach the ground, I should be okay. I will be...
