Even if you decide now, you will be back eventually, its in your blood to ride. IF anything is meant to happen it will happen to you one way or another. You cannot avoid doing things because they are more dangerous then other. Flying in a plane is more dangerous then driving in a car, although...

From the inside meaning between the sidewalk and the vehicle, I'm form Eastern Europe and that's what we call it, although I do get your point.

No not a typo, the traffic in SA is moving on the left, just like in UK or Japan etc. therefore by passing the vehicle on the left he used the inside of the lane. Just as you would if you'd pass a vehicle from the right in Canada.

The bike is at fault, apart from passing a vehicle in the same lane (Might be allowed if lane splitting is legal) he also passed the car from the inside of the lane (Notice in SA they drive/ride on the left side), which is ILLEGAL in any country.

Insurance companies dont got by the bill of sale price, you declare your bike value when you request insurance. Also in an accident companies go by retail value of the bike at the time of an accident. Therefore even if your bill of sale price is 15k and at time of accident your bike is worth 9k...

You looking for new or used? Check out r6, r1 or duc 848, cbr1000rr All of these bikes fit me perfectly PS: Im 6'1"

i say go test ride the bike, check out gpbikes, they are the only ducati dealer in Ontario that had a demo of the 848 evo, Im sure that monster demo is also available. PS: Was surprised to see the diavel being demoed there as well.

False, stickers make the most hp, hence repsol hondas are the fastest!

Im considering taking it for a spin while demoing the 848 evo, but still dont think it will be a sound option for 2 up... The evo is the perfect bike for me with right ammount of power, i like the power delivery more then most littre bikes the only bike that comes close would be the blade

coming from 08 R6 and having ridden almost all ss bikes id say that 848 evo is the best handling bike out of the bunch, it is much better handling bike then my r6, it has much better breaks (Best breaks of any bike Ive ridden), the frame is amazing, bike is stable, and the bike "fit me as a...

Id say 80% of my rides are 2up, the 08 R6 that I sold was comfortable both for me and my gf for 2up, so is the blade. The issue with the 848 is that the riders seat is low while passengers is high, so she sits much higher then on any other ss that we ridden. PS: SS bike is the only class of...

The 848 evo is much closer to the fireblade then you might think. It has amazing brakes (Best Ive seen on any bike) amazing frame, and therefore handling, great low/mid range, and it is a Ducati! The 1198 is out of question for 2 reasons, it has TOO much grunt and WILL bring the front up in the...

Have rode both the zx10r and the s1000rr The kawi is extremely crippled low/midrange power, and the s1000rr didn't impress me either. So far the best bikes Ive ridden were the 848 evo and the cbr1k. The evo is an amazing bike but its bad for 2up, at least my gf didnt like it (Rear seat is way...

Thats my mindset as well. Will see the reviews of new bikes, if not worth it will get a heavy discount on 2011 models.

Heard that as well. Still cant decide weather to buy now or wait, and the great weather isn't helping. Another option would be to go with the 848 evo

1000rr, Also rumor is that the 2012 model might have a v4

After selling my bike I am faced with a tough decision, I test rode the 2011 fireblade and love the bike, but since all anticipate a new fireblade for 2012 the buying decision is tough. I am planning to buy new and keep it for 3-5 seasons. What do you guys think buy a blade now or wait till 2012?!

Great documentary, thanks for the link!

Passed my test 3 weeks ago. TIPS: Move your helmet around when looking into mirrors, blindspots or looking at hazards. Make a complete stop at stop signs/red lights when turning When stopped have 1st engaged with the clutch pulled in, leg on rear break When doing emergency stop. Shut off bike...
