    Potential new rider with some questions

    I'm in the same boat as you. I'm debating whether or not to buy a bike now since it's cheaper when compared to the spring. One thing, have you gotten insurance yet? I asked for a quote from State Farm for a Ninja 300 and they said 2.3k :( :( :( Can other experienced rider weigh in on if that's...

    Thinking about riding

    Also, would you guys recommend buying used from a dealer? Would I need to get an independent mechanic or whatever you call those guys to check if the bike is in good condition?

    Thinking about riding

    I saw both of those before. I really like the 2nd one but the guy lives in Kawartha Lakes. I'm from Newmarket. I really want to ride but I'm going to take a motorcycle course first. I don't have insurance either nor M1. LOL. Right now, price is the biggest and only factor. I still have 22k in...

    Thinking about riding

    I'm just determining what is a good price for a used bike. The MSRP is $5799 but the guy on kijiji is selling his for $6000. Still, I think that Kawasaki out-priced their 300 bike. I'll buy used for sure since I WILL drop it (probably many times).

    Thinking about riding

    I just checked again $5799 is for ABS. $5399 is without. Considering that the CBR500 is $6299 new, I don't understand the pricing of the 300 Kawasaki. Also, how much does aesthetics play a role when purchasing a bike. For example, I definitely think that the 2013 300 Kawi looks a cooler than...

    Thinking about riding

    On the Kawasaki website, the MSRP is $5799 (I'm guessing USD?) so that's why I asked if it was overpriced or not. I don't know how much taxes and other costs are and what the FINAL cost will come to.

    Thanks for all your replies. Hopefully, people will be selling used Ninja 300 for next spring and I'll get that for around 3k-4k. I'm 5'10, 186 pounds. Btw, what is insurance like? I emailed State Farm but haven't gotten a reply. I'll be 23 in October, full G with no accidents. EDIT: Is this...

    Cleaning motorcycle gear for dermatophytosis

    I've seen these things and dermatophytosis isn't bad at all when compared. The internet desensitizes you...

    Two left turners: who has right of way?

    Disagree again. Off topic but here's a fun fact: Did you know that the rules of the road don't apply in parking lots in Ontario??? You don't have to stop at stop signs. You don't have to obey speed limits. This means that you also don't need driver's license or insurance to operate a vehicle in...

    Two left turners: who has right of way?

    I agree with you that A has the right of way. That is the definitive answer. Your reasoning, however, is not describing the OP's situation. It's pretty obviously that if they are stopping with stop signs, whoever stops first gets to go first. But in this situation, vehicle A would never have a...

    Thinking about riding

    Hi there, Recently, I've been thinking about starting to ride and I need some tips/advice. I plan on taking a MSF course next spring. I'm thinking of riding a Ninja 250 or CBR250. If buying used, what is a good price and how do I check if the bike has been mechanically damaged. I wouldn't care...
