Going to try riding on the streets tomorrow with CBR125R. How did you guys start out riding on the streets? Practice on familiar roads first? I know a few points like treat everybody out there like they're going to kill you, and watch out for trucks being unable to see riders. Is there any...

I notice that the rider is maintaining the same speed, whether its straight, doing the 180. During the turn he leans and also steers to the direction he is turning into while maintaining the same speed. Is that the key? For me I definitely can not maintain one speed doing the slow stuff. Will...

I was practicing at the parking lot of a community church called Westside yesterday and today. I got a warning to ask first next time at the front office I want to practice since its private property, but they let me practice for the rest of today at the vacant end of the lot. I apologized and...

You mean the picture? Or you mean the stuff on the video is too dangerous to practice right now?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! That was very explanative, if that is a word? Is the stuff after 30 minutes worth watching? Its going onto the track, and I would prefer to keep "lessons" in patches first. Have to be stable with throttle control, (which I'm not), have to not lean the bike but really...

So I got a CBR125 today in the morning, decided to start practicing this afternoon at a semi-vacant parking lot that was close and just across the street. I set up some saucer discs I bought from Canadian Tire on the lot to practice slow speed steering, which I didn't do so hot during RTI. You...

I got off the phone today with State Farm, $35 / month for CBR125 which is $420 per year lol???? And I totally agree, scooters are awesome too! Edit Post: Thank you Macs btw for the tip with State Farm!

Thanks for all the advice guys. I am looking closely at the older 2007-2008 CBR125s now, as I have decided not to take to the highways this season (I can not get on highways legally anyways until August, when I can hand in my RTI exit cert to DriveTest). I will practice with the CBR125 this...

Thanks for the replies. I am thinking of CBR125s, but kinda afraid of the "outgrowing" part. While I did complete the RTI M1 exit course, I still feel like I need a lot more practice in parking lots before I am set to take on the streets (not to mention the highway lol, I commute from...

Preface: I got my M1 license on June 1st, just finished taking the M1 exit course with RTI (I love Greg, so humourous lol), and am looking to get my first bike. Does anybody have any experience with purchasing used bikes on Kijiji? I see quite alot of good old sportbikes (250 Ninjas, 500...
