    Buying a bike w/o safety inspection

    A 300 huh? I was looking at them as well but you'd be surprised how much the price just shoots up compared to the 250 even when used. Better worth the investment but insurance could potentially be higher too. I would negotiate it into the price but theres only one issue...the seller is in...

    Buying a bike w/o safety inspection

    Ya I have zero experience as this is my first step into the motorcycle world to be honest. I'm gonna check out that list actually and use it as a reference for sure and I'll probably bring someone with me when I check out the bike. Otherwise, I'm thinking of just waiting to get a bike from...

    Buying a bike w/o safety inspection

    Just a Ninja 250. The seller worked on the bike to get it ready to sell so I wouldn't need to do anything myself right away. Think it just needs an oil change at the most

    Buying a bike w/o safety inspection

    Is it risky buying a used bike without having it been safetied from the seller? Like lets say you check the bike out and looks great, is in working order, very low milage, and the seller is also willing to drop the price because it has no safety certificate, is it still a wise purchase...

    Mileage: Dealbreaker or not?

    Great information, peeps! I think all in all, what I’m understanding is that it’s really a bike-by-bike basis kinda thing and the mileage is only part of the equation. im so used to using the mileage # when it comes to car shopping but I guess it’s different with motorcycles.

    Mileage: Dealbreaker or not?

    So I’m looking at an 08 Ninja 250 with roughly 19.7k in usage. I might add that it has upgraded fairings and new tires. Cosmetically, it looks great as the owner says it’s in mint condition but I haven’t seen the bike yet so I’ll have to wait and see for myself.

    Mileage: Dealbreaker or not?

    When you guys are buying or have bought your bike at one point, we’re you looking at the mileage/km to see if a significantly used bike would be a dealbreaker or not? I know there are other factors that go into decision making process, but how much mileage is considered too much, if any?

    Buying the First Bike

    Really appreciate the help! No, I'm definitely not getting anything bigger than a 300cc thats for sure! I need the riding experience first and I wanna be able to afford insurance haha. I've yet to go and see the bike in person so at this current time, I don't know much else except for what I...

    Buying the First Bike

    Thanks for the advice! I actually may have access to a trailer so if I do see a good bike now for the right price then I wouldn't mind "putting the cart before the horse" if you know what I mean lol I'll keep everything in mind though when I go see the bike in person.

    Buying the First Bike

    Thanks for your reply! Well, in regards to insurance, I'm 27 (male) with a full G licence and a clean record. I do live in Scarborough so I know that will be a con towards insurance rates. I will definitely be doing the motorcycle safety course as well so hopefully that lowers the rate. Also...

    Buying the First Bike

    Hey guys, So I'm gonna be in the process of getting licensed over the next several months and I was just browsing online for starter bikes (Ninja 250/300) to at least get an idea how much these bikes would cost. I have a few questions hopefully you can help me out with, however. 1) Would it...
