Thats very true, but I would hope you have all your bills in order before you start buying motorcycles. If not, you have more significant issues.

I can confirm this is true. They have a great return policy. Still, probably best to just try it on at a shop. Not even just to save the $7, but to save 2 weeks of your time while you wait for a replacement. I feel like alot of shops will have this jacket, its pretty popular. Just go to all...

Ya, look through the oil threads. There are lots of oils that will work from Canadian Tire. And everyone will have a different opinion. All of the opinions and have been pretty much laid out on the other threads, so I wont bring up mine here and start a whole thing. All the info you could...

Please ignore this. Guy has no clue.... Anyways, Im 22, my insurance is about the same as yours, actually slightly higher. I upgraded to an fz6 last year after 1 season of riding, which, by the way, I would recommended over the fz6r. Im sure the fz6r is a fine bike, never ridden it, but don't...

Oooh so close. One number off. Srsly idk. Don't feel like looking up the ratings. Im guessing its not ideal since ive never heard of anyone using t5

Surprised this hasnt been moved yet. Guess the mods are all out riding. I'm in niagara also.

If you come in to a corner too fast, and theres no time to brake, and you don't think you're going to make the turn, don't panic. Keep your eyes up and focused on the road where you want to go. Don't look at the ditch. Just look where you wsnt to go, and you'll make the turn

Lots of good points in here. Too many to quote. I think the main takeaway is no two bikes are equal. This thread makes me want to buy new for my next bike. At least you know its been treated well.

Youre just trying to play devils advocate and/or just looking for something to disagree with. You know what my point was. I just said get the bike home as soon as possible. You don't see me nitpicking every one of your posts to make sure everything is technically accurate. Too tired for this...

For sure, its a dealership though. I'm sure they give away bikes that arent fully paid off all the time.

+1 Another happy fz6 owner here. I only pay a few hundred bucks a year more for my fz6 than I did for my ninja 250. Im 22. Its got the engine from an r6 but costs 1/3 as much to insure. Win-win. Fz6 isnt the only choice though. Lots of bikes in the category. They all have more power than youd...

I kinda laughed at this lol. Ya, I did. Lots of people do. I feel like most people on here probably do. Otherwise they wouldnt be buying a bike. If I only had 15k lying around I'd probably be spending it on food and rent though I wouldnt even be thinking of a bike yet.

Thats good! I couldnt see the ad, maybe it was taken down, but that sounds like a great price. If you end up wanting to upgrade next year, list it for $3200, youll probably get 2800-3000 for it. instead of a 2k loss. Much more responsible decision for a first bike. And you'll have alot of fun...

My ninja 250r was 2 grand a year, my fz6 (600cc sport tourer) is $2800 a year, I got a quote from my insurance company for $3000 a year for the vstar 650. It seems like, for me anyways, with my insuramce company, cc's matters above all else (until you get into SS territory, then all bets are...

Went for a short ride today, was awesome, loved the weather. But one of my bar ends fell off! No idea when. Kind of saw it coming, they didnt fit well. Looked online for a replacement and discovered my bar ends arent OEM, so that explains it. Ordered the OEM part but kinda bummed about it...

I think you misunderstood my point. I didnt say girls can only ride small bikes or that guys cant. I loved my 250r and wouldve kept it if i could afford 3 insurance policies. I have some wealthy friends that want to get their daughters/gf into riding but want to get a bike that is as safe and...

If you bought accessories online theyd probably be at least 20% less than what the dealer is charging anyways

Like others have said, $6200 is an insane amount to spend on a bike youre going to sell in a year or two. Save up for a month or two, you can get a perfect condition low kms 250r for around $2500 and you can sell it for the same when youre ready to upgrade. The only situation I can think of...

That all makes sense. Good advice.

Won't you get a more accurate quote though if you just wait until youre ready to insure the bike and you can put in all your info instead of creating a hypothetical? I guess you'd get a pretty close estimate though.
