    Used Track Bike, What to look for?

    Much more cost and time efficient to buy one already set-up and prepped. There are a handful for sale from the Shannonville lightweight racers. (Steve and Jacobs off the top of my head)...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Yeah, I don't understand that. The effort it takes to type an email to one person with details is the same effort to just list that information in the advert.

    Motorcycle book value

    Cars yes. Bikes no. That party will change sooner or later. Also, the OP is asking about insurance payouts an not taxes from Service Ontario.

    Aftermarket ABS?

    whoops...the ECU was the same on both bikes.

    Experience with sprocket changes

    Take a screen grab. Down in the front and up in the rear absolutely increases acceleration and decreases top speed.

    Experience with sprocket changes

    I guess it depends on the user. 0-3k rpm and 3k to powerband is still pretty exciting to me on the street for a 600cc sports bike. 8k to peak wide open is just banging a stripper. More fun than "normal" sex but can't be doing that all the time.

    Experience with sprocket changes

    Lack torque? compared to maybe a minivan, or a big cruiser, sure. Still more than enough for normal street use. Being in fetal position in stop and go is more of an issue than engine characteristics.

    Aftermarket ABS?

    An example of why there are no "kits". I had two of the same model bike just one abs and on non-abs. One street (non-abs) and one with it's intended use on the track (has ABS) - salvage title on frame. Can't be used on the street. I didn't need the ABS on the track bike. Small displacement...

    Experience with sprocket changes

    What kind of bike? Bigger noticable difference on smaller bikes. Still a noticeable difference on bigger bikes but not worth the money on the street for me, since 600cc+ sports bikes are already over powered for street use. If I was changing the sprockets from wear and tear, maybe I'd consider...

    recommendation for suspension advice

    Pretty much all you need for a an old street bike. Along with that comes fork seals and fork oil. You can stick to the aftermarket spring manufacturers recommendation for the weight and volume as a starting point.

    Is riding on the highway at 5 C a dumb idea?

    Probably the best idea.

    Motorcycle book value

    Insurance companies have their own blue book. The "no book value" is only Service Ontario for taxes. You can use Kijiji to support your decision to reject their offer on damage/theft payouts if you feel you're being under paid. I've only made a claim on a stolen bike once and it was more than...

    New bike suggestion!

    No fairing is awesome!!! Weird at first but feels great once you're used to it. Only ever gets tiresome for me if I'm touring and putting down 8-9 hours days.

    New bike suggestion!

    A used Triumph Street Triple is also something to consider. Kind of splits the difference engine wise between those two bike but has better suspension and brake components than both of those models. Looks are subjective, but I think the FZ07 is the best looking one. I was in a similar...

    RE: Kids Dirtbiking 15Practise Track vs SteelCityRiders

    Re: Kids Dirtbiking 15Practise Track vs SteelCityRiders First year, yeah! And just for fun this year. It's my first year in dirt. Road racing is enough racing for me haha. I'm 816...also on a Yamaha :-)

    Is riding on the highway at 5 C a dumb idea?

    You will survive. You'll need serious gloves or wind breakers to not have to stop for the full 30 minutes. But if you split it up in to a few stops, it'll be easier. Regarding tires, drop the pressure a bit. Will help keep a little heat in them but when the pavement is that temp, they won't be...

    Yeah, it's stock but the way I read the advert, he has it not mounted. Or potentially doesn't have a current photo with it on?
