Bikers complain about idiotic drivers that text and drive. Drivers complain about stupid bikers that rev for no goddamn reason and make noise at 1am near condos. Fair game now. We live in a place that's do as you wish, and deal the risks and consequences after...

I recently got a cb500x and it's plenty of power to overtake highway speeds, cheap on gas and insurance. For a younger guy like myself it's the perfect package. If I could afford it, I'd go sv though!

I hope they add those pylons over the double solid whites. I often see cars cutting in and out using it as a passing lane.. Wish I was on the bike to smash some mirrors once they slow down ?

I would just do it since it doesn't really take that long.. Regardless of my 'rights'.. Better comply and get out than sit there arguing and wasting time. We're all adults I assume.. Why argue over something so small? Stop going to that gas station if you don't like it, or simply prepay at pump.

I have a loud exhaust so in town I short shift as low as 4k, but mostly around 6-7, and if I have some adrenaline then I almost redline shift taking a ramp merging into highway..

I only saw one sign with the motorcycle on it as soon as you merge from dvp to 404 Hov NB. Rest of the signs were the old ones.

@Iceman you're right :p will definitely take a closer look!

That's a good deal! Except wife hated the color :ROFLMAO:

@Supernam thanks for your input. @MacDoc was kind enough to let me have a seat on his baby and yes the 500 feels solid! Will be trying to contact some dealers to get one soon.

@lornejack nice, thank you for that. I wish v400 was available, I think that's an automatic winner.

@MacDoc where abouts are you? I'm free Sat after work between 1-3pm. Edit..pm'd you

Ya I agree with the 300. I'm used to my ninja 300 at 9k, and sometimes shift near red line when merging the highway. 1.5 years into riding and I'm at 18k, just trying to get Comfy now haha

Haven't found a dealer that allow test rides and I don't have friends.. That ride ? just me and the wife scooting around doing errands or wknd road trip to grab a bite. Haven't had a chance to sit in a cb, went to a couple dealers but they didn't have it. I did sit on a v300 a very long time...

Thank you everyone for your inputs! After reading all this I think the cb is better suited for my riding needs. Will wait and see which one I get my hands on first. If I end up with x300 I guess it won't be too bad, as I'm used to the high revving ninja already... But will def prefer the cb...

@Mad Mike haha ok that's what I thought. Yes the price definitely is more attractive. Plus I'm so used to the ninja that it'll be easy to adapt. I have a friend looking out for me, '16+ cb or v300x. It'll be whichever comes first unless I'm convinced one over the other.

@Mad Mike hey there! Ya I've read a lot of reviews comparing the 2 but thought I'd try to get some insights from fellow Torontonians. Also kawi 3k more? Im noticing the Honda being more expensive due to msrp

@JavaFan thank you for your input! Makes sense going for the Honda. @MacDoc thats amazing, definitely very helpful with your story. Thanks!

@TK4 sorry typo, meant to be 500x @ifiddles sat on one before, but insurance jumps a bit too much so I'm keeping it sub 500 @jc100 sorry to add, I have looked into both. About $15 difference. So I've narrowed it down to these 2. Just curious to know if one is bettrr than the other or more...

Shopping for a replacement to my ninja 300. Power wise I'm happy with my ninja.. Really doing this for a more upright position as my backs not holding up on longer 2up rides. Any inputs appreciated. Thanks!

Any good contacts for a mechanic around Richmond hill area, I'm looking for labor only to change chain+ sprocket and rear brake pads. I have the parts. Fair pricing please~
