Got to ride a 2019 MT09 today, here are my thoughts on it Background Took the MT09 for about 40 mins from Apex at Yamaha’s demo day, did some minor twisties/roundabouts. Chassis & Handling I think the best way to describe the MT feel, especially at low speeds, is like a bicycle. The wide...

Got to ride an R1 today, here are my thoughts on it for anyone that's curious Background Took the R1 for about 40 mins from Apex, went up to some mild twisties by the Airport in Breslau Chassis & Handling The R1 felt very similar to the R6, I felt right at home on it. In a way, that’s its...

Great ride to Hockley today, roads were nice and clean :D

This weekend looks quite nice... Let's see if the Hockley General Store is still there! Date: Sunday, May 5 Time: 4:15, kickstands up 15 mins later (Have gas!) Location: Regular Tims (120 Ottawa St N.) Route/Duration: Hockley Valley (~3 hours) Pace: Spirited in some sections See you all out there!

Considering picking up some new boots and am between the Supertech R or the TCX-RT Race. Anyone have experience with either of these? Or other suggestions?

Thanks to all for the super helpful responses; it really helped put things into perspective! The reverse crank sounds really neat, I've also heard about a seamless transmissions making it's way into the R1 which would be pretty damn cool

Come out on the next ride and you'll see ;)

Yup, sure is

So we hosted a little ride yesterday as well; I was secretly hoping no one would show so I could go home but crazies still came out. Had some fun out in the (partial) rain! Weather looks pretty poor over the next few days...

Scroll up, it is linked above

So I noticed the R1 is only 20lbs more than the R6; a fairly small difference that can be compensated for with some weight saving mods. Now, my question is, why does the R6 feel so much more light/flickable than the R1? The wheelbase difference doesn't seem to be that big either, but perhaps a...

Fun little rip and a great turn out!

Short notice, but for anyone craving an after-work ride: Date: Monday, April 22 Time: 5, kickstands up 15 mins later (Have gas!) Location: Regular Tims (120 Ottawa St N.) Route/Duration: Conestoga Dam, 2 hours Pace: Medium; nothing too crazy as roads are still iffy See you all out there...

I'd buy them as garage showpieces but nothing more.

Please do not buy a helmet off of Aliexpress. I'm all for buying cheap **** off there, but helmet is not one of them. If you are on a tight budget, look into the CL17 from HJC.

That's actually a very good point and something that warrants further discussion. The M1 has lost its (idealized) purpose. It no longer is setup to allow new riders time to practice for their M1 exit but rather an unnecessary block of time which seemingly has no purpose. In my opinion the...

Yea, I hope it was thought out and he got it in the winter as well. OP can use his/her judgment on it; if you're on a traffic-calmed crescent for instance, practice all you want going round and round. Maybe check in with some of your neighbors to make sure you're not being a nuisance.

X3 on the rider training. The MSF has your M1 exit test built in. As far as getting practice before, as long as you live in a quiet neighborhood and your bike is pretty quiet, just ride around your street. I do think you will get more out of the MSF course if you already have mastered the...

I will be seeding for the next few days as well. I have a very good connection; hope it helps
