    On my way home, a fellow rider passed by me and I instantly felt jealous (I was driving). My next thought was, “Screw it, I’m going for a quick ride.” The moment I stepped out of the car and saw patches of ice on the street, all my bravery disappeared.

    North American International Motorcycle Supershow - Jan 9-11, 2026

    How about checking out the Diavel 1200, 1260, or V4 if you're looking to keep that cruiser vibe?

    Daily sports car?

    Congrats! And excuse my ignorance with the newer Bavarian stuff. That’s an M2, right? The M4 might be chubbier? I’ve always loved the smaller M cars. I still remember spotting a 1M near my parents’ place, and every now and then I catch myself daydreaming about picking up a used 2018–2020 M2.

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    It kinda makes sense in countries where motorcycles are actually used as real transportation and not just weekend toys, right? For commuting or lane-filtering, a sensible middle-weight bike is way more practical than a 200+ kg Porkcati that drinks gas like a Mexican drinks Coca-Cola and...

    Donating to charities

    Just wanted to spread the word that today, any donation to the Toronto Public Library is being triple-matched. TPL has played a big role in my wife’s and my learning journey since arriving in Canada. It has provided us with safe spaces (some incidents with the homeless, but it's not TPL's...

    Would you buy a demo bike ?

    They had two models I liked. One had like "200" kms on it and was $4.5k off, while the other one with "500" kms had a $5k discount. In the case of these two specific bikes, their warranty is prorated. Unfortunately, I don't have a baller status...... yet 🙄 Phew! It's probably a good thing...

    Would you buy a demo bike ?

    Would you buy a demo bike with under 1,000 km? I’ve always had the impression that demo bikes tend to live a hard early life. Most of them aren’t even past the break-in period, and you just know a bunch of ham-fisted riders at demo days have been bouncing off the rev limiter (honestly… I...

    2025 Weekly BurgeRR Meetup - Wednesdays @7pm

    Just wondering if there’s going to be another GTAM Evoex’s BurgerRR Go-Karts GP Winter 2025/26? (Title inspired by the absurdly long F1 GP names) Or is it too early? Do we need to wait until we hit true “no-bikes-on-the-street” conditions?

    [Amazon.ca] 23$ Alpine MotoSafe Race - Motorcycle Ear Plugs for Wind Noise Reduction - 20%off

    Thanks for sharing this! I can't recommend this product enough. My wife, being super thoughtful, got me a pair after the foamy orange disposable earplugs kept popping out of one ear for no reason, which defeated the noise reduction purpose. I also tried another model, but the earplugs were way...

    Hi from Burlington

    Welcome to GTAM! I used to have a '22 Grey TS660, and it was such a great bike. If you're thinking about adding crash bars sometime, I've got a set of used Givi ones that I can let go for a decent price.

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    Yup, just as JC says. In my case, they didn't have this model in stock at any nearby dealerships; the nearest store with stock was Oakville. There was a $75 shipping fee in addition to the bike's price, whether shipped to my place or the nearest Trek dealership. If I had decided to buy it from...

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    Finally pulled the trigger and picked up this bad boy. It ended up being the cheapest brand-new bike I could find from a major brand in a frame size that actually fits my height. It’s a leftover 2022/2023 model, and from what I’ve read online, it has some budget components due to the COVID-era...

    EICMA 2025

    I understand that we are talking about different markets, but I would definitely own a CF Moto if I was still living in Mexico. I got super excited about their 500cc inline-4. Also their v4 1000cc prototype looks promising. CFMoto are cheap over there offering a really good value proposition...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Thanks everyone for all the insights and suggestions. Genuinely appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts. I’ll put this project on hold until the snow clears and I can get back to working on the bike properly. Once I dig into it again, I’ll post an update in case it’s helpful for...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Today, I attempted to change the oil on the Monster, but unfortunately, my bad luck with oil changes continues. I found some metal shavings on the magnet; two of them were fairly large and circular. Do you have any thoughts on that? Additionally, during the last oil change I did, I noticed...

    I've been thinking of getting one of these as my winter beater. It would definitely look ridiculous with my 58lts Givi topcase... but I enjoy the foolishness

    So far, here’s a summary of the launches that have caught my eye (I haven’t watched everything — just what YouTube and Reddit have been feeding me). Norton Manx R V3R 900 E-Compressor Prototype Saving the best for last. YELLOW Official Ducatis.
