If you get on your bike and twist the throttle and feel no joy, then yes, perhaps it is time to leave the sport. Life is too short to feel down doing something that doesn't put a smile on your face. You've taken an informal poll on here asking if others feel the same, and most of the responses...

Sounds like you are equating motorcycling as an activity with the businesses that sell supporting products. Once you have your bike and your gear, do you really need to deal with these businesses again, other than service, if you cannot perform it yourself? You can even find an independent...

I used the R80 on our trip across the country on the (TCAT) Trans-Canada Adventure Trail this summer. There's about two months worth of travel supplies in here, clothes, tent, camping equipment, tools and spares: Great mass centralization solution. Bags are as close to the bike as...

Funny, the two brands you've mentioned above are the ones that are conspicuously missing from the rural areas, like where I live. Wish there was an Ape dealer near me, I'd definitely consider having at least one of their models in the garage. Closest one is four hours away. Not ideal.

Here's hoping they don't get as stretched thin as GP Bikes taking over so many speciality brands that need their own tools/machinery and certified techs.

+1 Best run track days in Ontario! "Because we're all FAST!"

We get refunds here in BC. Quite regularly too - car and bikes. Have seen a lot of cheques sent from ICBC ever the last few years. Did some digging and found this: https://www.icbc.com/about-icbc/newsroom/2025-03-26-rebates I think we've seen rebates of over $2000 for our household ever...

Especially from the southern states. It's not the heat, it's the stupidity...

You're a bit late with the Grumpy Old Man mode. This curmudgeon beat you to it: https://www.gtamotorcycle.com/xf/threads/2026-harley.233793/#post-3027363

Wet weight of 485 lbs. 10 lbs more than the Strom. 35 lbs more than the 1st gen T7, which is what made it so popular with the off-road guys. This is the thing with tech, there's an inevitable weight penalty associated with cramming all the gizmos in. Lighter is simpler is better. Nothing to...

Nice. I'd try to keep the exterior as stock-looking as possible, but I like the updated grills and the recessed door handles. Also, pop-up headlights are such a C3 thang, I think I'd keep those in my dream build. LEDs, yes, though! Yes! That Vette Vert was pretty much the star of that show...

40%? Feels more like this:

Not the bike itself, but the app that integrates with the bike. https://www.cfmoto.com/global/cfmoto-ride/faq/cfmoto-ride-related/charging-policy/-what-features-and-services-are-included-in-the-paid-subscriptio.html From the above, seems like it's keyless start, anti-theft, nav and projection...

I was just going to say the same. I'm not a purist. Keep the body shape, but personally, the interior needs to be updated.

C3 for me. All day, every day. I do like the C8 a lot too, but the rear end seems a bit incongruous to the rest of the car, design-wise.

180?

If you haven't noticed, there are a lot of ballers on GTAM. Check out the "I buy and sell motorcycles on a whim, like I breathe air" folks in this thread: https://www.gtamotorcycle.com/xf/threads/how-long-does-it-take-to-pull-the-trigger-on-a-bike-purchase.233736/ ;)

Agree with the above --^ If you can afford it, buying and trying out different bikes will give you much needed hands-on education, as opposed to reading the opinions of people online who may have vastly different experience and use cases from the goals you have set for yourself. "India? Why TF...

Good point. I used to volunteer and serve as a board member at a suicide prevention hotline. We received funds from a few umbrella charity fund-raising organizations, which we were always grateful for. However, many umbrella fund-raising services have high overhead costs, and when they...
