@MacDoc thanks for the tips on the throttle lock. I got mine from Amazon USA after trying all other options. I tried KAOKO, Atlas Throttle lock but none fitted my bike because of the Oxford heated grip (Atlas doesnt fit) and the bar end weight (KAOKO doesnt fit). I will try the Aliexpress one if...

I do have a blacklist and unfortunately BMW and KTM are in there. No disrespect to anyone. CF Moto may be a contender but low on the list as they are trying to follow KTM strategy of luring riders into subscription for features that are already built in a bike.

Thanks, i saw the video on the Himalayan and i was overall positive despite some electronic issues which i think can be rectified by adjusting the frame rate of your camera. I think the dealer in Toronto is closer to me but given the recent snow, it think i will go for a test ride next year...

Thanks for making those excellent points. I just came back from a 10000km trip riding Toronto to Los Angeles and back. My initial plan was to ride a segment of the Colorado BDR and a segment of Death Valley but once the bike was fully loaded with my hard pannier, tailbag, tank bag and crash bar...

Hey folks, New guy here on the forum 👋 I’m in my fifties and only got my motorcycle license about a year and a half ago. Since then I’ve been absolutely hooked — put just over 30,000 km on my 2024 Suzuki V-Strom 650XT already. It’s been a fantastic all-rounder: smooth, reliable, comfy for long...
