    Finally got insurance and plates on Monday, had been riding Tuesday and Wednesday with no problems. On Thursday morning I was riding and the bike didn't want to go above 100kmph.

    I'm looking to purchase an 89 ex250-f from a seller on Kijiji for $1000, and asked if it was safetied/offered to pay to have him go and safety it. He said "It passes safety, it's still licensed and insured." I've never bought a motorcycle, am I required to have it safetied when I try to insure...
