Yeah I think there's something off with those numbers. Here's the 2017 Ontario Road Safety Annual Report: http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/publications/pdfs/ontario-road-safety-annual-report-2017.pdf. Page 80, Table 6.2: Single Vehicle Collisions were 24.6%. This article mentions that out of...

37 out of 42 seems really, really high. Does the OPP release any additional information about these accidents? There must be some sort of report? Edit: Just as an example, here is an article from Quebec where we had 5 fatal accidents in one day this past summer...

Does anyone have any experience with using self-storage units for storing motorcycles, while still taking them for rides regularly? I may be moving back to K-W this summer and will probably be in an apartment without secure parking. Ideally I'd like to find a storage unit I could drive to, park...

Very hard to find at the moment. I called 3 dealers and two of them were hoping to get a few in late-March/early-April, but who knows. One of them said they didn't even receive their expected fall delivery. The third one said there weren't expecting to get any at all in 2021, 2022 at the...

I bought a Freecom 1+ last year and it works very well. Volume is easy to adjust with gloves on while riding and it also connects instantly. Pretty solid no-frills choice.

I managed to find one in a showroom yesterday and got a chance to sit on it, and it's not as bad as the specs make it seem. It sags quite a bit when you sit on it, and the seat is fairly narrow. I'm 6' with a 31" inseam and was on the balls of my feet with the standard seat. They also have a low...

Just in case anyone was curious, I ended up putting a deposit down on a Tenere 700. I was all ready to go for the MT-09, but realized that trying to get two bikes in and out of my tiny shed was not going to be fun. And also that I probably lack the self control for a bike that fast. The Tenere...

Seems like the decision is made! So next question: 2019 MT-09 would be $10.2k including tax. 2021 is 12.75k. Worth spending an extra 2.5k for the 2021 model with new electronics and other things?

I definitely agree that there is more to learn on the Versys, and I do enjoy riding it. The problem is that due to work, family, etc. most of my rides these days are 20-30 minutes during my lunch break or after work where I just want to have as much fun as I can. If I had time to take it to...

These responses are super helpful, thanks to everyone who responded! To address some of the points raised: Insurance is not particularly a concern - I actually live in Quebec now (from K-W originally) so insurance is pretty cheap regardless of the bike. This is also why I'm keeping the Versys -...

First time posting here so apologies if this is not the correct forum for this question. I got my license last year and bought a Versys X 300, which I definitely enjoy, but now I'm looking for something a little more fun and have been debating picking up a 2020 MT07 or MT09. I was wondering if...
