    Thinking of buying a big boy bike

    2005 owner's manual says 441 lbs. That works for me. The owner of the bike directed me to Murphs site. There's a bike already with the pegs and other farkles listed cheaper that I may go look at. Sent from my Redmi 7A using Tapatalk

    Thinking of buying a big boy bike

    I do aweful things to motorcycles, like ride them every day rain or shine, occasionally in snow, mud or standing water, often on gravel.* The closer to 'no depreciation left to deduct', the better. I know, I know... KLR, but my *** is too old for that. *Except for the bike I'm trying to sell at...

    Thinking of buying a big boy bike

    Checked out an older Concours today. Ergonomics felt more sport than touring. The owner mentioned there are an optional lowered pegs. Also took an FJR1300 around the block. Little easier on my long legs. Felt really easy to ride. I like that the Concours is half the price. Granted the...

    Thinking of buying a big boy bike

    Canadian dealers tout mileage in imperial because it looks more impressive. I prefer to work in L/100 km as there's no confusion Sent from my Redmi 7A using Tapatalk

    Thinking of buying a big boy bike

    That was a poser shot. But pictures of traveling the North Road, out to Chisasaibi, Long Point and Wemindji are the real deal. I could barely move when I got home. The GL 650 isn't particularly fuel efficient, especially the way I ride it. I'm not expecting 250 fuel economy, but it shouldn't be...

    Thinking of buying a big boy bike

    Yup, I've lost track of where I got the info because it was from different sources, but yes, chart is updated: the FJR is lighter and the ST1300 heavier than I originally thought. The ST has a slightly larger fuel capacity which would account for a small amount of the difference. I haven't read...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    This is my bike. I'm not in a hurry to sell, but I don't want to be unrealistic either. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-bikes/kawartha-lakes/cbr-250-abs-2011/1522725478

    This is my comparison sheet. Would anyone add any specs for comparison? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IvSYernwRRpiPv2aqoeFC0Lp4YyrqDnB21cNh9KxjHo/edit?usp=sharing

    Thinking of buying a big boy bike

    I haven't taken many contenders off the list but I've opened up lots of possibilities by expanding the budget a bit (under$5000) The GL1100 regretfully had to come off the list because of its age. I'll keep the GL650 for tinkering. Also, getting some quotes on insurance hasn't been a deal...

    2012 CBR 250 ABS

    Starts and runs great. Comes with cover and helmet. Recent tires, brakes and oil change. Low speed slide has made the signal lights floppy, but everything works. Still using it to commute to work. 60,000

    Thinking of buying a big boy bike

    I was looking for a KLR when I came across the GL. I don't think the GL is a slouch in the power department. I don't need more power, I just want it. I had to regretfully take the Magna off the list when I considered that most years I commute in to work at least once every month of the year...

    Harley Ferguson. Nice jab ;-) The last time I took a bike to a shop, it was the insurance company paying the tab. Some bikes are harder to work on than others. The Tupperware comes off of the old GL easier than most bikes; I know I've been spoiled by that Sent from my Redmi 7A using Tapatalk

    Thinking of buying a big boy bike

    There's a VFR for under 3000 certified at the moment. I'm surprised no one has mentioned a DL1000. Next to Harleys, they seem to be the bike that riders love to hate. There's some nice older BMW's. Is it true that they're expensive to maintain? Sent from my Redmi 7A using Tapatalk

    To each their own on looks. I don't like the look of many cruisers, but the Magna is an exception in my mind. I have become spoiled by having lockable compartments and always having rain gear and spare helmet along Sent from my Redmi 7A using Tapatalk

    Good suggestions. I'm not ready to call sellers yet, though 2000seems very reasonable. There is the issue of two insured bikes in the driveway Sent from my Redmi 7A using Tapatalk
