But isnt it gonna be more comfortable as a commuter bike on highway? Maybe less vibration with 4 cylinder? I’m also considering price point. I haven’t seen parallel twin 600cc adv touring bikes at this price point. I shared my quotes in 2022 insurance quotes topic: Not too bad eh for new m2...

I came up with 2010 CBF600SA listing in Kitchener. @shanekingsley this is some kind a rival model for fz6 but only sold in Canada in 2010. Have you guys had any experience on this model? Any thoughts? Seller said some parts are identical with cbr600rr and asked $4000 or obo. Another 4 cylinder...

Thank you. I’m following this one too. I returned to 2011 versys without abs again. If they lower price a bit, I want to buy it. Since it’s dealership they can store until I get my m2. I contacted to fz6 too it’s a bit far but still considering.

Thank you so much. The lightest trailer is the motorcycle one in uhaul and it’s like 800lbs, the bikes I’m looking for are 420+ lbs, my civic manual says total weight must not exceed 1000 lbs. I think they always put these kind of spec just to be on the safest side but I don’t know. Over 200...

Just to be on the safe side for a novice rider…

Thank you for the advise. I don’t have a hitch, googled a bit, it’ll cost me $500 at least to mount.

NRC Versys was without Abs thats why I eliminated that one. 2009 v strom; not reducing the price and needs at least $1500+ for new tires, accessories etc. It’s a bit far away from me, since I only have m1 right now, I cant ride it back home, no insurance… so need to tow or rent a truck to bring...

hey folks, kinda confused! Not too many adv, sports tourer out there according to my budget. Around 5k with low kms. But loads of cruisers! What if I get a cruiser? It’s weird eh. Main goal for me is daily commute (95 km one way) not sure how comfortable it’ll be with cruiser. Please share your...

Owner wrote it was serviced last year, new battery, oil/filter. Can it still pass safety when tires are old but treads are good? Do you also have the same generation Vstrom?

Me too, definitely needs new tires. So $1000+bags extra cost but of course this only includes parts. Also will need to be installed, at least lighting, heated grips and tires… extra cost right? Do you have any idea? Still pending reply from 2012 one. Will update here.

Found a 2009 v-strom 650, no extras at all, still 3000 km, sill factory tires and asking $5100. What do you guys think? Tires are 13 years old probably need change. How much extra will cost me if I want to add panniers, top case, hand guards, heated grips, engine guards, extra lighting and...

This one turned out a non ABS version.

https://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-touring/st-catharines/used-2011-kawasaki-versys-650-adventure-tourer/m2871385? What do you guys think about this one? It has been up for 3 months and more than 1400 views. I contacted them it is still available. With all the accessories seemed like a good bargain.

Thats what agent kept telling me on the phone. Also she said they don’t insure with just m1. Maybe SS thing is just for beginners like me.

Yeah desjardins told me they dont insure supersports.

I got some quotes from nfp and desjardins for bikes I am considering. Kept it basic coverage just liability for deciding which bike I should get. Prices based on rider training + New M2 rider + age 37 + desjardins has my auto and home insurance already. Nfp desjardins 2016 Honda NC750X...

Hi, did you bundle all your insurance needs with this guy? He told me they didn’t do stand alone motorcycle, if I had home, auto too then he could help…

Do you think model year makes too much difference? If I need to provide that info too for a quote, it will be loads of work for a broker/agent. I don’t know if they would like to help. Because I have 4 bikes in my mind. With year combination it would make at least eight combination.

Could you please share the contact info. of the broker? I would like to get some quotes for the bikes I consider?

Oh ok. I didn’t think just one variable can cause shocking difference. I thought rider age, new licence, engine size(all my preferences around 600 cc), bike type would be enough to determine the cost. I’ll definitely get quote for those.
