Z650, cause you spent so much time and love on it. But I'm a taller guy with a bad knee and hip that doesn't like cruisers so I'm biased lol.

@V-Tom if my insurance rates were cheaper I think that'll be my end bike. My Cb500x 100/month, quoted vstrom 650 150/month ? need to do my time and age faster lol. I mean 600$ a year isn't a super big deal but it could be spent elsewhere on a yearly basis..

Thanks all will try the suggestions above!

@GreyGhost I wanna say no.. Cause it's a cheapy exhaust from ebay I bought just for some sound improvement lol. I think it's meant to be bad quality ? just trying to see if I can fix it for cheap. Spent like $80 instead of a genuine exhaust that seems to be priced at $200+++

I haven't noticed any issues after doing some research and riding for the past 1k km, the mid pipe just seems to be sliding out of place (the inner side) and I have to loosen, shove it together, and retighten every few hundred km. So it seems my current inner diameter is prob 45mm? Whereas I...

@J_F any idea how much they'd run for? Never heard of any before ? and anyone have a shop they recommend? I'm in the Richmond hill area, but willing to travel if needed.

Searched a bit but no luck finding a seller.. But where can I get a midpipe for a cb500x, od is 51mm, id seems to be 42.5mm. Much appreciated.

Rode to work as well, chilly but manageable. Didn't clock much this year.. 4k in 3 months ?

@anterabae ? theyre crazy, missing out on the fun and the big grins on our faces this time of the year

I had some installed on my ninja 300 couple years ago, as bad as stock mirrors were, the bar ends were much worse. I rather do the chicken wing dance than not see anything at all. But I'm a bigger guy, 6'2 and wide shoulders.

@r3r3r3 am out right now, not bad at all. Been out for about an hr

Thurs night. Nothing stuck on the ground so whatever, still down to ride. Slow and steady > no riding at all ?

Rode to work today, nice and warm. But then again I'm only about a 20ish min ride. I'll take any riding over no riding ☺️

Went for a quick ride around noon, just up woodbine to the end and back down the 404. Fleece jeans, soft shell fleece lined jacket and a leather on top, I think it was around 8c. Pretty warm.

I think with little or even no experience like myself, as long as you get used to some basics (turning right, Esp. sharp rights, is harder Imo cause throttle is there, takes a bit getting used to) and don't let the ego get the best of you on the way home, you'll be fine. Full stop for turning...

@bigpoppa almost. It was expiring Sept, got the bike in July then went for m test around Aug before it expired lol everything went well

I got my m2 in 2012, never rode again til my first bike in 2017. Bought from a dealership, went behind the dealership for about 30mins getting use to it, then just rode home. I drive as well, so the whole watching for traffic etc isn't new. It's just the changing gears and getting used to...

I think I found my problem, which is my leathers a bit loose, so I went the cheap route first and got the Costco one. That was enough to fill the gap plus fleece lined for minimal warmth. Tested sat night and sun morning around the 5-8c mark. Worked well. Will see again once I ride in the -5c...

@Mad Mike you think polar fleece or the one I posted is better? Under a leather jacket. Men's Midway Jacket Primary_27795&utm_campaign=Viglink Primary&utm_content=27795&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=impact&utm_term=506982#230380%5Bcolor%5D=BLACK

@robertv19 I'm looking at this right now https://www.marks.com/en/helly-hansen-mens-midway-jacket-230380.html#230380%5Bcolor%5D=Black Not a bad price, but if I were to go cheaper, maybe one from Costco like this...
