    To buy for Love or Logic?

    Advise given to get something that does have that smile effect is great, thanks. No sense in spending even $1 if not something that raises the heart rate. Does that need to require maxing out your limit? Salesman will say yes it does.... Initial sense of urgency is dissipating at least...

    To buy for Love or Logic?

    Nice ride. Buddy has one too. Sooo smooth and even though it has power I did not feel overly intimidated, it was a bit. He wants nobbies for it, not sure I want to drop it on him though... Friendships have limits I'm sure ;) The bike I'm looking at is pretty, no "flaws" that I know of. Choice...

    To buy for Love or Logic?

    More than one bike?!? Now you're talking, only problem is I will want them all!! I know it won't be my "only" bike, I just don't want to miss the "rush" of getting that first (cruiser) bike. I have a small CBR that was my very first starter, build skills and confidence and all that. So I've...

    To buy for Love or Logic?

    I've been looking for a starter cruiser for a few months, reading as many reviews and opinions as possible. Driving everyone around me crazy by obsessing on bikes. But as spring approaches I know I'm going to need to make a choice. I also know that even though I've done as much research as I...

    WTB Vulcan 500 or Yamaha 650 - 2nd bike

    Tried a sports bike, but not my thing. Loving the sport, but looking for cruiser I can insure cheap and won't out grow for a few years. Been scoping Kijiji to the point of obsession. I can liquidate about $3000 cash, if I can sell a 2008 CBR 125 (good condition) I'll have more, but the Honda...

    2013 Touring Plans

    If off-roading with a jeep, miles of logging roads off Hwy129. Hwy's are mint around there too. Rapids next to 129 are great, bring a tube and take turns going down. I'll be posting a travel plan when I have dates, but Aug long weekend is pretty much a lock.

    2013 Touring Plans

    I'm hoping to make it up to the 129-ish area this summer too. Saw that a group of CBR125s made the journey and inspired me, also I have a buddy in Blind River who hosts an outdoor backyard concert. Camping and local vendors included... ya, I'm plugging his event, good friend for a very long...

    Hiccup/gasp cruising in 4-5th gear

    I'll check/replace the plugs. It's a 2008, but was bought from dealer in 2010 and only use premium fuel, so not that bad. Doesn't sound like a kinking issue, I would think the problem would be more frequent if it were. But the plug and injector cleaning sound plausible. Will check filters too...

    Hiccup/gasp cruising in 4-5th gear

    First change was more practise(first time ever) and I used the wrong oil. Small engine with high revs, I read that frequent oil changes are best way to ensure long term health.

    Hiccup/gasp cruising in 4-5th gear

    I have a 2008 CBR 125, when cruising in 4th or 5th there is occasionally a short hiccup or gasp. I've had the bike about 3 months and put about 1700Km on it, with 2 self administered oil changes and due for one shortly. It had 1700Km to start, I'm the 3rd owner....bit of history never hurts...

    Stiff Shoulders

    Thanks everyone. Tried using my core more tonight and it did make a difference. Until I hit the Gardener (first time on highway) for a few exits...definitely tense on the bars! Still, feels better using core and holding tighter with my knees.... Flapping my elbows feels like I'm doin the funky...

    Stiff Shoulders

    Been riding my new(almost) CBR125 for about a month. Went up to Newmarket from the Beaches and between my shoulders started to get really stiff and sore. I'm not sure my posture is correct. I've read about conditioning my core. As for posture, what is "good" on a little CBR? I think I'm...

    14 days New Vehicle Insurance on existing Policy

    When shopping for insurance for a 4X4 truck, I was informed by one very helpful agent that all insurance policies in Ontario come with a standard clause that any new vehicle purchased by the policy holder will be covered for up to 14 days. The policy holder must inform the insurance company of...

    CBR125 Dirty Bars Project

    I'm totally no questioning why you're going through the convertion. Makes total sence. I can get a decent 125 for 1500, put 500 into it and get a dual sport bike. Makes even more sence for me as a new rider looking for a first ride. I can resell once I out grow OR turn into dual sport and keep...

    CBR125 Dirty Bars Project

    Wow, Michelin on sale for $20/25. Thought that would have been the most expensive mod. I'm new to bikes, sorry if this is a dumb question... Why change the Handlebars, why benefits does it give you?

    Used Bike: Too low KMs?

    Looking for a used first ride. What should I expect to replace on an older bike with crazy low KMS? 2007 Ninja with 75KMs... yep, pic of Odamete4r showing 41miles... says it was imported from US, registered in ONT currently, but not recently plated. I'm thinking tires would be rotted, but what...
