Thank you @kurtrules and @oioioi is right...it was repainted by the previous owner, I'm guessing a crash most likely. No frame damage or leaks or anything abnormal. For the price I paid, it looked like a decent deal...will find out.

Yeah I did notice that, especially on the highway. Thanks for the pointer, will try this.

Sure, I will reach out to you separately :) Yeah I got lucky...target fixation and lack of focus. Familiar roads so wasn't paying a 100% attention. Thank you :)

Yeah, a 2007 FZ6. Went out for what is my usual season opener ride today. The last time I did my season opener on my SV, things didn't go as planned lol. The usual route - Palgrave, Hockley Valley, Mono-Relessey, River Rd, 2 Line E and back home. Skipped Creemore this time. They rebuilt the...

@PacoT If you want to head up to Tobermory, take the ferry and ride this loop https://www.routeyou.com/en-ca/route/view/6055993/touring-motorcycle-route/manitoulin-loop I have been planning to go to SSM and Wawa for the last 2 years, hopefully this year. We will see.

You got to provide them a vin # and that's the only time you can be sure they will insure you. I have had insurance for over 3 years and I'm in my mid thirties. None of the insurance I called would insure me on a SS (they would but it doesn't make sense to me). As a well wisher, it's a...

Do they care if it's plated? I always thought you can get an insurance for anything that has a vin number (plated or unplated). That said, if there is an option for parking insurance (the way they have for cars), that should also count towards insurance history, right?

Daytona 675/765. Always wanted to own one (still do). Maybe someday :) Keep an eye out for demo days, PowerTO and Serpa had it last year, which is when I got a chance after wanting to ride for many years.

Not sure about the price but the odometer shows 19K km and not 192K km as written in the ad, unless I'm missing something. That last digit denotes meters.

You guys should get a room :p Congrats on the new bike! Hoping to see it sometime in flesh.

Recently got a similar ticket, 62 at a 50 zone. Never realized they planted a cam there, right next to my house. I usually drive/ride within 10 over the limit in the city limits, never had an issue so far. I was charged 23 bucks over the ticket (3$ convenience fees). Still don't know what the...

Anyone in Toronto or nearby?

Congrats @sburns ! Can't go wrong with a vstrom.

4.5 - 5K on avg with no useful mods. If I buy one, I'll have to do the suspensions which is more $$. Personally, I don't like FZ6. It's too heavy and more of a tourer, but even '15-16 RC390s are going for 4.5gs which is a bit hard to digest for me. Someone put a deposit 2 days before I was...

Thanks Shane! Bruised ego and disappointment more than anything. Just need a cheap decent bike for the next couple of years. SV prices are right up there. FZ6 is the only one that could be cheap on insurance. Didn't check the insurance for FZ1 though. I'm talking about FZ6 and not the FZ6r which...

Yeah, got lucky. I'll check 'em out, thanks!

I had to lay her down aka crashed it.

Lol, I'm looking at one right now. Might even consider buying it. The ones with character are too expensive, some for no reason at all.

You missed the part where everyone gets paid a ton of money in the process of creating this report :p

I'm not sure if post covid extensions are still applicable, but if it were not then you're probably looking at starting from M1 iirc irrespective of how many years of experience you got. If you have access to an insured bike, you can do M1X (M2) at a drive test instead of an institute but for...
