Rider's plus does sport bikes now?

This thread reminds me a of a post I made last year... Give it a quick read and it ought to shed some light on the REAL COST OF OWNING A MOTORCYCLE! http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?148438-The-REAL-cost-of-owning-a-motorcycle%85 Cheers

The bike as it stood outside Canadian Tire after I dropped a whopping $3.19 on fuel stabilizer to mix with my tank of Shell V Power... Sunday may have been the last day. Cold tires, cold roads, cold hands make my whole body cold!

Cool pic bro! Cool story bro?

Nice meeting all of you guys and gals! Great group of riders... Looking forward to the next event. Cheers Gixxer_dave = Dave + white gsx-r600

I will be there. Looking forward to meeting some new people! been lurking this forum for a while and am finally coming for a ride with you all. :)

I too have the full akra shorty... >>> I'm quite certain I have hearing damage after one season with it :s .... Maybe I ought to put the baffle back in. OP: Akra quality and craftsmanship is top notch. In the world of "you get what you pay for," this is true for Akra... Pricey but well worth it.

Interesting concept! Nope -- have yet to make money riding a bike... Except for the fact that I used my bike in the middle of the day to hit up a machine shop to pick up some parts for work... Got paid $.40 per km in addition to my salary... so yeh, I did get paid! Considering the cost of gas on...

That's disappointing news about the stacks... A good buddy of mine has always sworn by them on all three of his R6's... but, stacks are half price for an R6 as compared to a Gsxr tho.... I guess I'll be forwarding you the money that I planned on throwing away :o ... Also, I thought I'd start...

Wow. Thanks for taking the time to lay out the costs. I'm debiting using my street bike for track use because the cost of the track bike is really where the big costs are added. But, I like the low(ish) costs associated with using a street bike on the track (obviously, not considering any...

Re: Rider down in Georgetown - RIP So sad for this loss that affects us all. RIP.

I agree with you. I was wondering why the service manual said to replace them at 12,000 km... But, seeing as this is my first bike, and I'm new to motorcycling... I'm taking a rather conservative approach and following the recommended scheduled maintenance as best I can. I do have the old plugs...

Wow, 3 bikes in 4 years? I hope I don't go through them that quick, but, who knows... That's quite the haul of money when you add multiple years, can't wait for my Season #2 to begin... Good ol' insurance. Sometimes I wonder if it's better to live your life without ever making a claim, or, to...

Great to hear! I'm glad you like it. I hope you guys got in as much riding this season as I did!

I ran some numbers in my head, and decided, Yikes! haah. I'll wait til next year to unload the money I can save over the winter! :S :) Please do detail the track bike costs if you can. I'm going to be honest, and state that I'm mostly oblivious to the charges one can rack up via track riding!....

ebay good sir!

Hahah... wow. Thanks for the kind words and varying sorts of replies fellas. This is a true snapshot of how friendly the motorcycling community is at large :) I had as great of a time reading all of your posts as I did writing the post... Make no mistake, I fully admit that this list is subject...

Greetings, I bought my first motorcycle at the beginning of April 2011, and for any of you on the fence about what bike to buy, and how much to spend, take a closer look below of a blurb I’ve written below which summarizes my experiences with the REAL cost of owning a motorcycle. Now, before...

Hello, I am looking for an individual, or, a local dealer/vendor that can help me find some velocity stacks for my 2009 Suzuki GSX-R600... I am looking for Factory Pro stacks, or, something similar. I've also 'heard' of people making their own stacks in their own machine shops. If you have a...

From my personal experience, I had a pair of the yellow "bendy" stands and got rid of them after the first time I used them. Here is why: Rear yellow stand: Once the bike was lifted on the spools, the bike's weight was only marginally past the tipping point. If a bird sat on my seat while on...
