I’m glad you are having fun. Ride safe.

You’ll have to take a look. There just seems to be banter back and forth between some users and I was just pointing out that everybody has different opinions. If your feelings got hurt in the process I apologize.

It depends on how often you ride on the highway and what matters to you most about riding motorcycles. I went from a fully faired sv650 with a Puig bubble windscreen to the new SV and the difference is big. But would I go back to riding something that’s full of plastic and reminds me that I’m...

There are two things I miss about the 250s I’ve had in the past. 1) The ability to flick it around like a bicycle 2) how easy it was to push it around off the bike Other than that, my SVs (new and old) have outdone them in every way. Sure the 250s can squeeze out 130-140km/h all day long but...

I had a fully faired 2010 SV650s for a long time and I got tired of the riding position. I can say this bike has vastly improved ergonomics for somebody like me who is looking for a more relaxed ride without going full arm chair mode. These ergo measurements are taken from cycle-ergo.com. The...

I outfitted the ride with turn signals that double as daytime running lights. Great for visibility and aesthetically pleasing!

I ended up buying a 2017 SV650 with 6400km on it. It’s a friggen BLAST and didn’t break the bank (much). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is the rebel 500 a cruiser or more of a standard? I couldn’t actually tell.

Hey all, I’ve recently sold my second generation fully faired sv650 and I’m looking for new wheels. I’m interested in hearing the differences between the two bikes as well as the differences between the bike I sold and the third (newest) generation sv650. My riding preferences have changed a...

Sorry for not updating this thread. It was the couriers fault as they hadn't updated any of the information even when it was shipped. I had called GP bikes again and they had somebody search the warehouse only to come up empty handed so it wasn't their fault. I received the product late, it...

I ordered 2 pairs of heated grips on January 5th from GP Bikes. They were closed for the motorcycle show from January 5th to January 8th so I figured they would ship a day or two after that, but they didn't. I gave them a call on the morning of January 12 and they said they had a lot of things...

Maybe it isn't a wise choice but it's still his choice. What if he puts 15,000km on his 300? What if he owns it for 5 years before "upgrading"? Don't listen to people about not modding your first bike. If you are able to afford it go ahead and make your first bike awesome, but please try...

Have been in the same location for the past 20 years as a front for several other businesses hehehe

I've had companies ask me how many years have I been insured, followed by asking if I've ever had any gaps in my insurance over the past 'X' years, followed by a "why"? My scenario was that I was involved in a collision with an animal so I was bike-less while searching for a new one.

You MAY pay taxes when it comes across the border. I've ordered dozens of things from China worth more than $100 and only half the time I pay duties and taxes. Most of the time they mark down the prices to help with you getting dinged. Also, the SJCAM Elite is awesome. My coworker just got...

I believe your point of view has been beaten to death already and he pretty much has taken good advice to heart.

Look around on Kijiji and see if it's a good price. Also why would he be willing to sell it to you at cost if he just repaired it?

Love that bike. I started on the 250 and it was a blast.

Yep. If you want a racing helmet Shoei designed the X series specifically for racing.

You should be able to take a loan from the bank to buy used if you find the rates you get from them are better than the financing rates. That way you'll save yourself $1700, possibly more if the rates from your bank is better. The dealerships also often have used motorcycles which are always...
