an m2 will get your rate down. your m1 is only good for 3 months max... so go do your m2, get it, and call places back... do you have a car? if so, throw it under state farm. and you will pay pennies for the bike. state farm rates by engine size. next time... make these calls before buying...

i guess i agree with you... i sort of gloss over it in my post... and that putting aside theory, in the real world, you physically see bikes lasting just as long as cars in places with 12 month riding seasons. they do spin a lot faster, they do undergo more stress... but if maintenance...

this ones a better vid of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCmDGmpFt6M it seems to happen instantly when he pulls in clutch at speed, its like he wants to shift, but the bike shuts down before he can... looks like throttle blipping would help, but still, you shouldnt have to be constantly...

sounds like this is what's happening... and it looks like you are nowhere near the only one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBUDrb_-YO0&feature=player_detailpage#t=39s take the bike back to the dealer... get them to fix it or give you another bike... i dont agree with his riding style... but...

well... mileage all seems to depend on area. in canada we dont get a lot of warm months, and thus, not a lot of mileage in general. although there are those who are an exception to this rule. i'm currently in australia, and winter is approx 20 celsius. however, the average 3 year olf bike has...

some people just are not comfortable pulling out large amounts of cash like that and moving around the city. what about counterfeit bills? i would be more worried about counterfeit bills, than about counterfeit cert cheque. also, everyone seems to be really paranoid about how people are always...

^^^^ sidestand switch sounds like it might be at fault here. but regardless of that take it back to them and get them to fix it. just because if something goes wrong, its best to have it documented. this way you can point back to problems starting at day one... basically, keep your *** covered

seems to be a lot of positive reviews on the alpinestars boots. i almost bought a pair, but didnt in the end. the thing with boots, when i look for htem, i try to bend them in every possible direction, and if htey bend in a way i dont want my ankle bending... then they're not a good boot. but...

essentially, cars are superior and more practical in every way imaginable. but bikes are just more fun.

and from what i've gathered from reading stolen bike threads over the years. it seems to me that thieves generally do use the stolen plates.

but kidnapping people is something the police look at as important... stealing motorcycles, they say call your insurance company...

because bikes never get stolen during the day... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D96QM-lzLM8&feature=related

car is 100% the more practical decision here. a bike is a toy... and costs for bike v car... if you're looking affordable then i assume its a smaller compact car you're looking for. a bike will probably burn more gas. and compare oil change costs of $35(car) and $80-ish(bike)... not too sure on...

if its one signal: bulb if its multiple signals: -check fuses, if those are good.. -i will bet on the relay

its not your fault, if you read some threads on here you get the idea that bikes are going to explode after non-winterization... you know... with oil turning into acid, gas into apple juice, and the evil salt monsters clawing at your garage looking for any kind of nook or cranny to crawl through...

having spent a lot of time on both bikes... and having owned one... i can say from my personal experience, there there is nothing similar about their riding positions... but hey, different people ride different bikes and find comfort in different things. as for the soft seat being a bad...

a cbr is comfortable by sportbike standards.... but it is night and day to the striple.... -the seat on a street triple is much more comfortable and infinitely more soft -the riding position is upright compared to the cbr's hunched position (like all ss bikes) -narrow low clip ons (cbr) vs high...

sure, they're smarter than the people that look and act like them that dont own bikes. :)

i agree with dave. in my emergency braking scenarios... i slammed my brakes while down shifting, and then held those brakes as i continued shifting down through lower gears as speed went down more. i never waiting to downshift to start my braking. i think the very first lever you grab should be...

the ducati is gorgeous. but i hate the dry clutch. also take a look at triumph daytona 675. contrary to popular belief, there is no high maintainance costs on those, costed me the same as any other bike i've owned. and htey look hawt.
