I dare some of you to not look at this ad and not cream your pants.

See, that's just mean. My bike is at my parents' place since the weekend, and the weather in Toronto's been friggin' nice the past few days, and all I see is people getting some last rides in.

1992 Suzuki Bandit 400; sounds good but upon checking the listing at the store, "needs carbs overhauled." Not that I plan on buying it, but anyone know about Bandits?

This is what a fat man looks like on a sportbike. Dude should've gone with the Harley.



You broke how WaffleImages is supposed to work. Never link or post anything that doesn't say img.waffleimages.com. Now I can't see fat dude. :(

I should stop going onto Craigslist because I've now found one of my dream bikes, BMW K75, right in my own drat neighbourhood.

My neighbour has a W650, I keep meaning to get pics when it's not covered. Could have had a great shot of it and my CB400T last month when I was wrenching on the street, but there ya go.

Sorry, had this posted in the other thread. I guess this is more of a "how's the price?" question. I should not be allowed on Craigslist, especially while my Honda's still in storage.

The Canadian Dollar is as close to parity with the USD as I've ever seen.
1200 USD is 1212.84 in Moon Money today.

Canadian prices are still higher for some (baffling) reason, though.
CAN$ went over US$ in 2007. Exchange rates have little to do with historic pricing though. The market is also tiny compared to the US for bikes, so they hold their value.

Ok. So I REALLY like the look of the Hyosung GT250 Comet's

There's an advertisement for one at $1000 with 14,000km.

The only problem with the bike is that it needs a new rear brake, rear tire and battery.

Would it be worth it to buy it, winterize it as much as possible to prevent damage, and work on it during the fall/winter to get it running? I would love to learn about motorcycle engines and I just want something to do during the fall and/or winter.

It starts up and runs, but just needs that new brake, battery and tire.

Here's the advertisement

How about a nice CX500?

I'm going to put it to you this way. European messengers screamed so loud at suzuki when they put that bike out of production, that suzuki put it BACK INTO production to satisfy the demand.

They're great bikes. Do not pass it up, especially for that price.

If I had a garage, I would've been all over that without hesitation.

Just went and saw/test rode this 2007 Bandit 650S. I really found nothing wrong with it, and the price for the Toronto area is pretty darn good. The controls and body position are a bit different from the ol' CB400T, but not too far forward for my liking.

Really dug my short test ride. Of course it helps going from a 32 year old bike that needs engine work to a 5 year old fuel injected I4 with twice the power! :D Is tempting...


EDIT: wrong year (looking at too many ads lol)

So here's my dilemma.

This guy is willing to sell his 2010 DL650 for $7,500. As you can see, it has all the trimmings. It also has 20K kms in 2 years, meaning it hasn't ever sat in a garage for very long.



The alternative is a 2012 DL650 for $9,000. It's the demo model at my local dealership. It has no trimmings.

I'm definitely going to want at least bags, heated grips, engine guard, centre stand. Is this a no-brainer and I should get the used 2010? If I do, will I be missing out on significant 2012 improvements?

Get the 2010 if there's nothing wrong with it.

Any time you switch from a japanese bike to a european bike all your maintenance and random bits cost like eleven times as much.
Yeah true. I don't have a garage and only have street parking, so I figure I'll actually stick to tractors for now.
