Well, the next question is what style motorcycle do you want? Do you want a sportbike, cruiser, dual sport, touring, chopper. There are different styles so what style do you want?

Is this your first bike? I wouldnt recommend anything bigger than a 250-500

Also budget a good $500 for gear (helmet, gloves, armored jacket, boots) and another couple hundred for training/licensing. Dont buy a bike till you have the safety gear + training.

I hear its hard as hell to get a motorcycle license in Canada. Good luck.

This is mine. Love it.

That looks nice, how long does training run for?

If you don't mind me asking is insurance High?

My insurance is only like 600 a year but I had an accident so its def gonna go up when I renew. I hear its more in Canada. Call up insurance + ask them for a quote on something like a Kawasaki Ninja 250

Training here is only like 2-3 days but its good if youve never ridden a bike before.

Damn what is that and how much is it? Thats a sex machine :bow: Also seems to me you live in Manhattan. You stow it when it snows and take the MTA or do you have a dirt bike too for that?

I crashed it and decided not to replace the plastic

Wintertime I put it in storage. $100/mo.... not much more than insurance :yeshrug:

It was like $3000. 2006 with 250 miles. Bikes are pretty cheap, esp in the winter. Trying to get out of NYC though so I can ride all year. Prob gonna get a 1000cc V twin when I leave.

Def gotta start small though. shyt is no joke. I was lucky in both of my crashes.

This guy knows what he's talking about. I don't know how it goes in Canada but with $5k, you should be able to get anything you want and have some left over for gear, insurance, and accessories.

It looks way better without the plastic.

Dangerous man , why do it
Somehow I knew the poster named "Fatal" would be anti motorcycle lol.

Its worth it man. Building confidence, never being stuck in traffic, getting an open stretch and cracking it open like :russ:, the sounds....

I will say this though.... you def have to be mature with them... if I had got mine like 3-4 years ago, I would prob be dead.
