BMW C600 Sport

So our weather has been really cold and today -40 with wind chill. Yesterday I decide to do what any weather bound person would do. I go looking at bikes - lol. For a while I have been thinking about a second set of wheels because............. So I look at the usual suspects of TMax, Burgman and BMW...

Re: NC750x DCT

The only DCT transmission we get in Canada is the NM4. Some brain surgeon at Honda Canada does not like larger scooters or DCT transmissions on bikes.

Re: New Red Honda PCX

I should hire you to pimp my ride! It's a relatively minor point but Honda for a fairly small sum could just make our rides a bit more interesting. Great job in raising the looks to another level.

Re: 2014 HONDA GROM

It would be great to take the motorcycle safety course or drivers exam with. :) When I did rider training last year, there were I think 5 Groms in a mixture of 20 or so bikes to train on. The others were all CBR125 bikes. So yes, some folks did train and get their G2 Ontario, Canada graduated licen...

Re: Givi Monokey vs Monolock

I became a GP customer when I lived in Mississauga. Still a haul across Toronto. Bought 2 bikes, several helmets, etc. there. Good folks. I wish they still sold scooters. Scooters a tough sell in Canada and several brands like Honda and BMW have cut back on models they sell here. Toronto surprises ...

Re: Givi Monokey vs Monolock

jon_l - I am really sorry but I am not much help on the PCX as my scoot is the Forza. I am likely wrong but I didn't think Givi made a Monokey plate for the PCX. I am sure someone here will however correct me and say one or there is a workaround of some kind. On the Forza it was about 20 min to dril...

Re: Kymco 2015 Downtown 300i and Xciting 500i

Unless I missed it, nobody has mentioned the TMAX (especially the new 2015) which may be the best power to weight scoot on the road bar none. I don't think BMW or Burgman are as city friendly for sure. Forza is the largest scoot Honda brings to Canada if we forget the NM4 which I looked at again in ...

Re: Ride to the Big River In Southern Missouri

Great pics and jealous of you. We still have another 6 weeks or so of true winter where you simply see no bikes of any kind out. Temperatures are close to -20 on average and too much ice to even think of riding.

Re: On Board Cameras

While ease of mounting is important I got some comments specifically for bikes from a friend who films ads for TV and uses Gopro extensively. From a viewers perspective, keeping the horizon as horizontal as possible is important. Generally a helmet mounted cam or a chest mounted one is better as on ...

Re: FORZA seat lift Fix like this

I have to think Honda could have made a change for 2015 after what I hear is a very frequent warranty replacement item. My dealership mechanic said as much as 50% of the seat mechanisms are at some stage of failure on the incoming bikes for service. Of course that figure may not be the same globally...
