Seriously, there is this arguement that larger motorcycles (750,1000, etc) are better for robberies and other criminal acts, but on JAMAICAN ROADS DOES THIS ARGUEMENT REALLY MAKE SENSE? Only an idiot would attempt to use a (LARGER) 200mph hyabusa to do a robbery in the middle of Kingston!

If i am a typical criminal idiot on a small 250cc bike and i am willing to ride as if i have nothing to live for (and actually have moderate skill), please tell me which Jamaican police officer with his wife and kids to go home to would be stupid enough to follow me on thier bike as i escape from a robbery scene? Its not the engine size that matters, but rather the fact that some people are willing to ride recklessly to do thier deed. Because recklessness is LETHAL on ANY bike, cautious police riders will NOT persue.

Midrange bikes are preferred as get-away vehicles because they can manuever through traffic quickly (actually its quick and reckless). In some countries, SCOOTERS are prefferred! So why is there a ban on larger bikes in the name of crime prevention?

I’m looking around for a motorcycle because of high gas prices and insurance is cheaper. So far, I’m interested in a Kawasaki Ninja 250R. What are some other good starter bikes?

Where can I find OEM dirtbike or street bike parts for wholesale prices? I always see people selling new factory packaged parts on ebay for super cheap yet I go on bike bandit and they are expensive! We have been selling used parts online but we want to sell new parts for bikes such as Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, ktm, Kawasaki, etc. Also, how do you become a dealer like chapperell motor sports? I would eventually like to open up my own motor sports shop but I can not figure out how to buy all this stuff for wholesale or in bulk. Thanks!

I was just wondering how bad it is to buy a motorcycle that was rebuilt in terms of everything, insurance, performance, registration. I’m going for a cheap bike either way around 1500$ and I just figured that if it has been rebuilt a lot of the pieces are good right? You can probably tell I don’t know much about bikes.

Any ideas or suggestions. Best miles per gallon from an older model used car (not bikes sorry). Standard gas or diesel fuel only, no electrics, solar or battery or hybrids. Something you can find and buy used today for cheap, and start driving tommorrow - no expensive full coverage insurance necessary to keep banks happy, no monthly loans to worry about, just a minimum no frills piece of transportation that will get you to work and make money. Idea is: you don’t go to work to make money to pay the car, the car takes you to work to make money for YOU.

1982 VW Diesel Rabbit.
1982 Izuzu I-Mark Diesel
1992-2002 Geo/Chevy Metro’s 1.0 liter
VW Jettas, Fox, the Bug (older ones)
Honda Civics, Accords, CRX 1.3 liter motors
Toyota Tercels
Ford Fiestas

The basic assumption here is to pay cash for the car, buy it and register it for cheap mimimum insurance coverage, drive it to work or around town for errands with the least amount of repair and expenses. Must get over 35mpg city.

Hi, I’m 17 years old and looking to get a motorcycle.
I have good grades and will only drive a motorcycle when the "conditions" are right. Like weather, cars on the road Sat. Sun. which has less cars, and going to school and to work.

I don’t care if I "die" and I’m not afraid to die.
I have ,000 saved up in the bank and would like to buy a Ninja 250 for ,500 -2008. Plus 0 for gear and classes.

I will get my driver’s license this December and will take the MSD courses in spring of 2010.

I can’t find any used or cheap ninja 250’s around my area and I think I would rather go stright to the dealer rather then the seller because of too much red tape and work.

I think my insurance will be cheaper because I will ride only to school and work and I have "good" grades. Even though I am young.

SO, is there any place I can find any user friendly bikes or cheap ninja 250’s?

Well I am on the fence between which to get for my first bike. I hear the positives and negatives of both. I would like to hear from anyone but would love to hear from those who have ridden similar bikes like the Suzuki and ridden the Piaggio.

The thing that is pleasing to me with the Piaggio it’s different and has the extra third wheel for extra grip when hitting imperfection along with wet road and grave. I know it can still be dropped but that is one less thing I have to worry about on the road. Seems more friendly for passangers.

The thing I like about the Suzuki is that it’s a bit cheaper (sv650) or the same (Vstrom) and it’s a bike. More power for those times that you can open the throttle to get out of bad situations. Also you can load it up for possible road trips.

The down side with the Piaggio is the cost and only 500cc at max. The Suzuki is that fact that maybe the passanger may not be comfortable on the back on trips.

I would love to travel with my girl.

Thx

So I know this question is going to probably get lots of spam answers from robots and insurance salesmen, but I can tell the difference, so hopefully I get some answers from real people.

What is the cheapest company for motorcycle insurance you’ve ever used? I have one bike (GSXR750), and I plan to buy a second bike, however the insurance company wants to charge me just as much for the second bike as the first. Its pretty rediculous to pay the full cost of both bikes, when you can only ride one at a time. You should be able to just buy one set of liability and collision insurance and use it on both, since your only going to be riding one at a time, you can’t possibly be "liable" for both, or have a "collision" with both at once. So why do you have to pay for both at once?

Anyways, so far the cheapest I’ve personally found is State farm, which is sort of odd because they are definetly not the cheapest when it comes to my car/home insurance. My car/home insurance is much more expensive than state farm on motorcycles. I called geicko for their powersports insurance, and for identical coverage, they want to charge 5X as much, seriously, 5X. State farm is around 0 a year for me, Geico wanted about 0 for the identical package.

Is there any company you’ve used that’s cheaper, or that could allow you to group bikes under one umbrella?

I’m interested in purchasing cheap parts bikes directly from the insurance companies after a wreck. I am mostly interested in Harleys and I don’t have any interest in these gimmicky websites where you pay a fee and there are not a lot of bikes. I’ve looked at ebay but these are usually bikes being sold from the "person" who bought it from the insurance company (ie premium). There are some public auto auctions, but these are usually only limited to dealers. But maybe that is my only choice?

Why does the Canadian Government not like
Low Speed Vehicles?
118 Km per Hour, will save lives?
Low Emissions,No Carbon Tax?
Environmentally Friendly,Less Gas Consumption,cheaper pump Price?
MDI Motors in France has a truck and a car capable of 200 km per Tank of Air.
Tata Motors India has a car that Gets 65 Miles to the Gallon,
Royal Enfield Motorcycles,75 milles to the Gallon,
Diesel Bikes in India, get 100 Km to the Gallon
Why wont they let us in on the Benifits?
The government gets rich and the People get poor,
Last I checked we had a free right to vote for a economical future.

Hi,
I’m 24, male. I plan on getting the Yamaha R6-I’ll be financing the bike.
I have some questions regarding to insurance of the bike.
My friend owns a 06 Suzuki GSXR750, it was his first bike, and he is a fresh bike rider also. But his full coverage is only 0/month.
While searching online (geico, Progressive, allstate), I find out that the full coverage for the bike itself is 7/month-which I found strange. Because I’m older than my friend, he’s 22.
I understand that you need full coverage(collision, comprehensive coverage) when you’re financing a bike. My friend is also financing the bike. But how come his full coverage is way cheaper than what I’ve searched for?
I also picked the 0 deductible on Comprehensive and Collision too. But the lowest I got was 7/month-if not 0/month.
When I decline the Comp and Coll, my coverage is only /month. Why is there a big gap for my full coverage comparing to my younger friend with a bigger cc bike? 600 vs. 750.
We used to be in the military, so they made us take a rider course to be able to operate a motorcycle.
Yes, my friend is currently paying 0/month full coverage. Another friend also has an 06 R6, 22yo, fresh rider-he only pays 5/month through Allstate.
And yes, I have an EXCELLENT credit.
Clean driving record.
I insure my own car.
My choice for bikes are Yamaha R6, or a 2008 Ducati 848

What are the reasons for wanting to upgrade to a larger cc motorcycle?
Smaller bikes are cheaper, better mpg, and better insurance. Is it wanting more power? Or what. The smallest bikes are still faster than most cars on the road.

I’ve been looking into buying a Harley Davidson motorcyle, especially an 2009 Iron 883, but heard from my friends that they are unreliable bikes that break down in a few years. Would like to hear from some HD owners and theire expieriences please. F.Y.I.: I’m a first-timer with this motorcycle thing.
