TE - I got the WR thinking i'll do some off road riding but after a few attempts I decided that supermoto was the real rush I'm after. Last year the WR was my track/streetbike but as I'm sure you know riding sidewalks during rush traffic in downtown to Toronto may be fawn upon by the pedestrians. I had to get something that does not like the to pop the front wheel if I was going to keep my license. After 2 hours in the vintage section at the bike show I was hooked!
Mr Breeze - ya the 500t is without exhaust in the picture. I had the bike for 30 min and started messing around with it. I pulled it of just to check if i could get some of the surface rust off. The more important question is what do i do with that truck pipe on my 550?
Andy - insurance is killer, you may as well just give me the G/F's phone number and save yourself the painful move. If the insurance is mot enough motivation then how about the 6 months of freezing weather? Joking aside, ya we get the gang bang insurance rates up here. My fzr 400 was $800, F4i was $1000, GSXR 750 was $1200, WR450 is ~700. These rates are just one way crash and cry coverage I have no idea what they will want for the CB's I have yet to register them.
