Hey all,

Soon to be new rider here -- I must confess I've been lurking here a while, as I wasn't able to get my M1/M2 license before winter set in here in Ontario. With that said, I've already picked up the required gear, and am making a go at riding this spring, hopefully on a red/silver CBR250RA.

Welcome aboard matey.

Thanks -- I should also add that if anyone knows of a great deal on one (with abs) here in Ontario, please post/reply. I know Honda Canada has a few promos at the moment (extra year warranty, will match $250 if you put down >$250, $100 loyalty discount, etc), but wondering if dealers will also come down/drop the PDI much like they will on a car. If I could somehow get the bike for $5000-5500 or less out the door (MRSP here is $4999 for ABS) it would be amazing.

Welcome:
There are two on Kijiji. One black with 2K kms minor fairing damage for 3 G's & one red 3K kms for 4G's. Both are in Markham. Red is non abs. Black doesn't say.

I'm planning to visit Toronto this April. Which roads do you guys use to get good speeds on?

Load your suitcase with lots of parts and save us the shipping.

Interesting idea, sendler. I am willing to help as long as I make money at doing it and don't stuck with stuff and people changing their minds. I would need to be paid in advance because I don't have the funds to buy stuff for people anyway.

Lots of Canadians!

Welcome.

Well just pulled the trigger -- Brand new (still in crate) 2011 CBR250RA in red/silver. Arguably from calling around and visiting various dealerships, it was one of the last ones (with ABS in red) near Toronto.

Guess I officially say I have PMS now - Parked Motorcycle Syndrome LOL.
