    Is mileage too low?

    I saw this 2000 BMW F650GS with 22000km on Facebook Marketplace. The owner sent me a service book and it shows the ast service was in 2014 at 14000km (last service not stamped). He says it has been standing for the last 4 years, I'm not sure if it has been serviced since then. Is the mileage...

    Is this V-Strom well priced?

    I'm considering buying privately to avoid high dealer prices but most private sellers don't have full service history which is understandable since some people DIY service or have partial service history. Most sellers don't allow test drives, how do I ensure I'm not buying a lemon and getting...

    Is this V-Strom well priced?

    Today I went to the dealership with the intention of test driving the Wee but was a bit intimidated by it's big size. The salesperson suggested that I should try Honda NC700X (with Akrapovic exhaust) and oh boy was I blown away! I was grinning all the way. I can flat foot it, it's light, it's...

    Is this V-Strom well priced?

    I'm planning to use it exclusively for commuting on tar, mostly on highway. I might keep the Xpulse if I don't get a good offer on it but so far I haven't explored offroad or adventure riding.

    Is this V-Strom well priced?

    Thanks @TheBear The bike looks great to me as well and I like that it has panniers with matching colour. I've heard that it's fork seals have a tendency to leak. What red other red flags should I look for?

    Road rage not worth it

    Absolutely. I used to be easily upset and overly reactive when offended but since riding I'm more calm and that has also helped me to be more courteous to other road users even when on a cage.

    Road rage not worth it

    I've seen a couple of posts on this forum (and elsewhere) of riders kicking or punching mirrors of cagers as a "punishment" for almost being knocked over. I want to share with you a video below where a rider was shot by a cager for doing that. Please, let's be safe and avoid road rage in every...
