My ninja 250r was 35 bucks with icbc
And now gixxer 600 is 65 bucks
It's just about double.
I have max discount
In terms of 600
Get the one that you like the style the best.

I've got a not really a Motorcycle question, but might be the good place for it.
So around my home and work there are a few crack heads that have shitty old mountain bikes that have a little 49cc engine bolted to it. Are those illegal to ride? If you put a motor on a bicycle, does it not become a moped? Obviously you can't get insurance for it. But are you allowed to use them on public roads?

Yea, they are very illegal on public roads. I saw one pulled over a couple of years ago by a cop. Maybe muffle the shit out of the exhaust and disguise the engine as a battery pack. lol.
It's interesting they use an 80cc motor in it. Probably a standard kit package designed to fit on a whole bunch of bicycles. May be legal on dirt paths.

I think you're typically looking at $900 minimum for a one piece leather suit. You could go textile but they're almost throwaway the first time you go down, while leather will handle a number of slide outs.

I did the nerdy wet weather thing yesterday and went to Holeshot to sit on some bikes.
I sat on a KTM RC390, which is a bike I have thought is very cool. It has a very upright riding position and the grips are high and easily accessible. I can imagine this would be a comfortable bike to ride.
Earlier in the day I had read an article in Sport Rider comparing the 1299, S1000RR and the new R1... and it was clear that the R1 had (by far) the most aggressive rider ergonomics. I found it pleasantly accessible. The clip-ons felt fractionally higher than mine and the seat fractionally lower. No question it's an aggressive riding position. I adore the TFT display.

I have a huge boner for the rc390. Hard to get past the 1 cylinder exhaust note though. 50hp is plenty for the city. Same as my gf's old gsxr400. Would like to feel the difference on a new single vs an old straight 4 making similar power. Really want to test ride one
