Not me! Thanks guys.
So we settled privately. Anyone order anything from Partzilla? Seems like I can save $100 even after shipping and exchange rate. Shipping is via USPS/Canada Post so there should be no duties or taxes.
chopped up a danmoto exhaust to half its original size. test fitted and sounds amazeballs. gonna go get a proper exhaust clamp and some aluminum stock to bend up a hanger. too bad its suppose to rain tomorrow...
Btw, becareful out there. So many retards on the road today cutting us off, right turn Infront of us when we're in the turning lane and they in the middle lane, driving on the wrong side of the road, people reading magazines while driving and some dude writing a damn essay while driving
I am deciding if I should insure as well..... its too expensive to insure with ICBC and Beacon is a no go for me =/
Megson Fitzpatrick?

I'm moving away from Beacon. It was worth it with a newer bike but not an older one. I'll just add ICBC's fire and theft for now maybe full comprehensive until I'm eligible for BCAA coverage.
I can't believe an R3 costs that much to insure. That's close to kchan's 1199. Any discounts?

It does for all motorcycles greater than 111cc. 110cc and less gets no discounts.
Have you looked at private optional? I currently pay for my Vino 125 (same rate class as your R3) $45 a month in Vancouver or $38 a month in Kelowna for basic with $1 mil extended liability through ICBC. That's with 43% discount.
Optional:
Beacon - $225 collision and comp, but they only valued my bike at $1000 minus $500 deductible = not worth it. To be fair though, I bought this coverage when I had the CBR 125R with a replacement value of $3360.
Megson Fitzpatrick - $161 collision and comp with $500 deductible or $188 with $250 deductible. Scooter and accessories valued at $1900.
BCAA - no quote yet, have to have had a Class 6 license for 12 months or more.
Not sure what the requirements are for Megson but I pay $37x a year for my Niner which seems reasonable. ICBC I usually do monthly I think it's like $85 p/month give or take 850cc.

$1k deductible, $42k bike value. Megson quoted me a lot less than ICBC. However they need the bike appraised if it's not inline with blue book values. Apparently they also price match if you plan on shopping around.
Will be getting quotes from Beacon/BCAA in the next few days.
