Nice, and very interesting. I did not know one could lease a motorcycle, this is the first I've heard of it. I do not believe leasing a motorcycle is an option in Canada...I bought my SCR on a straight cash deal, no trade in and no financing. They gave me a deal I couldnt refuse. I have about 3000 kms on mine now and absolutely love it. For me, it's the perfect motorcycle!Ah, nice question. I was heavily considering either a Rebel 300 or 500 for learning to ride on the highway, but I'm doing a 3 year lease and I know that if it becomes something I really love then I'd outgrow it sooner than later.
Ah, I think I got the word wrong and that it is financed, but on a loan through my bank and not a lease. I have the option to pay more than the required payments so I hope to have it payed off entirely in two years. Dealer also took off an additional 500 and is going to take care of my MSF.Nice, and very interesting. I did not know one could lease a motorcycle, this is the first I've heard of it.

So by classes do you mean you're taking a motorcycle course to get your motorcycle drivers licence?Well, I can't share any photos yet and I don't take my classes until next week, but as of today I am the owner of a new SCR950.
Been lurking the last couple weeks and can't wait to join the community. All the best.
Yeah, it's the basic 3-day course for the endorsement on my driver's license.So by classes do you mean you're taking a motorcycle course to get your motorcycle drivers licence?
:surprise::surprise: That's hilarious. I'm certainly looking forward to it.Just use the classes as a chance to test your limits, and it's better to drop their bikes than your new SCR950. I'm sure my old instructor wasn't a fan of me, took a bike out of commission. :grin2:
No....no, no, don't go testing any limits. Use the classes to learn everything you can about motorcycles AND how to safely operate one. Don't ever TEST your limits, learn and know your limits.Just use the classes as a chance to test your limits, and it's better to drop their bikes than your new SCR950.

Oh of course. I'm sure @OpenRoad was being a bit facetious.No....no, no, don't go testing any limits. Use the classes to learn everything you can about motorcycles AND how to safely operate one. Don't ever TEST your limits, learn and know your limits.
Will definitely share what I can and thank you for the advice!patience is the best thing here
seen guys that pushed the limited and they payed for it big time, some got away lucky with a few scrapes.
keep us posted on how class goes, pictures are welcomed![]()
Awesome, looking forward to it.Will definitely share what I can and thank you for the advice!
Fleeing the southern regions in the SCR to move up north would have been a nice ride up. I'm far away from the storm but if i was in that situation it would be my first thought. But not everyone can get up and leave so far away.So this week I was originally going to have a Thursday night class indoors, then a class Sat and Sun morning for riding. Now because of the hurricane, a college game has been moved up in time on Saturday and one of the instructors has tickets to the game so they decided to shrink the class to Thursday and Friday night.
So it looks like I get to ride some bikes tonight and tomorrow. Downside now is that the weather might shut down the DMV first half of next week, so I won't be able to get my new license til later. Probably not too big of a problem though since I'm planning to keep my bike at the dealership until the weather is nicer.
With enough time to leave it could have been a nice ride, but wow, the traffic the last few days on 95 North was terrible. Fortunately I live in the center of the state so we're out of the flooding areas, though it looks like the flooding is only mild; even in the FL Keys.Fleeing the southern regions in the SCR to move up north would have been a nice ride up.
