    The viffer is a great bike and handles well for a beginner to ride it. The question is the rider experince. On the road, it is a differnt world and I have seen way too many first time riders buy brand new bikes and take only less than 6 months before they are making a insurance claim.

    It is the best to take a MSF course and get yourself a reliable used bike for your first year or two of riding. Once you logged in the miles and understand the enviroment/awareness required to be a skilled rider, then you can get that new bike and not worry about a pending insurance claim.

    Stinger sounds like a good deal puts out about the same hp as viffer & lighter a good wheelie machine if thats what you want sold my ninja zx 10 for a vfr my buddies tell me i whent down to chick bike or a one step up from a scooter , ya what ever. a vfr is not a wheelie machine but at least i dont need an ass transplant or new back every time i go for a long ride the power on the zx was unreal but not needed for the street. 600 r is same prone riding position i just found it too painfull and not enjoyable on long rides.

    Well I have my choice of black or white, both have the ABS option. Looking at a high rez photo, I'm partial to the white.

    Does 14k Cdn out the door seem fair?
