Yea, Was looking at them and the Grom. I need to build leg strength and flexibility again before i could look at anything higher then a cruiser. But for the amount of time per week i have for riding..the Navi made sense. Ultimately i will likely look for another honda CB or a Yamaha XS650 at some point. I wish there was a local RE dealer around here so i could see if any of the RE line up would work.

What do you need out of a bike? Just a low seat?

At this point in time yes that is the main requirement. I can just barely get my leg over the seat of a CB300/CBR300 at this point. I can comfortably throw a leg over a new Rebel but those are out of price range at this point. Kind of a disappointment really when only a few years ago i could have thrown a leg over a Buell Ulysses without issue.

The Rebel 300 is 4900 bucks, probably 5700 OTD at most dealers. I've seen used 500's with very little miles on them for 4-5k lately as well, or is that too high at the moment?

Factor in Canadian prices vs US prices and the rebel 300 starts at $7156 new. Haven't looked into used prices here yet.

Ahh, yes, I forgot about Canada and their import taxes and other fees. I'm surprised anybody rides in Canada with how expensive it is. I know insurance is outrageous too.

Honestly its the main thing keeping me from ordering a CSC bike
