I personally visit:
www.sportbikes.net
http://www.beginnerbikers.org/
http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/

 

[oicdn]

http://www.sportbikes.ws
http://www.mvagusta.net

More of the latter, but obviously, it catered to on MV's, so it may not be as exciting cause the traffic isn't as big as the 1st link.

I used to goto http://www.r6messagenet.com, because the watercooler is definitly the best on the web, but all the OG's that made that place fun, and that I actually met in person, aren't there any more and it's a bunch of douchebags.

I'm planning on getting a ex500 myself (or perhaps a 250). Gotta find a summer job first...

Oh yeah, if you want a good place to buy gear online (and you better buy some), check out www.newenough.com .

newenough.com is a really good site, but is there any sites located in canada/canadian prices?

if you end up with an sv instead, svrider.com is a great site with a lot of friendly people.

+1

I've had the best experiences with localized forums. Motorcycle forum people are generally ego trippin' like there is no tomorrow. Localized forums generally weed those kids out.

My personal favorite is www.hypercycles.org or www.sportbikeswest.com

I'd have to say SV people on the whole are probably some of the nicest motorcyclists I've ever met.
