Next Bike? Help me choose a 4th motorcycle

0 Upvotes

Hi, I've come into some cash and looking to buy a bike 10k or under. Open to anything. I currently have

2004 custom chopper with 117 motor

1983 harley davidson fxr shovelhead

2009 bmw r1200gs with 80k miles

Part of me says replace the bmw with like a 2017 but I love the bike and I just repaired the shaft drive. I'm open to anything even a duplicate of what I have. It's a sickness when you start stockpiling bikes!

Talk me out of a new NX500?

4 Upvotes

First real bike. Rode some dirt bikes as a young kid less than 20 times though. Was getting back into it with a 70’s 2t Yamaha 175 but I can’t get her running again. Want something to ride since I have something to wrench. Looking at the nx500 as kind of a buy once cry once do it all bike. Not a longtime rider so don’t see myself craving speed or power for a long time if ever, not a super adrenaline junkie type. Imagining some light weekend riding, mostly staying off highways, maybe a camping trip, some off roading at our family farm and commuting around 25 mins one way to work and back. Tell me why I’m wrong because I likely am.

Next Bike? A bike to learn maintenance

2 Upvotes

Hey all! I’ve been riding for about 7 months now on a Honda rebel 300, and it’s been awesome so far BUT I have learned I am far too tall for that bike and it’s started to feel more and more cramped ( 5’10” with a 32” inseam). Im also super limited on what roads I can take because of the lack of power.

One of the reasons I got into motorcycles is because I missed working with my hands, as I swapped career paths and thought this would be a good to work with my hands again. Now i’m looking for a new bike that fits my body better and that I can do most, if not all, of the maintenance on without it needing constant work.

I had landed on a Suzuki DR650, but now I’m realizing that I more or less latched onto that bike and didn’t really consider anything else. Are there any other bikes that could work for what I want?

New Rider Suggestions for a new rider looking for a daily bike that can also be fun on some twisties.

Hello I am a soon to be rider from Romania. I am 26M , 172cm and around 100kg

I am looking for a motorcycle that can do daily driving, touring and be fun on some twisties.

I am stuck between the Honda Hornet 750 and the Triumph Tiger Sport 660.

I welcome all recommend motorcycles. In the driving school I have been on a YBR250, a Rebel 500 and a Z650. And I can tell that I don't get along with the rebel but I like the feel of the YBR250 and Z650.

Advice on a first time rider looking to buy a naked motorcycle.

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone I've recently passed my msf course and gotten my M1 DL. I've spent some time researching good beginner naked bikes and I'd like to hear more opinions on 4 bikes I'm intrested in but cant decide which one is the right one to get.

I'm currently staying in SoCal and my budget would be about $7k. Im primarily looking for a model year 2020 and newer. I'll list them in order of displacement and some pros/cons i've read about. I'm primarily looking for a used variant but from shopping around the new bikes are almost all in the same price range as the used bike so I'm open to either.

  • Honda CB300R: This was the bike I originally had my sights set on primarily because i really liked the way it looked and I have a Honda Powersports dealer near my house. Its also on the cheaper side of bikes on this list so I think this was a good starting point. The cons I've read about and some advice I got from another rider is that I'll likely get bored of this bike sooner rather than later. I've also read it can struggle at highway speeds which could be a problem as I plan to use this as a commuter.

  • Husqvarna Svartpilen 401: I've seen some talk about this bike being a great beginner bike as well, i enjoy the unique aesthetic of this bike and the larger displacement. Some of the cons I've heard about are people running into electrical issue and random stalling as well. I've also heard that KTM is going through some troubles and that this may effect future support of the brand as well.

  • Triumph Speed/Scrambler 400 I really love the way these motorcycles look much like the CB300R they look amazing and arent too much more expensive than the previous two options I talked about. The biggest issue I have with it is from the build quality of the bikes themselves need lots of maintenance and stalling issues requiring a ECU update, and also mushy/bad feeling front brakes.

  • Suzuki SV650: This is a bike I see recommened here all the time as the best beginner naked bike, looks great wont get bored of it, great handling, reliability, aftermarket mods, the list goes on. The only real issue I have with the bike are the relatively high price for it (I've been looking to get this used if I decide to pull the trigger), and the current colorways available ( i dont like the red/blue wheels but there are black versions available so not really a big deal). The biggest issue I have with the bike is that it maybe 'too much' bike for a beginner to handle, I've read lots of people starting with this bike so it likely isnt too bad but I worry that I maybe getting more than i can handle and that it wont be as forgiving as the previous motorcycles I've mentioned.

All in all I'd like to get one of these four and I'd appreciate any advice or opinions on any of these bikes or even recommendations for other naked motorcycles I didnt list here either. Thanks in advanced!
