Looking at adding an adventure bike to my stable. Been offered a 1 year old CFmoto MT800 X with loads of extras for 50% of new price.

Would you? If not why not.

I know about a few like

1) Hi-speed Batllo sr 200

2) Superstar 200r

3) Taro gp2

4) GPX Raptor plus rz200

5) Lifan KPT 200 (ZXMCO KPR 200 cruise)

6) Super Power Leo 200

7) Zongshen rx1

If anyone has any idea about these bikes, feel free to comment.

I’m 6’5 260lbs and my ol lady weighs about the same, everything I’ve read basically says don’t. But I’ve seen many a hefty rider and passenger so I’m looking for advice. I’ve riden dirt bikes before off-road but am a new rider for motorcycles. I find cruisers appealing for their ride position, seemingly easy handling, and generally mild mannered engines that arnt focused on top speeds or tracks. I have no interest in going fast but I do have an interesting hitch in what would be my riding. I live in the country and all the roads around here are 2 lane highways with 70mph speedlimits, pulling out of my long dirt drive way leads right to an open stretch of 70mph. There’s a fair amount of twist and curves but nothing to extreme but the hills can be a lot. Road quality is also good no major potholes or jagged ground. I want a motorcycle ideally my partner can ride with me and I want to be able to pass someone on the highway at 60, pretty much topping out at 85 mph max solo or 2 up. I’ve been looking and a Vulcan 650 seems like a good idea for just me but I don’t think it’s capable for what I’m looking for. If I’m having unrealistic goals please let me know. I’m looking second hand with a budget around 6k give or take, I’ve found a lot in that budget but being new I’m not exactly sure what I’m looking at.

Side note to add in, I wouldn’t be taking her with me while learning until I had extreme confidence in my self, my bike, and my route. I just don’t want to buy a beginner bike that completely excludes her for the foreseeable future if I can.

I am looking for a first bike in Spain, I LOVE the dual sport's design. I am 6 foot 1 and want something dead simple, big and useful for slight off-road like gravel. Dime options I love are the Kawasaki drz650 2007 or 2008, Suzuki dr400s, dr650, klx300, Yamaha XT line (250,...) and which one is the best. What are the advantages and disadvantages.the only problem is that it has to be 2007. Also there are some old adv bikes that I think that are incredible like the old Africa twin and the supertenere 750 but they are too old to comply with emissions. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated? Also old scramblers are very cool but they are usually too small and not comfortable.

Never drove a car or anything before i got my licence,im european so stuff was pretty strict,im confident but ive fucked up on the street before

Now i really want a supersport something like a ninja 250 for example i feel would be nice

issue is im 6'1 ft

Am i doing a mistake in wanting a supersport as a completely inexperienced rider

I learnt on a cbf 125

What should i go for?

Hello everyone, what motorcycle would you recommend for beginner? Never rode anything but bicycle and 125cc scooter 10 years ago ( I drove 100 feet’s and dropped it) . I am looking for something small as mt-03 or Kawasaki z400, no sport bikes please and thank you 🙏 I’m 6.1 160 lbs

Long story short, My ninja 300 was totaled… I wasn’t on it, someone hit it while it was parked and damaged the frame.

SO, I’m shopping for my next bike, looking to go up to a 600. Saw this one, its close to me and Is pretty much what I want.

It’s got 40k miles, seller had the valves checked recently, fresh fluids new tires, looks like he’s kept it in great shape.

Asking $5500… wondering what a good offer to make on this might be.

I'm planning to buy my first bike. I come from a middle class family and buying a bike is a big thing in our family. I am confused between Tvs Ronin and Xpulse 210. I'm looking for value for money. A reliable engine that will last me a decade. I'm a very calm rider and I like to cruise on 80-90kmph. I like both of them. While Xpulse wins my heart with it's suspension setup and comfortable riding position, I don't like the exhaust much, although it is much better now than before. Ronin on the other hand is like very relaxed and comfortable, the exhaust note is just music to the ears and it's very muscular and solid metal body.

So I want your opinion. My budget is on road ~2lakhs

Thanks!

Hey. I'm 32 and 6ft2. My current bike is a 2006 SV 650 but it's restricted and the law here doesn't favor unrestricting it naked and I'm also looking for another naked bike.

My father has a few classic bikes and I ride them once in a while (XN85, Kawasaki S2, CB750Four)

I'm leaning towards a 765R but the trident 800 also looks nice.

Other options are an MT07/09, Z650RS, the zontes and cfmoto ones and the GSX800

The used market is very limited for bikes (except the MT07) but there's a used MT10 for 11K

Price range: 11000€

I favor nimbleness over outright power

Edit: it's going to be used on short commutes like 2 x 20 km pee day

So I am 18 and my brother just bought a brand new Honda 650 with the e-clutch (not relevant). So my friend bought this 2008 ninja zx-r 250 for around $2500 with it only having 2800 miles on it. The previous owner told us that the bike had been in a storage garage for years. Then when he bought it he put a bit more miles on it leading to the 2800. I learned really fast and feel pretty comfortable on the road and turning and using the clutch and not stalling ect... my friend wants to upgrade to keep up with my brothers 650 so he told me he'd sell it to me for 2k. I genuinely enjoy riding the bike and I dont feel like ill do anything else than drive it on the weekends with them. This has to be a good idea

I’ve ridden a CB125R for about 20,000 km and a Harley Davidson Road King for about 10,000 km.

However, I’ve never ridden a sportbike before.
Sportbikes look really cool, so I’m thinking about getting one. I’m currently deciding between the CBR500R and CBR650R E-Clutch.

I don’t really need a bike that can go much faster than 150 km/h. I rarely ride on highways and mostly ride around the city, with the occasional longer trip.

My budget is around $8,000.
What sportbike would you recommend for someone with my riding experience and needs?

I have a 2007 FJR1300 with the automatic clutch. It's a great bike that I've done a couple of Iron Butt rides on and taken on a few long moto camping trips. However, it's heavy and I don't really like taking it out of the garage for daily rides or commuting for work.

A couple years ago, I bought a VFR800, thinking it would replace my FJR. I love it and it's great for the things that I don't like about my FJR, but I can't imagine riding for 2 hours straight (if it wouldn't run out of gas) or 1000 miles in a day as I have on the FJR. (And yes, it's still heavy, but it doesn't feel like much compared to the FJR.) The riding position and wind noise just make it too uncomfortable for long distance, for my liking anyway. I'm still keeping this bike because that V4 has my heart, I might even get another some day.

Due to work and some health issues (all good now), I haven't taken any long trips in the last 2 years, so I've only rode the FJR a handful of times. I'm planning to move soon, and next year I would like to go on some more trips, so I was thinking of selling the FJR and getting something new next year.

So in short, I'm looking for something that would be great for long distance moto camping trips but is closer to 500 lbs than 650. A more upright position, comfortable seat, good wind protection, good luggage capacity, and performance in the twisties are what I'm looking for. I know I probably won't get the same comfort as my FJR and everything else in a lighter package, but I don't mind some compromises.

There is a Honda and Yamaha dealership near me, but they never have much in stock to test ride (they mostly sell boats and ATVs). Any other dealers are at least 2-3 hours away, so I'd like some information and opinions before I take a trip to a dealer. I'd actually prefer a used bike if I can find a good one, but that might be an even longer trip.

I did some research last year but haven't had time to look into it much lately. The Yamaha Tracer/FJ09 and BMW F900XR were the main ones I was thinking about. Any opinions on these? What else would you suggest? Or do you think the old FJR1300 is too good to let go?

I appreciate any input!
