Most bikers have more than one bike and since the mid seventies like most of us I've had to many to list and up to 2012 I had 3 bikes at the same time.. 2008 zzr1400/2010 gtr1400 and the 2012 versys 650. but as I never learned the art of riding more than one bike at the same time I decided to reduce myself to one bike.. well that's not true really.. I use to ask the wife why she as so many shoes and hand bags when you can only wear one at time and she would reply the same reason why you have 3 bikes and only can ride one at a time.. fair comment DOH!
possible thinking of a good all-around commuter to keep the miles and consumable's costs down on my H2 SX SE but still have I've good handling and economical bike to use and if I remember correctly the Versys 650 was excellent at both so when this bloody corona virus is over I will be on the look out for a 2nd generation either pre-reg/ex demo or a few year's old low miles Versys 650 preferable the tourer model with panniers and spot lights.
also noticed that Kawasaki are now offering the versys 650 with 0% finance over 3 or 4 years years and some dealers are offering the extended 2 years Kawasaki warranty with the deal.. so unless I can get a bargain on a nearly new low miles used versys 650 or ex demo/pre reg may consider a new model.
if you were thinking of a good reliable commuter what would you choose?
Same I like the versys 650 too.
950 S...or Tiger 900..... :yes:
I'd use something like a CBF600 for a scratcher. You can get a decent older one for next to nowt.
I would go back to my old green Honda CB800 ... great commuter and pretty swift .. there are still a few about ... :yes:
Possibly a Yamaha WR450. I've always liked them and the added bonus is you could do some green laning on it which I've always fancied having a go at.
I used to have one of them, it was great fun, I fell off it and was lucky not to hurt myself
I'll post you a picture when Iget back on my lappy.
Used Triumph Tiger 1050. Earlyish one with low miles can be bought cheaply.
Steve, mine might have been a 250, ......TBH I can't remember . :embarrassed: ....... Have tried to post one of the pics I have of the bike but the file is too big for the forum
