Sup!
The time has arrived where I want to buy a bike. I have a car. I would also want to get wet riding gear if it rains cause of kak traffic.
Budget: R100-150 k
Commute: 15KM via 60-120Km/h zones.
Me: 90Kg and 1.9m
Previous bikes: Honda CRF230F, Kawasaki 400cc cruiser thing was an import, scooters.
Style: Riding ergonomics is important so I guess dual purpose something upright?
I did drive the Honda NC750X and it is amazing. The only drawback is it is slightly underpowered in the top gears. I did 160Km/h on it but it redlines at 7000RPM so there is a lot of changing required. New it is R91k.
There is an automatic DCT version which sounds great but I am not sure what other bikes I should look at.
1. Is KTM overpriced?
2. Is Aprilia or Ducati overpriced? They seem to be rare is there a reason? How do they compare?
3. BMW seems expensive compared to the NC750X.
I am a but confused now I suppose I should test drive everything. :| I would like to but time is also an issue.
