Posted: 15:07 - 30 Dec 2017 Post subject: Adventure or Heritage? |
|
|
Hello All, i'm new here, so please don't be mean!
First, a bit of background. I'm 34y old, 1,85cm and have 95kg. The last bike I had was an old beatn'up XT600 8 years ago. I only have a quad now (raptor 700). I have a portuguese license for any bike.
I'm on the market for a new bike, and I don't really have a budget. I'm not really sure what is the best bike for me.
I always thought that a bmw F800GS or 1200GS or a KTM adventure would be the right bike for me, since I don't want a race bike and I'm a big guy.
That being said, my eye always lingers towards the modern heritage bikes, and I've beeing reading about bikes like the RnineT and the new Ducati Scrambler 1100, and the triumphs and guzzis out there.
Since I thing my riding will be 95-100% on roads and I dont really plan to make really big trips by bike. What kind of bike you think suits me the best? Sometimes I'll be taking my wife with me, she is 1,60m and 60kgs.
Any thougts? Or I should really just test drive and see for myself? What is more confortable for 30-50kms rides?
thanks, and sorry for my english. |
