I need an advice coming from experience
Hello everyone,
I'm a long time lurker and first time poster in here. I'm willing to pass my driving licence this month of July and I am still hesitating between bikes. My jam is a polyvalent bike that runs in urban areas- because of commuting (40km/day)- and travelling - cumulated distance on paved road, deteriorated roads, off-road (between 2062.7 to 9 265,2km/yea, for 1 or 2 months/year)- but never use the highway. So, since I am a beginner(my first moto was a 49 cc scooter, 2 years), I thought to upgrade,and go for something that surpass the limits of the city. My first first picks are at the poll. I looked everywhere and found they are all the same, and in a price that is somehow acceptable for me, but the thing is I'm somehow not sure about how they can be reliable at extremely low levels of maintenance ( I am willing to maintain it ofc, but at a reasonable charge). That's why I'm asking you from help to gather some informations, mostly the bikes and models,mileage, gas consumption, maintainance and repairs and general appreciation. If there's another choice, please don't hesitate. Thank you in advance. P.S: any recommendations about protecting gears are welcomed.
