Default Re: Motorcycle Riders

A lot probably depends on how much you want to pay and what you want to do with it outside of your commute. The CBX500 would be ideal for the commute but for a 400km ride on the weekend you'd be wishing you'd bought something else real fast. I haven't ridden many trail bikes on bitumen but they all felt uncomfortable to me. Maybe ok with road tyre's instead of knobby's. The Husky's look good but I see the seat height is 835mm. That seems pretty tall for a bike. If your only short you will be standing on tip toes. I think I'd be tempted to stick with one of the Japanese bikes, reliable, comfortable and you can get them for a reasonable price.
