i am looking at new bikes to fill the void the falco left me...
after i get moved to NH, i want to pick something up... preferrably cheap.... i have been looking at
1 leftover '03 Honda 919
2 almost new, slightly used 03 sv650
3 Ken's KLR 650
4 an 02 MZ Skorpion.
i want something streetfighter-ish... affordable and more sensible than the falco was... but i still want something ridiculously fun to ride. i am not all into the bling thing this time, i want something more subtle that the cops and bling guys won't see coming.
Does anyone know anything about MZ's? i have never seen them in the states before, but this thing looks cool and has a yamaha 660cc thumper in it... i like unusual bikes like that.
Of course the honda would be a great choice cause it would probably run forever and hold its value ok, and its got a real nice motor bundled in there. but its the most pricey of the lot.
No one seems to be able to say a bad thing about an SV, its just tough to go to a 650 suzuki vtwin from the 1 liter aprilia vtwin its more of an image thing than a power thing, i mean really... taylor used to ride one of them?!?!?!
and Ken's KLR 650 looks like a lot of fun... and very economical.
what would you go with and why?
