The title is rather self explanatory. I’m relocating offices come February and a parking spot for my truck will be as rare as hens teeth. So what better than getting relatively cheap (Sub $3000 budget) bike.
I’ll be commuting 20 miles from my house to the office with a route having parallel highway and backroad options.
I’ve narrowed it down to two options for now. A grom/z125 or a dual sport similar to a DR350 or xr. I want something that is light and fun for around town. Supermoto and full sports are not an option after getting myself in too much trouble on both in my past.
Does anyone have any input on commute on a grom or dual sport? I used to commute on a DRZ400SM but unsure how the dirt chassis would handle at higher speeds. Has anyone taken the grom on the highway? Just an exit or two max as they are rather maxed out over 60 I feel.
Is there anything to look out for when buying either one? Is there any other bike that would fit the criteria I’m missing? All advice is greatly appreciated
