[QUOTE="Ready_fire_aim, post: 4088703, member: 50626"] If you’re wanting to actually commute, the dual-sports will get old fast. If you’re wanting to actually hit trails, any streetbike will suck. For that matter if you’re really wanting to off-road most dual sports will suck compared to real dirtbikes… If you love power/speed, cruisers will feel lame. Etc.. it’s like boats, no one-size fits all. You must know what experience you’re after and buy accordingly. On that note, it’s perfectly normal to buy a certain bike, then sell it a year or two later and try something else. Eventually you’ll find a bike that fits your style and needs. If you’re still young and you like power, I’d say get a sportbike. They’re not actually as uncomfortable as these old farts make them out to be… my ‘07 zx10r was plenty comfortable to me at age 26… did lots of 4hr+ rides. 100mph wheelies really get the adrenaline pumping lol.. it’s like a superpower, it’s like flying! Forget saving money or being practical.. bikes are toys… especially in Oklahoma. Riding is an amazing feeling! Commuting on a bike is certainly possible, but it’s not practical or safe in all reality I was on dirtbikes since age 11 and did sportbikes/dualsports/supermotos/cruisers/ATVs from ages 16-30. I’m 35 now… kinda been thinking about another bike lol, purely as a toy. Possibly a crossplaned crank 2010+ Yamaha R1 Newer sportbikes are full of electronic nanny features. Find a low miles well kept bike in the 2000-2014ish range if ya want a raw sportbike. I got off bikes because of too many speeding tickets and near death experiences lmao. Off-road stuff is much safer really… if ya just wanna fly. Best of luck [/QUOTE]
