an older guy on Adventure Rider, I think, has mega miles (over 100K) on his DR650 and like you, hasn't had any trouble with it. Great bikes but (isn't there always a but) they are waaay too tall for...

"ABS model is $5,700 USD. Add sales tax and all the dealer BS fees and I was quoted an OTD price of $7,500 USD."
This is a not quite fair comparison as the RX3 is $4195, plus...

I had a brief ride on an RX3 and thought it too much like my NX250 ( only 30 years younger) in that I found the constant high revs very tiring. Noise and vibration are the enemies of long distance...

Timing and price will decide its success. If Kawasaki bring in a Versys 400cc, later this year, at the 300cc price, as they did with the 400cc Ninja, CSC will be between a rock and a hard place. If...

Same here; I have been looking for a Vincent Black Shadow for $2K, that's what they were going for when I bought my new 1974 CB400F. You would think they would be dirt cheap by now, not the $985,000...

I suspect we will see the Versys400X before we see the RX4, more's the pity. My hope was that the RX4 was imminent, but that seems unlikely. I agree about low down torque being better for "Plonking"...

I had been avoiding Chinese bikes because of their awful reputation but after some lousy experiences with Japanese and European bikes I thought I had little to lose buying a 2015 Hawk for $700.

I read somewhere that Kawasaki had ceased production of the 250/300cc engine, so it would seem inevitable that the new 400cc unit will find its way into the Versys300X chassis. A critical point being...

Alloy rims have a weight advantage over their steel counterparts but deform easier. To some, the reduction in unsprung weight is worth the cost and over rides the strength factor. Steel rims, being...
