After trying my hardest not to get another motorcycle, I have finally decided to just stop fighting the urge. I suppose it gets entangled in your DNA .
I have limited myself to NT200,000 for a first red plate, back home I would just pick up an 2014/15 Iron 883 and still have change for a full service and engine check.
Due to the prices here that would probably be twice my budget, so I’m thinking about one of the following and would like a bit of feedback.
Harlay Davison XG750
Yamaha XV/S (bolt)
had a few Xv’s and they where very reliable
Kawasaki VN
Honda VT
Suzuki S40
I friend of mine had one as a daily rider, he always said it was unbreakable, but don’t have that thump thump of the V-Twin
I sort of like the styling of the Honda rebel 500, but it’s a yellow plate which give you the inconvenience of parking a heavy bike and the more limited road use.
Another yellow plate I see is the Honda CB350 can pick up new for 170,000, this was always a work horse and easy to maintain, but again it’s a yellow plate.
Let me know your thoughts
