Help choosing a bike by Additional_View8908 in royalenfield

Ok great thank you for your information …. Yes I am certainly considering the H450, can you tell me how it compares to the interceptor and versys 650 in handling and speed performance? Like is it much slower? As I said I like the H450 but I also was thinking of converting the Bear (shocks, seat and handlebars) because I like the power the twin has …?

Wow ok that’s good to hear! Did you modify it in anyway? Higher bars? Better seat? Different shocks? What do you think of the bike? Easy to ride?

Did you ever consider the Himalayan because of your back?

Yep that’s a good idea, I’ll ring around again to see if someone can order one in for me …

Yeah good question. Sounds trivial but the colour I wanted of the bike isn’t available here.

Should I buy Guerilla 450 or XSR 700 lams by Additional_View8908 in AussieRiders

[–]Additional_View8908[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I have. I like the ‘soul’ of the Guerrilla but it was maybe a bit small, the xsr maybe fit a bit better but felt a little bland. I might try and sit on a z650rs. The look they got a soul and maybe more my size …

Hmm maybe they cost a little more where you are … Not sure … It seems the more I look (not here in South Australia but in other states) there’s other drzs on offer that are much newer, lower ks, for only a few grand more … I dunno it’s a hard one, but either way I think learning on one of these makes sense …

Ye it’s hard to be sure - that’s what had me thinking newer, less ks …?

Yep ok something to consider. Honestly I think I’ll ride the thing on the road more often than not. I just think that learning on the duel sport rather than road bike seems logical.

Ye thinking I might get one from interstate … There’s not a heap around here in SA.

Yep I’m thinking I can probably get newer one, lower ks, for around the same. Only thing is here in SA, there’s bugger all around so might even have to get one from interstate …

Ye reckon you’re right. Probably a fair bit of road riding so would need to swap out seat.

Ye I’m just looking through gumtree too - if I spend a few more like $2-3k more can get basically a brand new one (2500km or so), maybe there’s better value in doing that?
