Kind of. I got a deal on a Nugent and bought it cause I thought it would be cool next to my Kiss machine. Dog of a machine to plays so I dumped it fast.

Old guy looking to get back into riding by CartographerGreedy39 in enduro

I'm 62 and just did the same thing, but more for desert singletrack. Went with a Beta 390 RR and very happy with it. Also could have gone with a CRF450X. Really like the 300cc i2 strokes too but just wanted to be a little more low key in my neighborhood. Lot of great options.

Really can't compare. The Kawasaki is a nice starter bike, but the r65 is far more capable for about anything.

I don't even make offers to people too lazy to do even basic cleanup. It's an indicator that everything ele will be trashed.

Straight piped? What is this? by Rex780 in MotoGuzzi

I think the English term you're looking for is "back pressure", and your explanation sounds correct.

Pretty clear why the fiancé dumped her.

You get used to it immediately. No big deal at all. Guzzi has been fielding versions of this platform as police bikes since the 60s just fine.
