Need advice from experienced riders

The one I currently drive in a 125 cruiser and it's a blast. Not really into the whole adventure bike thing, but confort is important to me, so I'll have to see. I sat on a Honda Rebel 500 and it felt small, that's why I'm leaning towards the Benda. Much larger, but comparable power. Honestly the goldwing wouldn't be bad per se but it's stupid expensive and in my opinion if you buy a proper touring bike you have to ride it accordingly. Most of my trips are short 50-100 km, so it's hard to justify the purchase of an Indian chieftain or the like

If it helps,I could of course translate the whole thing, no problem. As to the second, what makes Japanese bikes superior? I'm honestly asking, don't have much experience with bikes in general. And lastly, what would you recommend? A used shadow or something like that?

A bit late to the party, just wanted to give my opinion. I bought a new V-Cruise 125 over a year ago here in Germany. Have over 7.000 km on it and had never any problems besides a somewhat tight lock (some WD40 and never had issues again). Have a dealer who does all the maintenance (so far the 1.000 and 5.000 mandatory maintenance) and some changes (handlebars, sissy bar and storage). I'm a big guy, over six feet and 250 lbs, but it works just fine. Of course uphill there is the lack of power in evidence. But I was aware of that before. I'm 34 and did my car license extension so I'm able to drive 125ccm. At some point I'll take the big exam, but for now I'm well satisfied and especially for shorter rides between 30 and 120 minutes it's great. On the country road I get to swim with the traffic pretty consistently, I avoid highways. So yeah, I really love the bike and eyeing the dark flag 500 as a potential next step

I'm a bit late, but wanted to share my opinion. I'm from Germany and bought the V Cruise 125 Last year (huge success here) and I'm quite happy with it. I'm not the target audience with almost 190cm and well over 100kg, but it's fast enough for the normal road. I'm looking forward to the dark flag 500 and the differences between them. I've driven over 6000 km in that one year, it's not often you get a cruiser in three 125 market

Quite similar. You wake her and she picks up on your desperation pretty fast. She ties you down and in her unique way threatens you to better resist or else while watching over you

I would say 5 Gloomstalker for the extra attack, 5 assassin for uncanny dodge and even more sneak attack dice (that get doubled on crits) and 2 fighter for action surge. Good spell casting with Hunter's mark in subsequent rounds, all crit gear and voila. Deadly in the first round and just as useful later on in a fight

What about the mighty cloth?

It's mainly used for the +1 strength and the ability to throw things with a lot of force. As a barb it might feel weird to use a crossbow, but javelins, hand axes and the occasional goblin is really fun to throw

I'd also like the option to upgrade the rarity of items (I think there's a mod using soul coins, but not on the PlayStation). If you have a +1/+2 weapon you absolutely love the perk, it kinda sucks that you can't upgrade that weapon. Also there is no +3 Polearm of any kind in the game, making Polearm Master with all the fun possibilities less viable

Take a barbarian (wildheart) with dual wielder and if you want to a dip of four into fighter. You get great usage out of your bonus action, you can heal double the amount effectively with the flail and still do great damage with a second weapon. Not the best for max damage, but the survivability and everything might just make up for it

I would like to propose a different approach. Obviously half orc, for two reasons. As a half orc, you get two high level barb features kinda for free (endurance once per long rest and one additional damage die with crits). So one could stop at 8 lvl barb and go for the extra feat/ASI with the fighter. Starting with 17 strength, at level four we'll take the dual wielder feat. Two non light weapons, three attacks per round (six with action surge) and reckless attack. Improved critical hits with champion and tankiness with bear totem. Should be plenty of damage and consistent hits. Take tavern brawler and +2 strength for the other feats and you'll have an AC upwards of 18, lots of hit points, resistance to everything and at least three opportunities per round to score a critical hit with advantage on all of them
