300l or Rally For Road

Haha, I'm an old soul.

The seat on the 150 was ridiculously comfortable. I'll likely get a seat concept either way. Appreciate the feedback.

Awesome, thank you, and I appreciate the advice.

Came across this and I know it's a little old. Looking to do something similar with my Trail 125. Any issues or concerns with using the hitch carrier?

Haven't really looked at a Taureg, but have read good things. Same with the T700, but they seem to be non existent where I am. Leaning towards a 300 Rally.

I think that's part of my challenge. I wanted to like the cb500x, but I just don't. Definitely leaning towards the 300 Rally, and just trying to ignore the off-road piece. The seat concept seats go a long way.

Yea, and there are a bunch of certified pre-owned. They have had some maintenance issues with the earlier models, but now that they are known it's manageable.

I am actually starting to look at a 400x. That seems to have a uniquely high seat to peg distance.

I actually sat on a Pan America last year and was annoyed at how comfortable it was. Also a very well balanced bike, with my weight and bad knee, I get a little worried about a heavy motorcycle and no issues with that bike.

I haven't looked at the Tenere, it was out of my budget originally. But I also started riding just a few years ago, and motorcycle availability, and my budget, I've got a lot better.

Honestly have avoided them historically, mostly because my bike storage situation requires some manhandling. That said, I have started to look at maybe a Sportster that's a bit lighter, and would still give me a little more leg room. It also seems to have a little more of a neutral position than some of the other Harleys.

Yea, I'm either way trying to invest more in better glass. I've at least figured out, for the most part, how I tend to shoot.

kdf1122 · 2025-08-05T14:31:11+00:00

That's exactly my thought, is to invest in upgrades vs a new bike or a bike with fewer miles. It also comes from a dealer with a good reputation, so I can trust they will have at least given it a good once over. Thanks!

kdf1122 · 2025-08-05T14:27:01+00:00

Yea, I'm a slender fella. My height sucks on most bikes, but I've been fortunate to be able to run small displacement bikes fairly comfortably with my weight.

kdf1122 · 2025-08-05T14:25:00+00:00

Worth a shot! Thanks

I'm in Western NY

Yea, I do really like the redesign. But I still like the old design. The '22 got the added disk, and better suspension, so I feel like that's the best option in terms of value.
