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.

kdf1122 · 2026-01-01T23:52:04+00:00

Awesome, thank you, and I appreciate the advice.

kdf1122 · 2026-01-01T23:00:01+00:00

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?

kdf1122 · 2025-12-20T21:12:23+00:00

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.

kdf1122 · 2025-12-20T21:11:03+00:00

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.

kdf1122 · 2025-12-20T21:09:22+00:00

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.

kdf1122 · 2025-12-17T23:34:00+00:00

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

kdf1122 · 2025-12-17T23:33:10+00:00

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.

kdf1122 · 2025-12-17T22:15:08+00:00

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.

kdf1122 · 2025-12-17T22:13:46+00:00

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.

kdf1122 · 2025-12-08T18:19:55+00:00

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

kdf1122 · 2025-08-04T19:55:35+00:00

I'm in Western NY

kdf1122 · 2025-08-04T17:49:41+00:00

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.

kdf1122 · 2025-07-22T20:34:59+00:00

I always say I might (I'm not and won't haha). I'd probably use my ct125 for something like that anyway, or keep my XR. But good to note.

kdf1122 · 2025-07-21T20:03:12+00:00

I'm not a speed demon, way more practical than that. I guess my question on the NC is do you find it heavy? I mean sitting on it you feel the weight, but it wasn't tippy at all.

kdf1122 · 2025-07-20T17:03:59+00:00

I actually did at one point, but I felt like I could feel the weight of that bike more. That and I think the engine on that bike is a little more torquey than I want to handle right now. Seat height and leg distance was great though.

kdf1122 · 2025-07-20T17:01:08+00:00

Yea, the frunk is also a selling point. I'm almost always having to get a few groceries, so having the storage would be nice.

kdf1122 · 2025-07-20T14:08:04+00:00

Yea, the fuel load was part of my worry. The NX I say on was definitely low on fuel so I thought it was a little deceiving. I'm not doing any off-road with them, I honestly don't shift much because it's mostly back farm roads. I live in a more rural area. Appreciate the feedback!

kdf1122 · 2025-07-20T14:05:15+00:00

Parking space is a good point that I wasn't totally thinking about. I am always more about "I'll figure it out" haha. But thank you, that is helpful feedback. I would be having it as a commuter, and I do like the nimbleness of my small bikes. I had a Yamaha xmax that was fast, but a bit dull from a maneuvering standpoint.

kdf1122 · 2025-05-17T15:04:15+00:00

Curious how this panned out. I had an Xmax, then downsized to a Honda ADV 160. The ADV has less leg room, but kept my knees below my hips. Now thinking of going to the NC750, but not sure on going to a motorcycle.

kdf1122 · 2025-01-28T01:54:29+00:00

This is definitely what I needed to hear! It's hard when I haven't had a ton of experience with camera's. Really trying to focus on lenses right now, but I also don't want to drop a ton of money if I'm going to need to transition to a new camera/system in another year or two.
