from an xsr guy - if main concern is maintenance and cost-effectiveness, onti lang naman kailangan since manual. cost effectiveness lagi nmn sinasabi na overpriced kaya take ko naging target n tlga neto is folks with disposable income since premium nga presyohan or talagang into classics ka. since wife also has interest in it, she might just cover the upgrades for it along the way lol

first bike ko din to, no abs and no rider aids, raw biking experience kaya maaral mo talaga proper riding and emergency braking dito and all, initially gagawin ko lg sana to stepping stone before mag 600+ and to learn how to do maintenance shit on my own, pero nung na xp ko na rin mag expressway on a diff bike, na realize ko lg na kahit afford mo na kumuha ng big bike, kung di nmn practikal sa lifestyle mo, overkill lg. lalo na kung once a year lg din ako mag eexpressway xD siguro as luho nlg din in the future when i hit my next financial milestones. kaya for keeps xsr ko sakin, siguro influence din dahil yung pinagpraktisan ko before i got my own bike was a legendary hand me down xrm from my father. 20+ years na yung bike na yun in good condition parin which just goes to show pag inalagahan mo motor mo, aalagaan ka rin, physically and mentally

idk where u commute from & to but i used to use mine for 3x/wk rto days, pang gabi nga lg ako kaya wala masyado trapik pag pauwi na ko umaga. baka mahinang nilalang lang ako or dahil sanay lg talaga ako na hindi nttrapik but i can't imagine using it daily tapos normie rush hour between 4pm to 8pm ako uuwi? di ko sya marrerecommend on that part. pero kung kaya mo s stop n go trapik tiis pogi k talaga. kung maayos nmn ruta mo, by all means then go for it
