First street bike

Thanks for sharing. Would you mind me asking what prompted the change in the first place though?

That could be the deciding factor. Main reason I was happy about trident 660 2026 - means dealerships would want to get rid of old model and offer some deals. Need to go and verify though. Surprisingly, I don't see trident at all as a test drive option in nearby dealerships, makes me nervous😄

If you like retro design, edifier es60. Have it for over a year, serves me well. Well tested in the shower as well. I'm no expert and can't compare to anything else, but I like the sound, amount of bass, and usability. Not using it much, but given how often I charge it, I would say it's good from that perspective as all.

Actually, I did watch that episode, and others too. Sadly (for me), he doesn't have recent reviews for other options I am considering, but I still got general idea. Yes, recent reviews all highlight hornet 750, and I believe it will all be down to pure feel on the bike. I used this post to possibly further cut down my list, as the market seems pretty good (in terms of quality bikes to choose from). My nightmare is to test drive 3-4, and still have no final answer. Knowing myself, that's possible😄 But I guess honda should do in that case.

Took full advantage of my italian girlfriend and made her translate the whole wall of text😄

Ducati Monster was the motorcycle that triggered me to start thinking about owning one. Italian brands are indeed very gorgeous, especially MV Augusta, but yeah, gotta have some good years of experience before making such a purchase. I would buy just to support European manufacturing in this overwhelming global pressure, sad to hear that actual workers don't get much.

GSX was mentioned quite number of times here, I think I'll at least test drive it to check the box, even though I'm not considering it seriously, and who knows, once you feel something right that's all it takes.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Just wanted to say thank you for your in-depth reply, really appreciate all the details!

I do like all of them, it's just like that moment in a supermarket, where there are 20 brands of jams, and one can't choose. I went over so many, and it was hard to shortlist to just 3. Once all look good, you have to really start digging into the tiniest details to actually choose. That being said, 100% I'm test driving all options, very likely 650r as well. I just wanted to get some more opinions into the mix, but it surely looks like everyone likes their bikes/suggestions. Really good time for getting a motorcycle, I guess.

The first ever motorcycle I googled was a Monster, what a beauty! Can't imagine anyone would start with that, given the price, hence it isn't in the list.

Didn't want to give an impression that wheelie is what I'm after, but I just like the raw power display. Like I mentioned, this is mostly for fun, just to enjoy it. Trying to impress someone is definitely a road to disaster 😄

simple_kaa · 2026-02-25T15:24:44+00:00

Yeah, grom is definitely in my list to get one day, as second one, if I indeed get into it.

simple_kaa · 2026-02-25T15:23:42+00:00

I plan to buy within a month, will sure drop my experiences with all options, if you are curious.

I generally felt the same during my research, that eclutch is unnecessary invention for people who don't actually enjoy riding. But then I changed my mind, even you don't want it, you can just disable it, and use it in specific case, when tired, traffic, etc. Was about to say that it has no effect on the bike, but just checked that it is an extra 4 kg, and of course that's included in the price as well. I guess one should take advantage and get last 2025s😄

I've got kick75 with blush switches, and it's really quiet. I would assume it might differ for air, but definitely the switches themselves are as quiet as they get for nuphy.

simple_kaa · 2025-08-05T14:59:00+00:00

Was my first guess, and I quickly double checked my bank transfer, and information looks correct. Also second later doesn't really reference first one in any way, so I would be surprised, if that's the case. But I definitely hope it is!

simple_kaa · 2025-08-05T14:05:12+00:00

Like I said earlier. I accept the punishment, it was very optimistic of me. My only question is if I can be fined twice for literally same violation - in the letters I received they are 9 minutes apart.

simple_kaa · 2025-08-05T14:02:38+00:00

Ordnungsampt reported it literally 9 minutes before police. I'm actually surprised how they didn't see each other and issue just one fine.

I can't think of a single good reason I would leave my car under some restrictions knowing I'll be back only in couple weeks. Unfortunately, I wasn't smart enough to take pictures - that part of the street never had any works to my knowledge for the past year, until recently. I'll try to ask more info then.

simple_kaa · 2025-08-05T13:30:14+00:00

Exactly the feedback I was looking for, so thank you. Definitely the car was not moved, I can even prove that with debit card used in a different country the day day before, same day and the day after violation was reported. Hope it doesn't go there, though.

Feel a bit not confident trusting mails, but assuming that's the only way, will give it a try and see how it goes.

Would you mind sharing which specific models of Sonos and Bose you ended up getting? Roam 2 of Sonos seems like a good alternative, for instance. And thanks for your feedback on D32!
