Buying help
Hi all,
I've been riding my KTM Duke 300 for about a year and a half now. I got a good deal and learned how to ride on it, going from walking it to the curb of my driveway and easing the first tire off to now driving up the curb at semi reckless speeds. Long story short my 390 has done what I needed, leaning from 0.
I realize I'm still a newer rider and want to take more classes, take more time learning anything from fundamentals to more advanced techniques. My 390 maxes at about 84mph and vibrates a lot at that speed. I'm bigger ~215lbs 6'1/2 with boots, and in Colorado so power loss is real.
I want to stay on a naked since they are neutral, I still don't know if I want to go sport/tracking or touring/cruiser path yet. What I do know is I'm ready for the next step up and I've narrowed it to the Honda Hornet Cb750 or Suzuki GSX S750.
I've sat on and like both, and have demo'd the Hornet which I was set on buying until sitting on the GsxS and looking it up. I'm doing a demo day in about 70 days.
Insurance is similar on both $20< and I can pay cash up front. I'm wondering if anyone who has ownership experience how each is to work on (oil change easy vs dropping exhaust), aftermarket options, and long term satisfaction or dissatisfaction.
I'll be looking to get one soon, may even ask to test ride the Suzuki with cash in hand. Much appreciated! 🤙
*Edit unsure how to add more than I pic(cb750) 😆 yes I know I'm not tech savvy.
