Hello All,
I currently am looking for a lightweight (under 400lbs) bike as a second motorcycle, for backroads and something easy to throw on the hitch carrier and take along on trips. I have ridden street bikes for the past 20 years, started off on cruisers, had a victory hammer, and a goldwing. I now ride a 2018 Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT, and really enjoy it. I really like the look and upright seating position of naked bikes. I was initially looking at at KTM 390 duke (can get a great deal from local dealer), i do like the Honda cb300r as well, but since I haven't been able to test ride what are your thoughts and experiences with them or any others.
Thank you for any help or comments.
