Servus, on the other hand! Since I’ve been looking for the right machine, I’ve been landing here again and again, and now that I’m getting something, I’ve been hoping that you can help me. I’m grateful for every tip. To me: I’m 31 and I live in Vienna. Yes, I’m an Ösi. 😀 I’m 1.77m tall and (mostly) 79kg, so I’m quite average. I’m not a novice, but I only had a few years break and have been riding my mother’s motorcycle again for a few months now – ’97 BMW F 650 GS. A brave, Fe Thanks to the combination of changing jobs and switching from partial to full-time, I can now save the necessary change over the winter in order to buy my own machine in the spring. Used or if the perfect bike is also new with financing. But rather needed. I have relatively spongy ideas and am ready to compromise. I hope you can give me suggestions or inspirations with which I then search Brand: No matter. Everyday fitness: Must be given, will probably be driven 2-5 days a week and should last a few years. That means little error prone and acceptable spare parts market. City/country/motorway 50/40/10%. Motorization: Rather 2-cylinder, rather more than less cylinder capacity, rather low-touring. I rather look for a rich, deep sound. If you can help me with an end pot change that’s enough. kW/PS are nice, but don’t decide End. Weight: Better lighter, but not really important. Seat position: Straight, but ready to compromise slanting freedom: Should be good, I like to put myself far into the curve. Optics: Definitely naked, rather old-fashioned. I’m quite open from naked bike to cruiser to chopper, if otherwise fits. So that I take an enduro everything would have to fit really well. I like exotics, but exotics often have spare parts problems. Price: 3000 while nice, up to 5000 would be in if necessary, a Otherwise I would have to make a payment. On the following machines I have already sat and should serve as a reference, which I like. ’97 BMW F 650 GS – good sitting position, light, super slanting freedom. There it ends unfortunately also. ’75 Moto Guzzi California 850T – Pleasant sitting position, wonderful sound, relatively good slanting position. But Moto Kappuzzi? ’83 Moto Guzzi 1000 SP – Not quite as comfortable, but also good sound and good slanting position. Moto Kappuzzi? 2017 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Eldorado – Pleasant sitting position, slanting position catastrophic. No-Go. ’91 Yamaha FZX 750 – Quite pleasant sitting position, pulls well, slanting position well, but sound of a racing machine. Highly touring 4-cylinder halt. ’80 Yamaha XS650 – Pleasant sitting position, relatively small. Furthermore I have the following machines in mind: Yamaha BT1100 Bulldog – relatively short-lived model series. Spare parts? pre-2015 BMW F800R – Apparently good everyday wheel, headlights need getting used to, fairly high-touring . Sound? BMW R1100R or R1150R – Suitable for everyday use? Sound? >900ccm Virago, Dragstar, Intruder, Shadow – Suitable for everyday use? Angular? Moto Guzzi California 1100 EV – Suitable for everyday use? Kappuzzi? I’m open to all suggestions, especially for models that I haven’t considered yet. If you have any experience of the machines I mentioned, that’s also very welcome to me. LG, spidercoffein
