I was riding a motorcycle last time in 1982 – without a driver’s license – but it was a lot of fun anyway. On the way we (a friend and I) were at that time with the Honda MTX (lightweight wheel).The fun came to an end when a forester with a Yamaha 500 Enduro chased us through the forest, which we had illegally crossed. 2010 – since now 28 years law-abiding citizens – I think about dealing with the topic motorcycle again – this time legal.I still have no (motorcycle) foot That’s why I asked my questions here. I’m sure everyone has been asked – I’m still looking forward to your understanding. How much time and money do I have to invest for a driver’s license? 15 hours and 1200 EUR? What should I do for motorcycle clothing + helmet? Is it possible to drive somewhere away from paved roads at all? Is there still such a PS limit (Have since 25 J. Auto-FS) at the beginning? Which motorcycle should I take? Out of pleasant memories I find this Honda MTX a very good enduro – and came across the BMW 650 GS. To my astonishment the part “Only” costs 7999 EUR new. If there were Japanese alternatives – where you say: Almost as good – costs only 5000? Is the value loss on motorcycles really so low? I wanted to see what I get for 4000 EUR – the parts were sometimes 10 years old – then I can also take a new machine. How much discount are realistic? And now still the stupidest fr of all: Is motorcycling really so dangerous? Sure – no knautschzone etc. But I didn’t drive in anyone in 25 years and no one has driven in to me. What do you mean?
