Heya, I have to open one of the unspeakable “I need a bike tip” threads now. Sorry in advance I know there are a lot of threads, but usually for beginners who are looking for a strong/fast machine for heating. The background is this: My wife drives a Kawasaki W800 and loves the bike hot and intimate. It is always registered for the season from March to October and is standing outside (cover, no garage). It definitely doesn’t want to replace it, because it’s just her dream bike. Accordingly, her dedication to cleaning, polishing, etc. is also strongly pronounced, when it has unexpectedly rained overnight or we had rain rides. It breaks her heart when she passes by the bike and it looks dirty/dry. She also drove the machine from time to time on the 20 km work path, but does not want that anymore – for everyday rides the W800 is too bad for her, si e she prefers to ride on the common tours. So now she is looking for an additional motorcycle, which she wants to register all year round. Primary it should drive the work path daily and possibly replace the W800, if we have to start with a view of rain or if she has to take more luggage with her. So it should be a motorcycle, which does not do too much work while cleaning or does not hurt her, if it does not shine – quasi a work animal. Therefore I thought that maybe a motorcycle with K ardan would be chic in order to also eliminate the chain care. (“gerne” = would be nice, but doesn’t have to) I just looked at mobile.de with the ideas (largest filter was about Kardan and price) and there are the following models, which could somehow still agree to it in the farthest possible way. But everything is rather the naked than the semi-clad versions. I have not yet looked at everything for the seat height or in the ergonomic simulator and it is also partly d – Is there something you would say: Yes, that is reliable and low maintenance and corresponds to the requirements? – Most of them are machines from the 80s, but there are many well maintained offers, where all possible maintenance work/repairs are listed. However, they usually have 40t to 90t km. Is this still worth considering or are there very expensive repairs for certain models, which are known to be necessary – Is the idea with Kardan possibly nonsense, because Kardan directly increases the weight and a chain to grease is not a real problem? – Do you have other suggestions and why? Thank you for reading up here 🙂

I have just read an Arikel about different seat “Stands”. It was about products like the Airhawk, pearl mats and gel cushions. Who has such a edition and what is your opinion about it. I was happy to sit a bit more comfortably on longer tours. A Corbin seat for my RF900 costs 500€ but, and although the measure should be all things, this is simply too much money, so I am interested in alternative. Have you possibly had your seat re-upholstered if yes, where we d what did it cost and not more important how it sits after processing. Greeting Jason

Evening forum, as soon as the weather is a little bit better again, I get to the Moped-Leaderschein. I’m pretty excited about it, and as it is in the rush of anticipation, I’m already keeping my eyes open for a suitable krad. I stumbled over a Yamaha XVS 650, which I like. The device is in a car garage. The obvious question: does someone have experience with the purchase of a vehicle in a pawnshop? Can you buy good know-how, or The data: First registration 02 / 2002 Kilometers 20,000 km Power 29 kW (39 hp) Type of vehicle Used number of vehicle holders 2 Body shape Chopper/Cruiser Type of transmission Manual gearbox engine capacity 649 cm3 Cylinder 4 Fuel petrol Empty weight 233 kg Outer colour Black HU test 07 / 2014 Price 3.333 Euro Thank you for your comments.
