Which Single?
hi all,
i gave up heavy two cylinder bikes (transalp - kle 500) and turned to singles. choises are:
suzuki dr650 (2004 - onwards)
kawasaki klr650 (2004 - onwards)
yamaha xt600 (2003)
why these bikes:
- cheap (i am on a budget)
- simple engine
- air/oil cooled
- lighter then any twins
- better in off road and ok for 500km/day
i have read many of the "which bike" and "yamaha", "kawasaki", "suzuki" threads.
1- the problem with these bike is (which is also a pros) the oil/air cooling. is it a big issue in the city or in big climate changes (from -5 to +45 maybe more)?
2- which bike is more reliable?
3- dealer/parts available all over the world?
4- which bike has better fuel consumption?
5- which bike is cheap (and less) to modified?
6- optimum top speed/tork/hp?
my investigations show that DR650 is a bit ahead than the other ones, am i right?
i was an F650 owner. but now i would go for a Japanesse bike in a couple of month to set it up for rtw. any advice is welcome..
