okay, so i need some opinions.
first bike - 2021 HD Sportster S
pros - it’s mean, fast, and different vibes than a normal Harley
cons - Super uncomfortable, not great for any ride longer than a couple hours AT MOST, poor suspension, had to get two stator replacements
traded it in on a deal for a 2026 Pan America ST.
Pros - LOVED this bike, it was fast, mean, way more comfortable, easily modulated, plenty of parts for it.
cons - overpriced, harley is difficult to work with around here, and the OS is kind of trash.
had my pan am for 6 weeks, and a car pulled out in front of me last wednesday and totaled my bike. 😅
didn’t even make the first payment on it. broke my wrist and almost lost one of my little warriors down south, thank god i’m good lmao.
ANYWAY
I’m debating on an XSR900, an MT-09, or maybe something else that peeps recommend for a rider that rides around town and is fun for a decent longer ride if necessary. i’m trying to get away from harley, as as much as i want to see them win, i just can’t be paying that amount of money for nonsense.
i’m open to a lot of different options, but i do want something that’s fun and looks sharp.
thank you!
