Greetings all!
Stoked I found this group. I’m new to motorcycles as of last year (Covid boredom). I got a Suzuki DRZ 400 and put about 5000 miles on it over last summer and fall. Mostly just around town rips, and a couple overnights down to my dads. I live in Northern NH. I love the little bike but got tired of getting blown around on the interstate and ringing the bike out at 80mph. I mostly ride pavement, with some dirt and forest service roads thrown in. Really I’ve decided I want a bike I can set out on and log more miles comfortably. Adventure and explore. Nothing gnarly but I’d like
To cover some ground. Maybe 200-300 miles in a day.... I’d like to do some shorter overnights up the Maine coast or around Vermont. Nothing huge, but the DRZ was exhausting after two hours. Other bikes I’m considering are the Ducati Scrambler, KLR 650, Vstrom 650.... Im not much for full on dual sport riding, but do like a little adventure up a back road. I also love the Scrambler look and retro styling of the SCR. I’ve found a great price on a basically brand new SCR. Would you recommend this bike for what I’d like to do? Any words of wisdom before selling the DRZ and getting the SCR. I wish I could afford 2 bikes but it’s just not in the budget..... yet! Thanks for any input.
