Advice for First Time Bike Purchase
Hi all
I'm sure as many, a free up around motorbikes, but recently decided to actually get my licence for the purpose of commuting. It will be my first purchase and I am not new to motorbikes, but I want some advice.
Looking at purchasing around the 2024+ Suzuki Vstorm 250cc. My commute is pretty simple, a short mix of motorway (100kmh) and mostly 60-80kmh and a journey of around 15km one way. I'm not a big dude so I don't need a big bike and I really don't care about speed.
Are these Suzuki bikes good for my need? In the sense:
- Are the reliable, good resale value, good part availability etc?
I just want to make sure I buy something worthwhile that's cheapish on fuel, don't need a superbike or a dedicated off roader, just reliable, good on fuel and can keep up with motorway speed.
Any suggestions more than welcome.
