do you want to go offroad? do you want to be comfortable for long distance, or get there fast? how tall are you? how much do you weight?

>>15409076
6 ft 160

Offroad capability would be nice, not having to baby every curb or bump

long distance comfort would also be nice but not 2 concerned with that

>>15409085
Drz400sm or dr650

>>15409085
get a dualsport or a sumo with a rally kit

a 450+ if you plan on long trips

>>15409145
dr650 looks good and capable just really dull
any cool ones youve seen? I like to work on my vehicles diy style shit

>>15409152
supermoto with monster stickers

>>15409158
kek

WR250X good? Or 2 edge lord

>>15409152
nah. they look really gay imo, just like all 650 dual sports. they look kinda okay with a different head light casing+street sumo tires+without that gay rear fender+with a front fender that goes right above the tire

>>15409172
wr250 is bretty good but cant handle the freeway for shit and long distance would be aids.

>>15409183
oh shit yeah, that would blow.
Just goes 2 slow?

>>15409021
If you just want to absorb road bumps then a nice V-strom 650 will suit all your needs. The engine is mostly unchanged since 1999 and it's rock solid. It's too heavy to take on any serious offroading but then that's the case with any non-single motorcycle engine.
The DR650 is a shitbike to end all shitbikes. Made with cheapest bargain bin components but with much more steel than needed it perfectly encapsulates colin Chapman's design philosophy of "simplify and add weight"
But really, that's the kind of progression you should make. No matter what bike you get as a first bike it'll always be "A first bike" and you'll feel the need to upgrade from the first bike, whether it's a 250, 650, 300 or a 600.
Your first bike should be a bit shit so that when you get a half-decent one it'll feel like an upgrade and you'll be happy.
Tldr: buy a dr650 or equivalent and start saving up for a dl650 or equivalent

>>15409183
I've ridden a WR450X with mawds and it is a sick bike. stock clutchless wheelies, takes off fast af, and fuel injected

>>15409188
yeah 2 slow for me. just all depends on what you wanna do. you could probably do freeway speeds redlining it

>>15409191
thanks anon

Try a vintage Honda.

>>15409085
Adventure Bike desu

>>15410329
Are those good for beginners? They have a ton of power and do 11s or better in the 1/4. I kind of want one but have been going back and forth between them and a dual sport since I have no experience.

>>15410382
Most bikes only have power available when you really twist on the throttle.
So even for a begginer its not bad as long as you dont act like a tard

>>15410480
Im not op but kinda in a similar situation cept my non car person spouse needs to be able to use it

I was looking at a grom because its small and i can afford a new one

>>15410510
If you dont need to go faster than 45mph... sure...
There are better bikes for the price though.

>>15410382

>>15410968
Notorious for valves getting destroyed in pre 2013 models
