Hey Lemmy!
I bought a new 2015 street 750 and I have ridden it all these years. Recently I have been thinking that I want to switch it up and get something else. I mostly use my street 750 to commute to university, but now work; with an occasional day trip to visit family on the other side of Texas. I am thinking of getting a Yamaha MT-03. I know it is an entry level bike but it seems to have good reviews. It has a passenger seat for dates and a sixth gear for the occasional road trip. Since I am mostly commuting I don’t see why 300cc will be too small, so I should save some money with it. I mostly want to ask if there is a reason I should consider the 600cc version or something I also really like the XSR700 but feel it might be hard to find around me.
Any other advice?
I have had the Street 750 for 9yrs and want to try something different. Looking at the MT03’s spec sheet it looks like it covers my bases 90% of the time while not breaking the bank. I took a stroll at the HD and they just price themselves out (If i had $25k for a bike id get a new car) and don’t really care for the aesthetic all that much. I like the idea of an XSR 700, but there aren’t any around here. There is a dealer that has some 900s, but they are just more than I want to pay. There is nothing wrong with my 750, so if I am paying more than $10k its better to just hang on to it.
