You sure you aren’t going too small too fast. I guess a test ride will give you an idea. That Royal Enfield looks nice too.
No event has turned yet....just potential. When I got hit and broke my leg in Canada I was riding a 155 CC Yamaha nMax and it was fine on the QEW.
Given the low speed limits, high fines and my penchant for leisurely riding the Honda 125, which is a full sized bike, it would be adequate and we could use the extra money but nothing happens until the BMW sells.
I'll get the front brake sorted on Thursday and will ride it some more. I'm not alone with that sidestand being too long, a number of riders have shortened theirs 25mm. My buddy moved the bike to different location on the rather uneven pavement at the inn owners request...I'm always careful to get the camber angle correct on all the full sized bikes I've owned....30" inseam
- might be less now.
The stock exhaust is enroute in a few days and that will eliminate one minor aural and visual annoyance.
Figured out how to configure the dash and rather like the info available....especially range which was showing 364 km after fill up. That was a surprise on the 11.5 L tank. Will see if true.
Like the right angle air valves - lots of little useful farkles in this list
This appeals from the Himalayan owner

His asking price is only $20 higher than my asking - maybe he would swap but have to try the RE.
.
There is also one of these floating around for $3k with 4k km.
This is the one for sale. I do like the look.
And I notice the kickstand sits at quite an angle...don't know what BMW was thinking.
More power than the 125 Honda but I think smaller overall
Kinda cool ....keyless ignition on this level machine and the tester really liked it. Think I'd prefer the Honda tho especially at the price. But all moot if no sale on the G-310-Gs.
Still 15 HP is a step up over the Honda especially if the bike is lighter....it's not by quite a bit. 137 kg vs the svelte 115 kg for the little Honda. The CB300f I sold is only 150kg so the Suzuki is chunky for the engine size.
Still hoping the RE pans out - even today for a look/sit on.
2018 Suzuki GSX-R125 and GSX-S125
I love getting these calls from Dobie: “Steve, I need you at the track for a launch, Australian Superbike champ Josh Waters is going to be there and so will a truck-load of Suzuki GSX-S and GSX-R models – oh, and you’ll need your leathers.”

Got to sit on the 22 Himalayan. Seat harder than I thought but absolutely the correct height. Weight is down low.
