My next motorcycle

Should I get:

Ninja 650 -- comfortable city riding, decent on the highway, enough power to have fun but not enough to get into serious trouble

Z900 -- good daily rider, more upright and comfortable than the Ninja, an impressive amount of power but also a naked bike so probably terrible on the highway

KLR650 -- a donkey of a bike, easy to maintain, pretty much non-existent power, xan barely hit 80MPH, good all around for city riding + the ability to go offroad, good utility overall, good for grocery runs

Care to elaborate on why you'd go with the ninja?

What are you on now?

But I'd go the Z900. Though I haven't ridden a full faring sports bike so I'm not sure on what the Ninja 650 feels like comfort wise or how much better having farings goes on the highways.

I was going to get a KLR 650(loved that orange colour) at one stage too but they are pretty big and don't seem very good in traffic especially lane filtering. Also not the best tires for the road(I thought). Also kinda slow(plus no quick shifter I think). But bullet proof apparently.

Z900 and naked bikes are comfortable but it can get windy on the highways but I have nothing to compare them to. But I find them fine at speeds in my area(not sure of an autobarn though lol).

I have an F900R and is pretty good for what I need. I could've gone the MT09 but I didn't feel I needed that extra speed it shows on paper. So it's like a gentleman's hoon bike lol. And the tfts on the BMWs are really good.

Anyway I chose carefully and took into consideration the widths and weights of many bikes inorder to filter between traffic. Also the technology to keep me safer.

If I was to chose again I'd be looking at MT09s to test them out. And maybe street triples. Maybe Zs but I personally prefer the other looks. I'd love the new S1000R but it really would be a waste for daily street riding.

The KLR is a legend but It's an absolute dinosaur on the highway. It can manage but it will hate every minute of it.

No opinion on the Z900 specifically. Nakeds are for metrosexual cityboys.

Ninjas are for squids. Wifebeater and khaki shorts are mandatory.

Obvious answer is the KTM 390 Adventure R.

Yeah sometimes I notice those KTMs in my rear view mirror. Nice bikes. Not sure how the KTM financial issues are going though.

Then the obvious answer is the Z900.
