Hi everyone,
I finally decided to buy a motorcycle, but I don't know what to choose between three motorcycles KTM 690 SMCR, YAMAHA MT 07, and SUZUKI DRZ400SM.
My hight is 5.10 and my inseam is 3.2, I have back injury from car accident, heavy objects are problem for me.
It'll be my first bike, and I won't be using it for commuting, just for short rides early in the morning, few times a week, and I'm going to use it on the road only.
I live in Bahrain, it's 70 by 40 kilometres and it's very hot and humid in summer.
I sat on the KTM and loved it immediately, I was able to touch the ground, it was light and good quality, and the sales man told me that he was informed that maybe it'll be discontinued in 2018, but it's not available the waiting period is one month.
I sat on the YAMAHA it was lower but heavier and you have to lean little forward, it looks nice though.
I haven't sat on the SUZUKI because it's not available in the dealer but it's available in Saudi Arabia I think it has same seat hight as the KTM, I know that it has only five speeds and carburettor, but I think it's okay for what I need (short rids and few wheelies), and it's reliable, and easy to maintain (bonus for me to learn how to work on motorcycles as a hobby) and it's cheaper than the KTM.
I need your opinions.
Thank you very much
