From one okie to another, welcome! Better get you one before the stuff hits the fan. I bought my Tbr7 for riding to work and back (30 mile round trip), since my truck loves gas. Now that it's cheap, I still ride because I know it won't last forever.

yep one of the reasons is absolutely gas. have 22 miles each way about 16-17 (depends on which odometer is right) on old 66 the rest backroads. and a pathfinder that gets 14 ish mpg. so ya a bike will pay for itself. and ya i really hope i'm able to get it before it gets too much worse. anyways thanks for the welcome.

thanks Dan
i am really liking the brozz recon. soft seat and cb engine look like positives if not requirements to me. looking at getting a more 50/50 set of tires for it if not 80/20. most of my plans are riding the backroads around the house with daughter in tow and here at the farm. have 20 acres half woods half pasture. and after some work hopefully it will be capable of being a commuter also. reason for the recon instead of standard is i love the desert tan. other than that after driving my wife and daughter crazy for some months and what feels like several thousand hours of youtube and other internet the brozz seems to check the most boxes for me. and actually the csc rx4 seems like the perfect bike if i had 5-6k to throw at it. but i didn't want a payment before and absoutly not now! lol with that said the trb7 and hawk are tied at no.2 at the moment. |
