The question of whether or not to increase the number of vehicles
(How I use it)※if it's the caseThe old Ninja 650 is the best! ..... I'm so happy to be back!
Touring of 5~600km per day and urban travel in and around Tokyo
Reasonably compact.(Unlike the Ninja 400, which I was not happy with)Reasonably powerful, comfortable riding position, and above allA body design that strikes a chord with me personally.
But if I keep driving at the pace I have been driving for the past two years, I will reach 100,000 km in five years. The manufacturer's liability law? I heard that the manufacturer is responsible for supplying "important safety parts" and "parts that are necessary to maintain the function" for about 8 years due to some kind of manufacturer's liability law, so it is possible to fully restore the car with new parts in 2022, which is just 5 years old.......(Oh, of course, there's always the possibility that the love won't last that long. (Of course, there is a possibility that the love may not last that long.)
Oh, and cowls and other exterior parts."run (a program)"This is not directly related to the function of the product, so it seems that the product will basically be discontinued when there are no more parts in stock at the end of production...... But this is only good if it doesn't mock up too badly........
The problem of renting a bike is a good one.
However, it is possible to take measures to reduce the mileage in order to prolong the life of the bike. As an old man rider, I don't think I'll be able to ride as many bikes as I'd like. So, I've been thinking, "Why not use the life extension of the Ninja 650 as an excuse to get a second bike? That's what I've been thinking lately.....
Think of it as an extra car and plunk that amount down on a rental bike.I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.
I'm a member of this club, so I can ride up to 10 bikes a year at a discounted price at any of the participating stores and group stores (I signed up at 2Rinkan, but there are currently 7 stores that offer this service). I've rented the same bike twice, so even if it's just the big ones I haven't ridden yet, it's still a good deal.Z1000, NC750X, GSX-750S, GSX-S1000F, XJR1300C, YZF-R6There are still many bikes that I would like to ride, and the vehicles are changed regularly. Even if you are not eligible for unlimited rides, you can get a discounted vehicle.BMW S1000R, MT-10, and 390DUKEand many other interesting vehicles.
Outside the contracted group storesNot only NInja H2 and Z900RS, but also Moto Gucci, MV Agusta and Honda Goldwing.It's also convenient for local touring by airplane.
If you buy a 1 million yen bike with a 3 year loan, you can ride a lot of bikes if you put that amount into renting a bike.......
The reason why I chose the Ninja 400 when I returned to Japan was because there was no room on the CB400SF or DSC4, so I did an elimination test and it was great.
There will be more attractive bikes.
However, the possibility of more cars hasn't disappeared, so I've been working on it lately.After test riding the Rebel 250, I went to YSP to see the SEROW.I also look into used car shops when I have free time to move around.
For example, today. I had some time in between meetings, so I checked out a nearby bike shop and went to visit.
INDIAN Scout
Harley-Davidson's 883 IRON, which I have rented twice, is also a candidate for more cars, but Harley is .... What can I say? ...... It's hard to say this out loud.......I don't want to be seen as the same as the unmanned Harley army people I often see......
And today I saw a lightweight water-cooled V-twin bike from INDIAN, also from the US. It's a nice bike with a mature look. It is said to have an upright caster angle and a ride quality similar to a naked bike.... I didn't get a chance to test ride it because I didn't have time, but I was pretty much knocked out by its design........ I'll try to find a rental vehicle for this one.
There are still so many fascinating bikes that we don't know about!......
