A week ago, I sold my 2015 SR400 for an offer I couldn’t refuse and put the money toward this brand new NX500. The weather has been very cooperative in my area and I’ve been able to get it through 300 miles commuting to work, and doing my best to do a proper break-in otherwise.
I put nearly 13k miles on my SR. It wasn’t the fastest, but it got me to work for years reliaby and took me on some amazing multi-day road adventures. I’ll certainly miss the charm of the 400 thumper and novelty of being kickstart only, but I think dailying an SR through even rain and freezing cold has earned me the smoothness of the NX (in comparison) and electric start.
This was the SR earlier this year.
Also, wow. You are quite the power user. I checked out your profile looking for more moto content, and between everything else, I got seriously lost in your posts in the best way! I love your weird knife Wednesdays series. I really admire your diverse interests and the depth of your knowledge. Thank you for taking time to give me an informative reply the way you did.
Ah, yeah. Thanks.
I only have seven motorcycles (heh, “only”) so I guess there’s less for me to talk about there. Plus, they won’t fit in my photo box.
Unless I build a new, bigger photo box. Hmm…
Anyway, they’re the ones all lined up in a row in the headline image of this community, except for the Harley all the way down on the left end which is my next door neighbor’s.
