My Motorcycle and Why I Got It

in #motorcycles8 years ago (edited)

I haven't seen too many people posting about motorcycles, which is fine, but I thought I would just show you mine and tell you all why I got it.

She's a 2015 Suzuki DR200S - an enduro (on road/off road).

Some bike guys might think "oh it's a baby," which is fine. I didn't get it to show off on the road and I'm not into spending 10k on a 1000cc bike.

The main reason I bought this motorcycle was to save money on gas for short trips. Another reason is because motorcycles are fun to ride - and this one can ride trails. My brother and I took a motorcycle trip from IL to AZ, CO and back to IL, all on two little 250cc or lower enduros. I didn't take this bike on that trip, but it was a 1984 Suzuki 220SP I believe.

You see, this motorcycle gets around 105mpg, and it only costs about $4-5 to fill the tank.

I figured I would get this for those "oh shit I forgot that one thing from the grocery store" moments.

If you've got a bike, feel free to either show me a picture or tell me what it is and why you got it.

Thanks for stopping by,

200cc is all you need. Looks like a blast to ride.

I mean I'm not going 75+ on highways with this thing lol but yeah for trips into town and back, this thing is great. Fun to ride trails with too!
