>>
>>14903236
Depends. Honda makes a 670cc parallel twin that is geared entirely towards commuting with fuel efficiency in mind. A 400cc i4 putting out 53bhp is a solid engine for a commuter bike.
There are some high displacement thumpers that make for solid commuters too.

Can't really generalize anything based on displacement alone.

The engine is decent, the handling is decent, the ergos are good after I swapped the handlebars, the fuel economy is decent, and it has proven itself time and time again to be absolutely indestrucible. I have no need or desire to get another until I have to get rid of this one for some reason. Next step is modding it to full touring/adventure mode and slapping some 80/20 road/off-road tires on it and take it to the wilderness.

>>14903348
It's only the bitch seat part, and it's not as bad as it looks, the effect in picture looks worse because everything else is tilted, too. You can't feel it.


Also fixing up all the fucked fairings. There's literally not a single fairing piece left that hasn't cracked or melted.

The actual subframe is only slightly bent, what makes it look worse is that every single tab and mount that holds the rear seat and the rear fairings on has bent slightly, just straightening the subframe wouldn't be enough.

Owners manual will tell you how to do the basics like oil changes, air filters etc.

This sounds like a loose connector, check the plug that connects the whole cluster, shuld be somewhere under the handlebars.

Also for the 3 cylinders, it's the carbs.
Probably one of the spark plugs is dead.

Peak horse power is 135.
Peak torx is 89.

The engine makes about 70 ft.lbs at 2,000 rpms. Thats why they say triples don't have a torque curve, they have a torque horizon.

Yeah, no.

I seriously don't understand why anyone would ever remotely consider buying some bike in shit condition. Why don't you buy nice bikes in good condition and enjoy riding and your life much more while not looking like a poorfag? Buy something that doesn't need a thousand dollars in repairs. Buy something that doesn't look like absolute shit.

It's fun and cheap as a project bike, but because it's 30+ years old, it might not be the best commuter.

It will pick the worst possible time to die on you forever.

Also, they were king shit in the 1980's, but they are clunky and obese compared to even 90's sportsbikes.

500km a day is easily doable if you start in the morning and take breaks and if your bike is comfy enough. You won't be doing anything else during that day, though.

Example trips I made last summer in a day:
>Stockholm - Malmö 600+ km
>Mannheim - Kochel 400+ km
>München - Liechenstein - Livigno - Bolzano 500+ km (although that was hell due to thunderstorm on the mountains)
>Bolzano - Bled - Graz 500+ km
>Wien - Warsaw almost 700km
>Kaunas - Pärnu 450km

I remember trying but instead of increasing the current bid by the minimum amount it just bid everything I was willing to pay.

Carbs are not as bad as I thought. Only downside is waiting for my bike to warm up. Though I haven't done anything like carb adjustment though.

Same here. If my bike explodes on the first day I'll be really sad. I think I'll end up just strapping a large backpack to my pillion seat. If I need to get off the bike somewhere I can just throw it on my shoulder and keep it with me.

It really depends on the market. If it's in overall good shape aside from those faults [which are easily remedied] then that doesn't sound too bad. How many miles on it?
>>
>>14904000
Not that guy but I picked up a DR650 for 1500 dollars and the only thing wrong with it was that it had a very slight oil leak and the fork seals needed replacing. Try to talk him under 2200, if he won't budge then he's way too optimistic
>>
>>14904001
11k. Marketwise I have too look incredibly local around $2500 because I don't have a vehicle with me. When I go home, I'll be able to look further and won't have to worry about state title transfers and the like.

Most likely, but I see it hanging off the oil plug. I changed the oil 500 miles ago and replaced the crush washer and tightened it down correctly (I think, at least) but I still see it leaking a bit.
