6 speeds, 60 plus MPG, 3.5 gal tank, liquid cooled twin, only 24 hp but tuned for low and midrange. On the heavy side, yes, but MSRP is only $3,999.

The Suzuki GW250!

Heh. One might actually be happier on a Honda Forza 300.

I was about make some wise crack about it's weight and HP figure, but then I remembered I have a Yamaha SR400 in the garage...

SR400 is kinda cool.

Don't they call that the Inazuma? it's very popular in certain parts of the world. It was on a list of possibilities for my wife's first bike, but she said, quote: "it's butt ugly." i can't disagree with her.

For sure. The Forza 300 thumper is less ugly and can probably out accelerate it.

When I returned to motorcycling, I wanted to by a Honda CB500R. Beautiful looking motorcycle with its tri-colored paint scheme.
But my 6 foot 2 inch, 225 pound, 68 year old body did not fit on it.

Finally settled on a CB500XA.
Rode it for 33,000 kilometers over 3 summers, and enjoyed every ride on it. Light, nimble, great gas mileage and range.

The monstrous exhaust on the B-King reminds me of the custom exhaust stacks that the local hillbillys put on their pickup trucks. Someone's trying to compensate. I always laugh.

Does the rain water drain out somewhere?
