If you have to choose, what bike do you ride if you have more than one?
I confess. There are 6 bikes in my garage (one has to go!). Two are everyday riding bikes: a KTM 1090 Adv R and a Honda CRF250L.
I choose the CRF250L 90% of the time, and have fallen into the trap. Have you?
The 1090 is good for far and fast, but the 250 is just so easy. Light, fast enough for the N1, topbox to carry all the 1090 will and fun to ride.
Over the years I have spoken to many bikers, and most do the same. When they have to choose a bike for the day, it is usually the smaller one. For many reasons: lighter on fuel, easier to ride, cheaper to maintain, designated commuting bike.
So what bike gets your vote 90% of the time?
