Hi guys, an ex-colleague asked some advice today, he is looking at buying a small runabout for commuting and possibly doing some gravel road.
So he is 130kg, obese, diabetic and won't be able to lift a large bike if it should fall over.
He's asked me about the Kawasaki Versys 300, I told him to also look at the CRF300Rallye and DL250....
The question is not about power or lack thereof, but can/will the suspension on any of these cope with his weight?
My thought is no..
Thanks
Kobus
