This is my current Bike, a 2016 Fazer8. I got it about two years ago as a replacement for my old 97 Africa Twin.

ive never heard this before so i hope you dont mind if i steal it
im on a KLR 650, so essentially a pig, but i bought it for that "legendary reliability" but after a bunch of years with it, im starting to get that itch
my biggest problem with "fast" advs is how $$$ they are, at least here in Colorado but sport bikes are still pretty reasonably priced
i think 2020 and all that shit really created this giant market for advs and the mark ups feel a little nuts
my real honest to goodness dream is to have a nice adv and a some sort of track toy, but that cost money which is getting harder to find
If you live near a track or mountains or canyons, sport bike will be fun. If you want to do longer rides, they will be kinda crappy unless they're sport-touring.
lol ya i literally live up in the mountains practically in a canyon. some of butlers best roads are very near me
im also super close to a bunch of BDRs and national land. its real good problems to have but the grass is always greener i guess
i just see some of these dudes fly by and i just get envious. im trying to save/convince my partner to let me get one of them new ninja-400s. they just so cheap i could see that as being a fun time
