I was thinking it may be a decent and cheap ride with just a headlight and turn signals and use it for commuting and keep some mileage off my Ninja 1000.

I have no experience with dual sports, only moto-x bikes from 50 years ago.

What do ya'll think?



Holy smoke, it would have to run into something hard to break all that stuff, as posted, everything usually bends.

And yes, seems like after you price all the plastic you coulda bought one that's never been dropped hard.
