    • @EnduroAlexis
      @EnduroAlexis Рік тому

      Well, I found the Yamaha XT660 R very useful, V-Stroms are also a good tool but not sure if too heavy for you. But I think one can generally say that Japanese are more attractive for first bike owners as they are cheaper to buy and maintain, if one takes them to a private garage/workshop

Never touched the carb or engine and I had the original front tire with the original air from the dealer.I truly enjoyed it and it did not vibrate at all. Now I ride a Beta 390 beta 200 and gs 1200 all for practicing. Thank you for this video.
