You're absolutely right about re-tooling and R&D costs but they've made their money back on that stuff and then some after 20-30 years. I've heard it is because they're worried about emissions and the electric crap being forced on everyone. Who knows for sure.

That's excellent advice on getting something used and cheap and then figuring out what you actually need. I've given that same advice in regards to 4x4 vehicles and also firearms and firearm accessories.

That is a good point. I was watching F9 on youtube and he broke down the different ratings systems for helmets and it made me realize that they're not all equal and some are kind of a sham.

I don't know why, but to me I'd rather buy a new helmet than used just in case.

I also wouldn't ever buy a used wedding ring but that is a little different scenario.

That's true. I haven't looked at prices lately but I figure I'll end up spending around $200 for a decent jacket and between $300-$500 for a good helmet.

I don't want to cheap out on riding gear but I also don't know what is a bargain and what isn't so I'll probably just buy the best I can afford.

That's exactly the type of response I was looking for. Thanks.

Depending on insurance premiums I'd definitely consider a 600cc sport bike.

I've rode dirt bikes mostly so that is my riding experience. If I got a sport bike, or even a dual sport, I'll go take the rider safety course and then see if there are any classes I can take from there to learn more.

It's crazy how so many of those dual sports haven't changed since the 90s, maybe even the 80s for some of them. You'd think they'd at least give them a 6 speed transmission instead of a 5 speed like most of them have.

Well, actually...

There was an article about how Sig bribed the US military by paying for parties with hookers and cocaine in Las Vegas. I'll try and find it.

https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2022/10/18/former-nato-afghanistan-commander-general-scott-miller-joins-sig-sauer/

I found this in a quick search. Generals don't tend to know much about firearms from the engineering standpoint but they sure do have connections.

I'm sure he's being paid very well for his "consulting services."

They need to get rid of stuff like that and spend the money on the VA instead of kickbacks from kikes.

That stuff burns me up so damn bad.

Did you guys see where they want to give israel, ukraine, and some other country/groups BILLIONS but also cut VA spending?

This is tied in with the ukraine aid package but CNN didn't mention it for some odd reason...

  A massive spending bill signed into law by President Joe Biden provides for a one-time $13.6 billion infusion of military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine as it fights back against Russia's invasion. The aid is attached to an appropriations law that sets spending limits for the federal government for fiscal year 2022.

The "adventure" bikes were something I was considering until I saw that many of them were ~$20,000 new and not a whole lot less used.

BMW, KTM, and I think maybe Honda make the best adventure bikes from what I understand.

The Honda CRF450L and CRF300L Rally were also bikes I was considering.

You're right about the adventure bikes probably being most practical for using daily and for off road fun occasionally.

I think what I'd want would be a dual sport type that I can ride in the dirt fairly hard and then put bags/boxes on if I want to go camping.

As far as riding two passengers goes, I doubt that I'd do it that often. The way people drive these days would have me nervous to put my wife on the back, much less my girlfriends.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

For those who may not know;

Ron Cohen is the current boss at Sig Sauer and he is obviously a JEW.

He bribed the US military to buy Sig Sauer stuff when we should have bought Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm pistols or something owned and made in the USA and if that wasn't possible then they should've gone with Glock or HK.

He wasted untold amounts of taxpayer money with the NSGW garbage that Sig Sauer pushed and won.

He sold arms to cartels in central america and south america.

He doesn't care about quality control and relies on the end user for research and development which is why they have recalls on damn near anything they made in the last 10+ years.

He is the reason why Kimber has such a deserved bad reputation.

I'm going to repeat this about the current Sig Sauer company as often as needed haha

Please do not buy Sig Sauer stuff unless it is the old "made in Germany" stuff. They DO NOT have our best interests at hear and your money would be better spent with good companies who actually care about our rights and freedoms instead of being an active component of ZOG.

There is truth to that but Sig Sauer is one of the most corrupt companies now if not THE most corrupt.

HK stopped selling stuff to israel because of how they treat palestinians and israel threw a fit.

Barrett stopped selling and servicing stuff in states that don't allow civilians to own the same models the government/police have.

Stuff like that is what I like to see.

This replaced, or will replace, the Type 89 which it turns out was inspired by the Armalite AR 180 like I was thinking. The Type 20 looks like a FN SCAR to me. I wish they'd sell a civilian version in the USA.

1. Howa Type 20
  
  The Howa Type 20 Assault Rifle (20式小銃, ni-maru-shiki-shōjū), referred to as the Type 20 5.56mm Rifle (20式5.56mm小銃, ni-maru-shiki-go-ten-go-roku-miri-shōjū), is an assault rifle developed for the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force by Howa. The first examples were purchased in 2019, and it is intended to eventually replace the Howa Type 89 in general service. Development In August 2014, it was reported that the JGSDF was looking for a new rifle to replace the Type 89. Initial candidates to replace the Type 89s include the Heckler & Koch G36, Heckler & Koch HK416, Steyr AUG, FN SCAR, and a new rifle developed by Howa.In 2015, the Japanese Ministry of Defense procured various foreign made rifles for testing purposes and contracted with Howa to test their domestic rifle. The procurement contract is shown as: The small...

Yep, those KLR diesels are expensive but they can be had. The company who made the engine/diesel conversion still makes stuff too I think.

I was referring to the KLX that the Japanese guy was riding and all the accessories though.

Sad to hear that about the Howa. Howa is known for making affordable and good quality bolt action hunting rifles but I've never used one.

Nothing wrong with "effort posts" friend.

My usage for a liter bike would be to rip around earlier in the morning when very few people are around and I doubt I'd spend more than a half hour or an hour riding it before I put it back. I'd also consider a 2005 or so GSXR 1000 even though "gixxers" have a reputation for being the choice of "bros" who ride in flip flops and no gear.

I think the "dual-sport" bikes or whatever the street/trail bikes are called would be a better choice if I could only have one. It seems like you prefer the DRZ 400 over the DR650/XR650. If that is correct, what makes you like it better?

I hear that air cooled models don't make as much power but are simpler and more reliable and the weight difference between the DRZ 400 and the DR650 was around 30lbs difference I think.

What do you all think?

BMW makes awesome motorcycles.

I'd figure the Japanese would use Honda XR650s or Suzuki DR400/DR650 though.

I've been thinking about getting a Honda XR650 or a DR650 for a couple years now. I'd really like to get a KTM but they're expensive and I hear that they're awesome but probably not worth the extra money.

I'd also like to get a Honda CBR1000rr or a Yamaha R1 too.

Now I have to research what model Kawasaki that is and if you can get the military parts for it along with the rifle he is using.

It looks like a cross between a FAL and an Armalite 180 or something.

I'd like to see Japan have a military again. It isn't right that they've been held back from it for so long. The fact that they've been such reliable trade partners and allies for so long now should be enough to get rid of any restrictions they might still have.

Yep, funny how they changed course when it was convenient (or maybe because it wasn't convenient? - either way they changed a long held belief) and now you see them as missionaries in those countries.

It makes sense if you think about it because most of the violent criminals and White collar criminals are darker skinned. Think negros, hipspanics, jews, turks, etc.

I used to tell people "what's the difference between a Mormon and a Moron?" - "The letter m."

I've met some decent Mormons though so I don't want to trash them too much. Never understood why they think darker skin means more sin (which seems to be true) but yet they're philo-semitic.
