There's a lot of bike styles out there. Just curious to know what's the general taste out there among this LYN group. There are 6 styles in the list. Choose your fav and maybe add a few lines why you prefer that particular style.

Naked bike for me.. love the raw feeling of riding.
But I also added windshield to block some wind, maybe deep inside I'm a sport touring fan?

Scooter : " I am discriminated.."

E-Bikes: bruv

Only manuals included LOL

am still riding my first bike, a naked bike and i'm liking the wind blast > 100 km/h(at least i wont sweat under my mesh jacket? ) so no idea how it feels like with a fully faired bike.

can consider NM4

Useless poll.. hahaha...
Moto boys where can settle with only 1 bike?

Each bike style for each riding style. So it depends on what and how we ride.

Street, naked, or scooter
Highway , ADV or sport touring
Off road, kapchai with knobbies.

Personally, I have no preference. Sportbikes are nice but getting too old for the ergos.

hehe, maybe a poll like "how many bikes do you want?"
then, name them in the comments

I'll probably "sportsbike" everything

then again, for practical reasons I'm looking at XJ6, SV650, Versys (a bit too heavy I fear)

Yup, depends on what gets you best. Let's say, it is just one bike that you can have and own. I have friends who has several bikes for different purposes and also friends who must choose one bike for as many purposes they use it for. So, not that useless lah

My ideal

naked, less than 200kg wet, non water cooled, can ride upright sit straight, full service/workshop manual available, spare part ez to get/import, non low seat + forward control... less than rm35k

why dont want water cooled? you like burning your legs?

not super leaning forward.... and yes why dont want water cooling? way i see it, the upkeep is a small price to pay

Its all about the compromises one is willing to make.

If only one bike, perhaps a street/retro scrambler type bike. Say a triumph scrambler 900, or a cheaper 700CLX.

Add a windshield, good for highway. Long flat seat means you can move about to whatever lean you want or just sit upright. With proper tyres, can do light to moderate offroading. Not too heavy about 200kg wet.

Right now, I'm pretty happy with my dominar despite its shortcomings, something I already known and willing to live with until a later time. I have it setup as a low cost mini touring/adv bike. Can handle light offroading, decent wind protection with my headlight riser and windshield. Just enough power for highway. Fun enough in the twisties. Most importantly, Cheap as fuck to not worry about trashing it and doing big miles. Mine seems to have avoided most of the lemon issues..now approaching 60k in 2.5years.

In any case, no point owning a garage queen.

Mana retro-style bikes?

fewer parts, simpler to maintain, less headache,

yes some model of dukati, harli, etc are not water cooled, n hv been around for years...
