I visited one motorcycle repair shop that had a few bikes for sell, a local aprilla/moto guzzi dealership (which also had a decent amount of used bikes) and two places that sold gear. The shop had a Honda Rebel with a windscreen (?) and soft panniers (??). The question marks were because I have never seen a Rebel or other 250 standard with so much equipment installed on it before.
I am also concerned about taking the Rebel (or anything similar like a Nighthawk or GZ250) on roads with speeds past 45mph. Its why i considered the 250 Ninja as reading here it doesnt have that prob.
The aprilla/moto guzzi dealership had bikes that were too large (R1, R6, GSXR, M109R, zx-10) in regards to power. They also had some bikes from some customizer named Johnny Pag that had a displacement of 300cc. I didnt sit on any of the Pags since I figure parts would be hard to find. Also, I havent yet sat on a 250 Ninja so I am curious to see how that would be.
Tried on some gear as well. I havent read much about gear so i will combine my store experiences with what I read to find what will work for me.
