Hi
Pretty much a newbie here and am currently about 6 months on a wr250x. I am looking to upgrade to a bigger bike. Was seriously considering the Husqvarna 701 sm or KTM690 sm. Both seem kind of big and heavy though. Now I am looking at converting a Honda 450l, which is about 30 pounds lighter. The Honda has no ABS or rider aids.
For now I want a bike for city commuting and hitting the back roads, etc.
I know the Honda requires oil change every 600 miles and I think I am good with that. Given they about the same price (including the sm set up for the Honda), anyone have a strong opinion either way?
Do I need/want ABS? Is having ABS better than having a lighter bike?
Thanks!
