Going from 1000cc to a learner bike? opinions please :)
Ladies and Gentlemen, been a long time since I have been on here, good to see the forum is still alive!
Wanted to get some opinions - the forums are the place to go these days.
I currently own a 2012 Aprilia Tuono but......it has dawned on me that the Tuono is much more bike than i can handle or use plus I don't ride it nearly as much as I should to warrant the money I paid for it (9k). So I am looking to change to a smaller CC bike.
I aim to sell or swap the bike for an older 600cc sports preferably a Daytona 675 or CBR600RR but end up with about 3k in my pocket after the trade, I have come to the conclusion - from extensive perusing on TradeMe and Facebook that the 600cc range seem to hold their value and I would be very lucky to get any cash from a trade to a 600 sports.
The next option is to go even further down the cc range into learner bike territory.
There is an offer on the table right now for a 3.5k trade for a 2020 KTM RC390.
Has anyone here been in a situation where they go from a 1000cc (170hp) bike to a 400ccish (44hp) bike?
Any comments on the transition?
When I do go out for a ride it is one of two types of ride - 30 minute highway into work or mild twisties for a couple of hours. Nothing super challenging or aggressive.
