    Full time motorcyle commuter with a one bike garage currently on a straight pipe Duke 390, it was like that when I bought it.

    Kawi’s hybrid looks interesting. Electric when it can be, petrol when it has to be, good mileage, does motorway(ish) speeds, won’t wake the neighbours.

    But, it’s on a sportbike platform and I dunno how comfortable it’ll be to commute on, not sure it’s quick enough to get my jollies on the weekends, and lacks some commuter mod-cons I would expect for modern ride-by-wire (like cruise control) and it’s going to be expensive. I’ll test ride one but I’m not too hopeful

    I want to make the jump to electric. But the 390 ticks more boxes, almost quick enough, really light, sorta good milage, cheap af. But it is full petrol and it is loud, I ride with plugs so I’ve never cared enough to change it.
