Two votes for “other”. What did I miss?

Honestly, a lot and thats not me being an ass. There are a lot of brands that many don't think of.

Sherco, Beta, Gas Gas, Husky, Arch, Bultaco, AJP, ... the list goes on and on

My bad I thought those were dirt bikes, do they make street legal?

I mean the idea of the Bronco is to get out and explore right? Pretty tough to take a cruiser down a service road

Egh. I would say maybe Husky of all those. I think I covered the bases pretty well, others are niche.

I took that gixxer down a fire road.
And no, the bronco is a daily driver.

I'll agree to disagree.

Fire roads are do-able the roads that are not maintained are a little different.

I looked at the entire list of manufacturers on cycle trader and included the the mass produced motorcycle, with a few odd balls like Laverda. No one on here rides a Laverda.
Beta, Gas Gas, Husky... those are primarily dirt bikes.
Arch? Who on here rides an Arch? I didn’t include OCC purposely.

No one rides Arch, but you asked what our favorites are, not what we can afford.

Neat, a one off bike with 4" of ground clearance and clip on bars go slow through that section or you'll rip off the 3k it has in exhaust

I was thoughtful enough to include an “other” option. My conscience is clear.

Do you ever miss the simplicity and assumed light weight of the Honda? Or are the Harleys stonkin’ engine and bells and whistles addictive?


how do the VTX and harley engines compare?
