    How fuck is it possible? I ride not that old Kawasaki Vulcan S from 2014 and I just can’t keep up with the repairs.

      Don’t abuse it and do all your own work. I keep most of my stuff running by inspecting frequently and doing repairs before it’s an “oh shit will this get me to work” kind of failure. Also motorbikes are a bit different than cars, they run way closer to their mechanical maxes and are just lighter overall. They typically break down quicker.

      Other than brakes, tires, oil, maybe a chain+sprocket when they start to look sad, what kind of repairs?

      Maybe start looking at used Hondas?

        Water tank, head light, has to ask the mechanic to open the transmission box and check if it’s ok – all in the last 6 months.

        Kawasaki is basically Honda.
