Hi,
I usually drive cars and dont own any bike now. Daily office commute is around 50kms (up and down) of which around 35KM is on 4 lane highway which I thoroughly enjoy. I used to have a pulsar which was sold several years back. Now I would like to buy a bike or a scooter mainly for city use, buy groceries etc. and occasionally for office commute (Occasional or not depend on how much I like the vehicle I guess)
My thought is if I get a bike (Like dominar) I might as well regularly take that for office commute and enjoy the ride. If I get a scooter then I would continue using my car for office commute and use the scooter occasionally. Will a 125cc scooter like burgman or ntorq be boring to ride on a highway?
I drive/ride responsibly but generally faster than 99% of the traffic. I drive around potholes mercilessly and usually due to that have spend considerable amount of money to repair the suspension on the car. For that is a bike or scooter better to withstand the abuse?
Another thing that worries me about scooters is that most people warn me of backpain. I have never had backpain so far but definitely dont want to have one. I'm around 6 ft and around 70kg if that matters.
When it comes to buying groceries etc I guess its a no brainer that scooters win. Other than putting an ugly box at the back of a bike are there any other accessories that will let me carry groceries and still look good on the bike? Carrying a backpack is one option but if you are going out for something else and want to buy stuff there is no way to carry it.
