The 88-07 is cheaper, more abundant, and anecdotally has better performance than the newgen. If you want something newer/have a better budget, you may as well bump up to a 300 ABS.

If your not seating beads you can use a bicycle pump.

Hey I wasn't trying to be snarky with the bike pump suggestion. What do you see as the benefit of an electric pump? A nice bike pump is going to be cheaper, lighter, and just as fast unless you have an overkill compressor sitting around for other stuff anyway.

pokie posted:Correct me if I am wrong, but my impression was that there is no way a bike pump can get a moto tire to 36 psi or w/e. That's why in my first post I had the seating beads caveat. Otherwise you're looking at portable pumps that run on 12V and take just as long as a manual bike pump or you may as well get a nice compressor that you'll use for other stuff.

Ya'll are crazy. Bike tires run at something like twice the psi of a motorcycle tire, and for my motorcycles I've rarely had to add more than a couple psi. It takes no more time than pumping up bicycle tires.

Uh a DRZ is both less comfortable and taller than a KLR.

My experience has been that mesh is cooler than going squid as long as you're moving more than 5 mph and it's less than' 98 out. Over that it blows no matter what.

I know the pregen ninja, of all things, never got side racks from anyone. Your options are soft luggage or self-made.

Pine Cone Jones posted:I'm up in New Hampshire, there are older Ninja 250's for between 1.5-2.5k and 300's for around 3k. The only reason I'm considering the Z400 is that I feel it might last me longer than the Ninja 250 and might be better suited to longer rides at higher speeds along the highway if I was going to go up to northern and western Maine. I'm too short for adventure bikes, unless they were lowered, unfortunately. The Ninja 250 would be cheaper and probably a wiser choice at the start, but new and shiny is...well new and shiny, unless I drop it. I've owned 5 bikes over the last 9 years, and the 250 I've had for the last 4 is the most comfortable one of them all other than the '81 Goldwing. I've done up to 450 mile days and moto camping trips up to 5 days on it. The 250's seat allows lots of movement to change up your riding position on long rides. I would say the 250 is more tiring than my other bikes were on the interstate, but the bike can do it all day, and if there is a wrong way to ride motorcycles it's riding on the interstate. This is the longest I've kept a bike. My previous bikes include an SV-650 and DRZ, neither of those lasted 6 months. It's in the budget to get a new bike next spring but it makes me kinda sad to think about getting rid of the 250. Like Slavvy said, the real advantage the newer bikes have is ABS.
