Hey Lemmy!

I bought a new 2015 street 750 and I have ridden it all these years. Recently I have been thinking that I want to switch it up and get something else. I mostly use my street 750 to commute to university, but now work; with an occasional day trip to visit family on the other side of Texas. I am thinking of getting a Yamaha MT-03. I know it is an entry level bike but it seems to have good reviews. It has a passenger seat for dates and a sixth gear for the occasional road trip. Since I am mostly commuting I don’t see why 300cc will be too small, so I should save some money with it. I mostly want to ask if there is a reason I should consider the 600cc version or something I also really like the XSR700 but feel it might be hard to find around me.

Any other advice?

    Yeah if you are okay with being stuck in the slow lane then a 300cc, especially one with 40hp, is fine, even going 2up. I just keep comparing it to my 20hp 250cc bike that would have to resort to the truck lane on the highway lol

        The CP2 engine is really nice with that bike, and it looks good too. Not sure how the passenger would feel though, you should definitely test that.
