A compilation of motorcycles for those who want an all-around motorcycle.

In this article, I'll introduce the motorcycles recommended for those who want an all-round motorcycle, along with the voices of actual users!

What is the best motorcycle for someone who wants an all-around motorcycle?

All-round means excellent in many fields. It means all-around. All-round performance is also important in motorcycles. Riding in the city, touring, sports driving, the motorcycle that can do these in one is convenient. Because a motorcycle is a shopping of the class of one million yen in a new motorcycle, I want to use it variously and get the original.

For example, wouldn't a motorcycle like this be considered an all-rounder?
"You can enjoy sports driving at the circuit and come back after long touring."
For your reference, it is about 100km from the center of Tokyo to Fuji Speedway, and it is the distance that can be called touring only by round trip. In addition, it is a touring course to run one or two sports driving slots of Fuji.

To do this, first of all, it is important to be comfortable to move around without getting tired. Fuji is a high-speed course, so it is good to have a motorcycle with a reasonable displacement so that you can enjoy sport riding without disturbing other vehicles. In addition, you should not ignore the load capacity to carry the gears such as tunics.

The analogy was strong, but I think that all-roundness means that it can meet these kinds of desires. If you find one motorcycle that can meet your needs, you will get several motorcycles. The attachment is doubled, too. Please try to find your own all-rounder while referring to the following selection.

What owners are saying about riding their motorcycles for those who want an all-around motorcycle.

Here's some of what some of the owners have to say about their actual motorcycles, saying they'd recommend them to anyone who wants an "all-around motorcycle!" We've picked them up by displacement so you can use them as a reference when looking for a motorcycle!

- Serow 250: Daily use, touring, off-road, camping, going around Hokkaido. It's really a super versatile vehicle that can be used for anything and go anywhere. A great machine with nothing to complain about.
- X-ADV: An unprecedented scooter-type adventure. The X-ADV is an unprecedented scooter-type adventure that has uses unimaginable for a scooter, including high speed, mountain passes and off-road.
- Z H2: Supercharged monster machine. With the benefit of electronic control, it can run anywhere unexpectedly. Enjoy powerful touring and motor sports anywhere.
- HAYABUSA: 300km/It is designed to be able to run at a speed of 2.5km/h, which gives you plenty of room to ride around town and cruise slowly. Of course, it's also fun to drive on the track!

Motorcycles under 250cc for those who want an all-round motorcycle.

Touring Serow

Purpose of purchase, purpose of use, comparative models	A friend of mine bought a Super Sherpa, and the words "I want to do forest road touring, so who wants to buy an off-road vehicle? I decided to buy a Tricker or a Serow because my workplace is now a 30 minute walk away and my commuter fast motorcycle has almost 130,000km and blows smoke all over the range from idling to high rpm. Because the stock of the Tricker had already disappeared, it was decided to Serow. Because the use is also a town ride, a light forest road, and touring here and there, I became a touring serow. The color made it to the red which was not seen so much.
Strengths/Satisfactory points	It's light and easy to ride with good footing, no matter what you wear. The screen and hand guards provide good wind protection, and the rear box on the GB made the handlebars unruly, so I had to move them as far forward as possible and put a steering damper on them to keep them in check, but the 37 litre box on the Selo didn't affect this. I can load bags in the space between the rider and the box, so I think the load is more than enough.
Weaknesses and complaints	The handlebars are wider and longer than the GB, so it's hard to fit in the same spot. The seat is screwed down, so it's a bit of a hassle to attach the gel zab and mesh cover.
Advice to prospective buyers.	It is not suitable for people who want speed and high high-speed stability because it is an off-road vehicle and the gear is only up to 5th gear. If it is normal, it is not suitable for serious motocross. The standard helmet holder is not easy to use with the side bag support, so it is recommended to move or add it to the handlebar. I kept the standard helmet holder and added it to the handlebars because I don't mind having more keys.

Large motorcycle (~750cc) recommended for those who want an all-round motorcycle.

X-ADV

Purpose of purchase, purpose of use, comparative models	This is a change from BMW RnineT. I wanted to maneuver in traffic and take my time to enjoy the scenery.
Strengths/Satisfactory points	Anyway, I've had about 20 motorcycles in my life and it's the best motorcycle I've ever owned. The engine is particularly torquey, with a low "thump-thump-thump" exhaust note despite its scooter shape.
Weaknesses and complaints	I think it would be a lot more fun at high speeds if the engine revved a little more: ・・・・
Advice to prospective buyers.	It's not a factory product, but the steps can be added, and the best part is that you can add a normal motorcycle step position. You can also throw your legs out at high speeds and ride. I didn't realize how easy it would be to get into different positions on a long ride.

Large motorcycles (~1000cc) for those who want an all-round motorcycle.

Z H2

Purpose of purchase, purpose of use, comparative models	It was the year of the inspection of XSR900. The rear tire is also the limit. The trade-in price was so good that I decided to think about changing. BMW R1250R and Kawasaki ZH2 are candidates as the ultimate of naked. As a result of test riding both of them, I chose ZH2 which is so fast that it makes me laugh. It is fiercely over budget.
Strengths/Satisfactory points	The XSR900 was a wildly fast machine. The ZH2 is faster than that, but it is a machine that can be controlled properly. It's a machine that you can open the throttle without worry.
Weaknesses and complaints	If you get carried away and rev the supercharger, the fuel consumption will of course deteriorate extremely. It's not good for your mental health to see the reserve display on a winding road.
Advice to prospective buyers.	I'd like to see the Kawasaki Plaza store improve their service and sales, which are upscale but not even close to the Dream store, let alone BMW. I think they should do something like training at a luxury hotel, going out to eat there, or learning tea ceremony.

Large motorcycles (1001cc and up) for those who want an all-round motorcycle.

Hayabusa

Purpose of purchase, purpose of use, comparative models	The reason why I bought it was because the new model with full of electronic control was announced when I thought "I'll get a Hayabusa someday", so I made a tentative reservation on the world announcement day and made a contract on the Japan announcement day. Mainly used for touring. No comparable models.
Strengths/Satisfactory points	The quickshifter and cruise control are the best. Especially the quickshifter is too easy. I like the fact that it looks like a Falcon at a glance.
Weaknesses and complaints	It is described in the middle of May, but the heat from the engine is quite hot when stopping in traffic though it is nothing when driving. If you ride it in the middle of summer, you might need to take heat measures.
Advice to prospective buyers.	It is very easy to ride, full of electronic controls, and the handling doesn't feel as heavy as the weight of the vehicle, so even a large beginner can handle it.
