BMW F900XR. I did a 4-day (over 2 weekends) learn-to-ride course and it took so much physical and mental coordination that all I thought about on those 2 weekends was motorcycles and slept deep for 10 hours each night. Snapped me out of the usual routine for sure.

Now when I ride, everything is easy, relaxing. On my commute, I only pay attention to riding. No music, radio, or cellphone. The commute allows twice a day to recharge.



You are braver than I am. The F900 is a beast and I did try it at a shop once. But yea, motorcycle riding makes you so much more aware on the road. No distraction and you are literally paying more attention to ensure Cars can actually see you and don't kill you, lol.


I've heard many times from motorcyclists that "it saved my life" because of the mental break. Then from non-motorcyclists, "you're going to die!".
