Extremely high expandability and compatibility (*’\u25bd’) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of parts available, so just thinking about it is fun?
Maybe… the thinking part is the most fun? <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The model doesn’t really matter. But choose one with abundant compatibility. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s better if there are plenty of aftermarket parts, but…
If you’re just selecting those, you end up with nothing but different colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than just an oil-cooled engine, Suzuki is a manufacturer with exceptional compatibility.
When you gaze through the parts list… you find surprising discoveries!
That’s the fun of using interchangeable parts, isn’t it?
OEM compatibility and expandability are extremely important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to make it faster? (*^-^*) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The good thing about the Inazuma 1200 is that everything seems to have its output restricted.
To put it positively, it’s “nothing but room to grow.”
To put it negatively, it’s “money and effort are endless.”

But since it’s a fairly well-balanced model, it’s a bike you can ride for a very long time, don’t you think?
With just a carburettor and cam, 120-130 PS should be easy… or maybe a bit more? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long maintenance intervals <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I don’t like bikes that need maintenance that frequently.
Because it’s a hassle…
Even if I can do it myself, it’s a hassle, and for customers it means money and time are endless.
If the stock carburettor can be used with the air cleaner box attached, you can get 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers out of the carburettor.
With forced induction, that’s not the case.

Sharp cutting performance is nice, but my ideal is a bike you can ride for a long time with a “laid-back” decent amount of potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep accidents and crashes in mind <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nobody wants to crash or have an accident.
If the finish becomes too special, even a minor crash becomes a major undertaking to restore.
The point is, you stop being able to ride casually.
A one-of-a-kind finish is nice, but if you don’t think it through carefully, you can’t recover, and often nobody can help you anywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agonizing over a single sticker (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A bit old? Or pretty old… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s an era where you wouldn’t be surprised to hear the sticker was born before you were.
But with the internet being a copy paradise, so to speak, we can now patrol the world, and you can almost make stickers individually.
On Mercari and such, you see things like “Hmm? What is this sticker?”
and you can buy them anonymously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For better or worse, it’s a good time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Choosing gear is fun too (*’\u25bd’) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are various types of gear available.
Even if it says “motorcycle-specific!” … what should I buy?
Cheap, light, and safe?

It’s also fun to choose something that looks good whether you’re riding, getting off, or walking.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Choosing where to go is fun <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scenery, huge portions, anything works.
Being able to get where you want to go in roughly the time you expect might be the real advantage of a motorcycle.

In the end, is the fun in the thinking? Do I want to spend my life thinking? I wonder.
An item for escaping reality… maybe also an item for stress relief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well then! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
