Motorcycling can be an expensive hobby, but the thrill, freedom, and sense of adventure it brings make it all worth it.

I AM NOT AN INFLUENCER—just a regular motorcycle enthusiast like you. What I share with you are my honest opinions and experiences, just as if we were chatting as friends on the street.

Remember, these are my personal experiences and thoughts, and they might differ from yours. Always make your conclusions and buy what you truly need or like.

There’s always something you could upgrade—new exhaust, fancier parts, better-looking gear. But trust me, you don’t need any of that to enjoy the ride and have a good time.

The basics for me would always be a first aid kit, tools for your motorcycle, a lighter, and a tire repair kit.

Here are the aftermarket parts I have on my Yamaha XSR 700 and the Moto equipment I use.
