In a zombie apocalypse which bike would you choose?

[ThumperJordan]

If the walking dead happened...and you could only have one __completely stock bike___in your garage to escape...which one would it be?

I'd consider range and lightweight an important feature. That way, I could pick it up before I became lunch. So for me, I dunno a KLR maybe?

Probably something like an XR400 Honda.  Rock solid dependable, simple air cooled, no premix, powerful enough to handle most situations, but light enough for practicality.

Good call, but a stock xr400 has a small tank. So, you won't get far before you need to stop for fuel.

So less than a hundred miles later, you might have to stop when there's a herd around..then you're toast.

The simple addition of a desert tank and you are good to go.

Gotta be completely stock. You don't have aftermarket anything.

Whatever I could find with the best fuel efficiency! Wouldn't need to be super fast but fuel would be scarce and roads would be a viable option so I could avoid most of the gnarly stuff. 

 

You could steal a tank off of anything and rig it up to work. Simple enough. I would probably scrape together supplies to rig up a secondary tank.

Whatever one was closest to the biggest supply of parts. Sounds like a few people started catching up on season 4...including myself

The addition of electric start would be helpful for those "herd inside the perimeter" type situations.

Just as long as it isn't something with only e start and no kicker.

This seems rather impractical, as most people immediately put aftermarket parts of their bikes the moment it is unloaded into the garage.  

Just as long as it isn't something with only e start and no kicker.

 Agreed.

[ThumperJordan]

Yes...but you just bought a good low mileage all stock bike off craigslist the night before....then the next morning at dawn all hell breaks loose. So, there wasn't time to modify anything.

Good one: E-Start and kicker a must! I forgot about that. If the battery dies then you die too.

Can a flame-thrower be ridden? If so, that's my pick. 2nd choice: XR 400. Stock tank is fine...lots of plastic containers lying about, to hold extra fuel.

[ThumperJordan]

Ya...xr400r is a,good choice...it's kicker only...so you better be sure you have that dialed.

The one in my garage with fuel in it. Currently an XR650L

KLX 650! -----------------Not to be confused with the KLR 650.

Drz400

H2R

With the exception of log hopping and difficult hill climbs the KLR can go anywhere just fine. The addtl fuel capacity would be very handy when trying to determine locations of fuel caches. Without other cars to worry about its lackluster acceleration and brakes no longer matter.

If the xr4 had a button I'd choose it or the xr6 but the KLR is more comfortable when running for your life.

[ThumperJordan]

There will be other cars to worry about...stalled on highways,traffic jams, herds of dead in the road.

You will most likely have to go through a roadside ditch or two.

The H2r....no way would I want that.
