3 of my favourite bikes from god knows how many bikes over the years

That 702 is 35kgs heavier than the Kove and makes 20hp less - assuming the Kove numbers are right of course! Agree and that's going to be the Kove's USP but if it ends up being £2000 to £2500 more expensive then it might be an issue ... if they get the price right though then two great options in t...

I think the Benelli 720x at £6899 OTR is great value ... available in Sept .... I had the TRK520x and it was lovely but a bit underpowered, this looks like it might close that issue.

I have always had god knows how many bikes over many years ... sometimes I have swapped after just a few weeks (I might be about to do so again :lol: ) ... whilst its often financially barmy ... I just love trying different bikes, I love most bikes ... I have gone from a ZZR14 to a C90 because I saw...

Just a little bimble around Worcestershire and back through Malvern

Within reason weight for a bike used purely on the road is less important than the balance of the bike. It’s a different matter for a trail bike as you may well need to pick it up on difficult terrain. My most versatile bike is a 1989 BMW R100GS which I’ve owned from nearly new (ex demo, I think). ...

This thread is a really interesting one ... as someone who has been through way too many bikes and lost tons of money doing it as well :D A big enough budget and a big enough garage and there is no problem as all needs would be catered for I guess? Having had large capacity bikes since I was 17 yrs ...

Ohh dear....you've sold your sole to the devil....a sheep skin and remoulded seat would of sorted the xt660z...but your choice....a tdm900 would of been a better buy..... :lol: bit ott ... not sure how I have 'sold my sole to the devil'? or what that even means? ... however, yep the point about the...

Cheers for the replies. Minkyhead ... thats a pretty good summary, I reckon that you need to accept that you will take a punt if selling on and its not like the XT660z which hold up well on value. I accept that ... my 2009 XT sold in around 45 mins of going on a well known aution site but it was pri...
