Choices?
Andy, for various reasons I am looking for another bike. I have narrowed my choices down to 3 so far but have no experience with any of them as yet. The 3 are Moto Guzzi v7 11 Stone, Triumph T100, Kawasaki W800. I know you have had at least 2 of these 3 and maybe all of them. How do they compare for ease of maintenance, durability and cost of servicing?
Costwise and size wise they seem to be pretty much of a muchness as my comparison chart shows but figures do not always give you the real story?
Triumph T100 Kawasaki 800 Moto Guzzi V711 Transalp 650 V5
Price 7799 6899 7134 n/a already own one
weight 230 217 189 220
seat height 775mm 30.5in 790mm 30.75in 790mm 31.75 in 843mm 33.25in
MPG 48 52 60 46
top end 110 110 115 112
Not sure how this chart will view but hope it makes sense. I need a low seat height for the pillion!
