Don't like the Motus's header pipes. Panniers need improvement too.

 

Kev, why do you like the vara? Personally, the weight puts me off, and the weight is carried high up too. The new Crossrunner has quite good reviews, VFR engine is reliable though abit drink petrol...but then vara not much better in that aspect haha.

Kev likes everything Honda..

 

told him before that this "Royalty" or "boundary" wont get him anywhere near a good bike...

 

Super Tenere is much better in every aspect to Varadero.. or even new Cross Tourer.

Actually, I think it's the opposite. They could learn from guzzi how to style a transverse v-engine's headers properly...

my POV,

 

Honda - bulletproof engine, but minor problems here and there like coil or rectifier and ECU

Suzuki - Peace of mind bike, nothing to worry only till the point u crash, hope the frame dont split into 2

Piaggio - make sure u got 4 digits cash value in ur wallet everytime

 

so far this 3 brands...left 2 more japs to tackle...ZX14....woohoo or C14...somehow or rather really looking hard at touring bike again...its the time to daydream again....ZZZZzzzzZZZZzzzz

Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you'll be able to see farther.
