well I've had most of the bikes that your thinking about buying apart from the triumph . first the BMW,s , had the 800s - had trouble , then 800st very nice bike, came back from italy in a day on it with excellent mpg ..but again had trouble , the last one was a new 800gs & had major trouble at only 600mls ...will never have a BMW again, made of chocolate ... kawasaki versys , now your talking a great bike had 2, one second hand one new .. excellent on fuel 70+mpg , very reliable, never had a thing go wrong . a bit more vibration than the wee & a bit harder ride that the wee , but handles better , brakes OK ..but not good for pillion , the wife hated it on the back . said it was the worst bike she,s been on, were as she thinks the wee is lovely on the back...the versys and the wee are about the same price [ with Suzuki,s £650 cash back ] give or take a few pounds but I think the wee is a better buy . but then again the finish on the kawasaki is definetly better... I tested the new Honda nc700x last wk . handled good braked well , great finish..but [ and it is a big but ] I would advice anyone buying to definetly have a test ride co,s its gutless .. 218kgs & 47bhp don't make for excitment . the rev limiter comes in at 6,400rpm & there's nothing below 2,000 rpm so you only have 4,400rpm to play with . I found I was opening the throttle and waiting for something to happen , not good when overtaking ..but at £5,850 its cheap ..
