I'm a biased 750 fan, in the same way as Nick.
Had mine 7yrs now, and still not hankering after more power ....though I do avoid motorways. Same insurance group as the 600 too, so a little cheaper to run. Also, they're perhaps not so lumpy around town as the bigger motors. They do have a wet clutch, but this is easier to live with and requires less maintenance than the clankers which seem to require constant fettling. Carby models are probably simpler to fettle and not so expensive as injected (ie) models when they go wrong, but they do suffer from terrible carb icing once the autumn sets in. A dose of pro.fst in the fuel sorts this though, but it does put your fuel costs up. Personally, I run a carby 750 alongside a single cyl trailie for commuting and winter use. |
