Cheapr to run? or buy?
Buy yes agree with you 100% .
To run well that is arguable. I have had better MPG on the Kwak than the SV at times. can get almost 200 miles if i ride sensibly on the Kwak.
Consumables are more expensive like tyres , and yes it will go through them quicker. However servicing costs are almost identical.
Insurance that is a bit of a dodgy argument, as it depends on your circumstances person to person. but i found getting the Kwak it only went up £100 a year fully comp. not bad for a jump of 5 insurance groups.
As for town ridng, i have never found the Kwak a drama, no need to leave 1st. but that said it gets very hot very quickly in town.
