For me the big let down from a touring standpoint would be the complete absence of anything resembling a functioning mudguard at either front or rear.
Utterly hopeless, back of jacket filthy in light rain.
For touring probably better to go with a V-strom, but they're just so damn fugly (imo)
Regarding the 75bhp, its easily enough.
Many moons ago I went from a 75bhp GS850G to a 130bhp ZG1300A1 and as a general all round tourer the GS850G was the better bike.
Horsepower alone does not necessarily a good bike make.  |
Good to know. Would only be 1-up touring anyway.
V Strom type stuff is far too tall for me, and not really to my taste either
Quite right on horsepower, but having previously sold this bike and gone to a cb400 superfour with 53hp and that was a bit lost over distance and I felt the loss. So much so I bought my zzr back a year later. 75 is middle ground... So should be fine. 100 is a lot anyway. You don't really need to go that quick... Plus on a naked, even less enjoyable
