[QUOTE="buffalo_soldier, post: 7599319, member: 1987"] I've swapped a Honda 500 for a Yam 700 this time. I was initially comparing between a Honda 520, which is the new model and the Yam 450. Very similar bikes. A thing then happened left me needing to swap at short notice. Honda had a massive lead time for any bike. Yamaha had a fair lead as well but the dealer put the effort in and found me a 700. The 700 is a big bike obviously 😁. Fuel wise I'm probably getting 15ish clock hours out of a Jerry can. It's my first auto bike, auto is excellent. Hi-Lo range covers all your bases. It is fast. Suspension and therefore ride is better. As is braking. Reliability is unknown as I'm only about 60hrs in. Spec wise I always take the wide tyre option on bikes, stability improves so much. Again better than the Honda I think. That's all I can think of off the top of me head. [/QUOTE]
