I have a problem, a very big problem, and one that I cannot solve alone. So calling all who might be able to help.........................HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As you might all know I have been revamping my Trophy, and all is done, and looking very good, even if I do say so myself. It rides well, and appears to be comfortable.
However, I also have a Honda CBR600FVwhich I have been revamping ready for my impending trip to Europe in June. As a lot of you are probably aware, the Triumph it is a much heavier bike, and top heavy to boot.
Just recently I have been suffering with aching joints on the CBR, a lot is down to old age, and so I have my concerns about covering long distances in one day. The CBR is much more fun to ride, has better brakes and is more focused on the bends. On the other hand the Triumph is more a tuned to touring, and has the secure luggage, and appears (Not done any long miles yet) more comfortable than the Honda.
Due to unforseen circumstances, I have eaten heavily into the holiday fund for Europe, so one of them has to go to pay for it. But I don't know which one.
I've tried to be logical about the decision, but failed so far, so would appreciate anyone else's thoughts on the matter. They both have their strengths and weaknesses.
I did have one idea. As I have a Transit, I could take both bikes in the back of the van to Europe, ride each of them every day and then decide which one to sell upon my return.
