1st Yamaha Virago 125 – was a nice comfortable part and very reliable. Only what the durability was, so had, despite regular inspection etc, the engine after about 68,000 km only the compression, like a bursted balloon. (was new vehicle). 2. Honda Rebel – used with about 5,000 km on the clock. Was also a reliable vehicle, also convenient and start mi almost 70,000 km on the clock. in the Mercedes (he had not noticed stop sign and I had not done anything further – but Möp was gone). It was done on the nothing except oil and air filter, as well as chain set changes – not even inspection or anything. Just, as I now notice on the 3rd machine, was a Honda. They just do what they were built for. 3. Jetzige machine Honda Varadero. Is the absolute madness – reliable like an old deutz, maintenance as with the Rebel and runs and runs… with meanwhile about 77,000 km better than with the approx. 12,000, where I bought them used. Oil consumption to approx. 7,000 KM quasi 0. Now next year is TÜV and I guess that due to the mileage and age some costs will come to me. Brake caliper front, possibly swing and steering head bearings, tires – already alone because of the age of approx. 5 years (would I exchange anyway). The vehicles were not pure fun vehicles but commercial vehicles and brought me always the summer about at daily about 80Km reliable to work. Now the question arises for me – am not the youngest anymore (62), whether I should switch to a scooter. If the TÜV divides us, is after all in the normal light power market for motorcycles what in the mentioned kind to get no more – sometimes from Chinese etc. apart – but something like that does not come into my house. If, then there is either Honda or Yamaha – even if the are more expensive – but to me quality and reliability before price. In the case of the mentioned brands, for example, 125 motorcycles, is either quite small or rather a racing machine for 16 – 18 year olds – for the customer group certainly OK but not really for me. I have already looked around a little on the net – and as a commercial vehicle the Honda Forza would probably be considered – also because the test reports say that it should be reliable, economical, smooth and comfortable. It is also important for me to have a good light, what it should have (LED), because age-related the Have you ever experienced something like this before? I guess next year I’ll have the Forza test and see if that fits. An old used Varadero or Shadow would be an alternative but they are all very old and I would have the same problems as the current Vara relatively quickly. If the TÜV should not divorce us, it will of course continue to drive – the same mileage will pack the certainly still one time. As I said – for me – regardless of the price only something solid reliable in question. The text has now become a little longer but I think you can see what is important to me.
