:imaposer: Its easy when others want advice, but not when you have to make the choice. Ideal would be a 650 TA or V-Strom, but what's available is out of the budget of R30k.
For now its been narrowed down to two choices... TA 400 and KLE 500. The TA will be an older model, but assume for now they are both equally good mechanically. The criteria is:
1. Maintenance cost
2. Commute open road about 80km per day, cruising 120- 130km/h
3. Economy of use
4. To be abused and not properly looked after by my 23 year old son.
My choice is the TA. What's yours ?
