Hi

Been a bit of a lurker for ages..........

I am trying to draw a comparison between these 2  bikes.

I will possibly be in the market for a  change in bike.

I would like something that can handle the daily (±8km each way) commute, can be used Offroad to explore and the occasional jaunt around the Peninsula. In my spare time I would rather be Off the Road than on it !

I will also be carrying a Pax (Mrs Cota 350 - somewhat less pear shaped than me) when doing the Peninsula Runs. I would also like to teach her to ride it.

I use an old TDM 850 twin Yammy at the moment - a rather tired 92 version which is showing its age - too much of a heavy beast for off the road (or I am too old).

Any suggestions or ideas?

I have been riding most of my adult life - a  lot of it has on small 250 foot ups bikes
