[quote author=Mick-H link=topic=23141.msg266788#msg266788 date=1503701901]

• NC750
  
• CB500X
  
• Transalp
  
• Triumph Bonneville
  
• Yamaha MT-07
  
• Yamaha TDM
  

Taking in info in the op -

• seat way too high, and pain in the arse to service due to interlocking/connected plastics.
  
• while a nice little bike, absolutlyu no puff at all.
  
• too big and heavly and seat hieght an issue
  
• Looks nice, low down grunt, no top end, low seat, heavy but weight lower down.
  
• Nice bike, but no power or torque (74bhp/46ft-lb), seat height lower than FZS1000 @805mm
  
• The last model made in 2002 had more power & torque than the the MT-07 @ 87BHP & 66 ft-lb and even lower seat height @795mm, but its heavier at wet-220kgs
  

The 2003/2004 FZS600 (carbed) is mostly better than all of the above -

• seat height 790mm
  
• power/torque - 95/42 - more power but less torque
  
• weight dry/wet 189/202kgs
  
• lots of spares and still able to come to this forum.
  

less power more toque Suzuki SV650
