I beg to differ. I think both bikes (/5 /6 and Ambo/Eldo) have a comerable
reliability and ease of maintenance. I only have two special tools for the
Beemer. A wrench for the exhaust nut and a clutch centering tool. There is
another I want to get the tranny apart and in that aspec, I think the Guzzi
is easier to deal with. Getting the tranny apart I mean. But the clutch is
easier to mess with on the beemer and ther tranny comes out easier. It's
just trade offs. Aint one better than the other, just slightly different. I
personally like them both.
| Hey Paul, Some years ago, I picked up an R50/5, and then an R90/6, both becasue they were cheap. I hated them both, the R90 most of all. The "technology" of the R90 - CV carbs, "improved" ignition, etc., made it a pain in the ass, and the seat put the pain in my ass. It was the most uncomfortable bike I ever owned. They both leaked constantly, and both the needles fell off of the instruments on the R90. Every maintenance procedure is difficult, and every procedure needs special tools. |
