OzMGV7/9
Just got it firing!
Thanks for admission. I am looking at moving from my high tech Honda 800 to a retro twin, and so joining MG owners club.
My bike is my daily so an important decision. I cant decide on a used V7II 750 with bigger tank and taco or used V9 850 with bigger motor, forward pegs & slightly longer.
I have ridden a v7 and had clutch issue -difficult to find N (poss thrust washer issue). It had a pretty severe vibration though pegs until I found the sweet rev range. That may be normal.
A used V9 test drive involves a big day or overnight trip. So trying to weigh up options before I commit to burning a day on test drive only to learn its not going to work as my main mode of transport.
I also need to fit a top box for shopping (it is my main transport). I’m not sure if V7 or V9 is better for this. My daily drive involves both HW speed and low speed filtering through peak hour traffic.
So any feedback on these models would be appreciated. thanks.
