I have bee looking at getting a bike ( 5' 7" tall, 70 yo. ) and I was only looking at Triumph t100's until I saw a v7II Special at a dealer. I loved the looks and it seemed to fit me better than the triumph and seemd like a better bike for just tooling around on country lanes. But I don't know if it is.
I can't afford the new Special but I am seeing 2013 and 2014 v7's I can afford.
( is there a difference between the v7 in those years? )
One big hesitation is from quite a few people complaining that the v7 burns oil, things work loose, electrical problems and that it is hard to get parts and takes a long time to get the parts.
I have heard no complaints about the Triumph.
As a beginner I would truly appreciate any help, advice, recommendations this forum could make.
Thanks.
