Title: Nice 700i article from 3 yrs ago
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on April 13, 2016, 10:45:41 PM
This is an interesting read about the 700i - I did not know it was sold in Europe some 8 years ago!
And to think we've seen these monsters selling for $5400 new.

Didn't realize it was that early but I knew they had sold them in other markets before the US. I've also seen a few other colors offered elsewhere but not here. They range from a couple of blues, white, silver, gray, black, and a gold color. Why do other markets get nice colors and we get stuck with white? A few dealers have been blowing them out at $4999.00 plus tax/fees/etc. That's why I bought one.  ;D

Yup. Already building a list of modifications I want to do besides the seat and some kind of fairing mounted mirrors. As soon as I get to my first service I'll do some kind f photo/write-up on it. It's a bit funny that the MyRoad and Burgman 650 share tire sizes and spark plug part numbers.
