 Hi,
watching this maillist I see that many of you are riding the 750 AT. I
still have my old 88` AT 650. I4m convinced that it is a very good bike
(especially for my preferred "hunting grounds" in the northern mountain
regions of Austria and South Tirol) but there is one question which
makes me sleepless. Should I sell my "old wife" for a 750 AT (934or
jounger)? Is there anybody out there who did this change and can tell me
(honestly) if the 750 is really better in:
- riding a pass (torque, transmission ratio...)
- riding with girlfriend
- acceleration in general (horsepower and torque isn4t much higher...)
- handling in general (because of the higher weight...)
please help!

take care,
                        -Didi-
