The only thing I will add, in the HD's defense, is that the weight is on a bike with a low seat height. So it should not be compared to something similar in weight, but with that weight up high, like say the aforementioned 800GS. That being said, a 10yr old, relatively low mileage 800GS would be close to that R75k and I would rather take the newer bike. The other thing I can say is bigger is not always better, yes I loved my TL1000R but given the choice I would go for something smaller, like a 650cc. The power is addictive and you may get bored but you are more likely to extract the performance out of a 600cc, than a 1000cc. So why pay so much more for a bike that you can only utilize 50% of it's potential?
