Hi,
I had a Yamaha XSR700, which I loved, however it was stolen in November :-(
After a fairly lengthy process I've now had a pay-out and looking to re-buy.
Out of interest I test rode the Scrambler 800 and 1100 and actually prefer their engines and seat position.
However, I keep my bikes outside (have no garage), usually under a rain cover.
I was wondering if anyone else keeps their 800 or 1100 outside (UK ideally) and could let me know if it's manageable, with a bit of care, or not. A few of the design features (e.g. the metal fastening of the brake hose above the speedometer) seem like they would quickly pool water in them and likely rust?
Thank you.
