Depreciation, and generally iffy duild quality on the 850s.

I've never rated the 850, despite what Wessie says. Insubstantial and
with a feel like a big Honda Super Dream circa 1979. The 900 might be a
better bike: I've never ridden one.

They're easier to find, used, than the Transalp.

Were it my choice, I wouldn't buy either: my money would go to Triumph
for a Tiger, but of these two, I think I'd prefer the Transalp.
