Nothing in it, both share the same problems: overpriced and completely irrelevant.
They may be little in it, but since I suspect that I will end up owning one of them at some point, irrelevance is a personal judgement....

The UK scooter market.
You know recession, fuel prices, economic crisis etc.

What do you think is going to swing it for you?
If they did a baby version of the 650 GT I might be tempted

Very similar looking scoots.... but, bmw have had very real quality/longevity issues with their F and G series bikes, I would be wary. Jap scoots however are robust. I know where my money would go.

True - I was just reading in MCN about their long term GS Sertao....exhaust broken in half, won't start, bits rusting after 2 months... and as for the litany of electronic glitches in the K1600......
