Seems many on this forum do from the constantly reoccurring assertion that the 750/850 are better.Who craves that answer? Like really.
How long will it take for a 750/850 to destroy it's ignition contact points? How often will it need tappet adjustments? Oil leaks anyone? Loose headers clamps? Poor shifting because the primary chain need adjustment? On and on.....
Of course I'm referring to a stock from-the-factory 750/850. Not one that has had its owner lavish countless hours on it, repairing it, and installing later designed solutions to poorly engineered components, or parts manufactured from better materials.
I think from a design, and engineering perspective, the 961 is clearly the better machine. However, thanks to SG, even a sound design which is not developed properly before its introduction can fall flat on its face.
That is unfortunately, the 961's epitaph.
