Finally bit the bullet.

Every long term road test I saw for this bike said that they didn't want to hand it back again.

Good choice

Excellent choice Pat, I'm proud of you. I would have one at the drop of a hat as the reviews are excellent and the 650 version isw much more versatile than the 1000cc version. You can get loads of kit for this bike and it will trail. Lots of people go arounmd the world on these bikes and they have a hell of a reputation. Just get some protection fro the front header and the oil filter at the front of the engine. There are some very good small bash plate cum protectors for these.

(PS Fuel injected , welcome to the 21st Century!)

PS Will you be getting some new Riding gear to suit or will you be getting someone to dress you?

Nothing wrong with a little 'playing room' in the trouser department. Some of us need a bit of space down there.

Yep, chuffed with my choice and you are partly to blame Mr D. Did lots of reading between trying and buying and think I've got it right.

Nice purchase Pat, enjoy.

Nice One Pat !

I think they are a smashing bike.....nicer than the 1000.
