Bigger Bike

Post by viv »

Just to say thanks for all the help in giving me ideas on new bigger bike. After test riding the 650 Dragstar, I was amazed at how much better it is to handle than the 250.

So I have ordered the 650 and will be on the road on it at end of month. :lol:

No more leaving me behind now technobear.

Nice choice, congrats! :D

Which one did you go for, the XVS650 or the XVS650A? (Which has the deeper fenders etc). I've ridden both and was very impressed, so much so that I almost got a XVS650A when I was looking to change from sportsbike to cruiser, but the dealer concerned would not take my RF900 in p/x.

The 650 definitely has the looks of a much larger machine IMHO.

Why is it that the older I get the less unattractive these cruisers seem to get?? :? :oops:
Looks good Viv - I hope it's in black tho'!
