Man the Weather sucked today, but i had a great time!
I think it listed as 71 BHP. Man even in 3rd Gear when id twist the throttle... she'd TAKE OFF!
(vs my 250R) It was funny to try and take off Fast once i got back on my Nate and we headed back home for the day! :heh:

Now its not like i was on a Haybusa, but man what a Difference! This was the only other motorcycle ive ridden besides the honda 125cc (MSF class) & my Ninja 250R! :thumbup:

I loved the heated handgrips! :thumbup:
It was darn comfy, body postion, etc all in all i really liked!
I just didnt like the way the Mirrors were, id mod them further up front and outward a tad if possible!


*Crap, the Pics of me on it i Cant Use* Invalid File!

Ill update em' asap!

But here are 2 pics i took of the BMW F650GS, that i demo rode!

BMW makes some fine motorcycles.

The new 650 is a slick setup. Since it's now using the detuned F800 motor, it's much smoother and more evenly-powered than its thumper predecessor.

If you want some real grins, ride the F800ST. It's a hoot.

I rented a '95 in Australia back when they first came out. I spent four weeks doing a 6,000 mile loop around eastern Aus. Great bike!
