Another 650r owner

r311music · September 9th, 2011, 02:29 PM

Well I didn't have my two fiddy for long, but after having some carb issues and an expensive repair bill, the dealer worked a deal to get me into a 650r for just a little more than I was paying for the 250. I'll miss my mighty 250, but I'm loving the 650. I have already put 500 miles on it in two weeks! It has more than enough power but still has been very forgiving when I make my newb mistakes.

I plan on remaining fairly active in this forum as it's a great resource for everything to do with riding. Plus one day when I'm making a bit more money, I'll probably rejoin the 250 ranks and get one as a second bike.

here are the pics of the "green monsta"

Thanks! You don't see too many of us around. At least not in my area.

And you bought the correct color...

Nice!

I used to think the 650R was ugly, but the more I see it, whether in pics or in person, the more I love it.

I was the same way. But after seeing it a dealer a few times in person, it really grew on me. I still think the 250 looks better, but I really like how the 650 performs.

What, I see 'em all the time.

Now, try spotting the elusive ER-6n...

You gonna come out to a group ride some time? There's another Harley one in a month or so?

I'm hoping to. I've met up with a few members at the SNS meets on thursdays. Now that I'm more comfortable riding, I'll try to go for a group ride. I usually work weekends as I work for an airline, but I can always try to get that day off.

As for the naked version, I have yet to see one ha. I have only seen one other 650r though. I see more 250's and zx6r's in the employee parking lot. Lately I have been surrounded by two zx6r's. I love the look of that bike, but I know I'm nowhere near ready for that.
