TeHe Sled, right on. I went to my dealer on the weekend and got me a Yamaha FJR1300 (2010 model, with clutch though!!). The dealer asked me, which bike is he going to take on? The 650F? I told him, HELL NO!! You'll take on my 2010 VStrom, but NEVER EVER my Suzi!!! Meaning, I don't plan to give her away at all!!
PS: Sorry fellas for being very slim on comms, yet work and Christmas and Family matters been keeping me quite busy!! Hope everybody had a great start in to 2012!!

Have you tried putting reflective tape on the rims ?
Unless that is going to double the horse power that just won't get it I only picked this bike up because it was cheap and only had 2100 miles on it. My last bike was a 09 ZX14 hated to get rid of it but had some money problems at the time.

What was your last bike, wobbly man ? Sounds like a pretty good bike. I have been trying to find a bike that I want to keep for decades but I always seem to get bored.

I'm surprised you purchased that bike at any price. Unless you needed transportation in a bad way. I've been riding a Ducati 848 since Oct 2011. I picked up my GSX650F from the dealer I left it with on consignment. I'd forgotten how beautiful the "Orange" one is . When I rode off, my first thought was "man this thing isn't pulling very hard", but then I was comparing it to the Duc. As I rode, I started to notice the things I loved about it. It's just so damned smooth. Easy to turn. Starts and stops are effortless, and the seating position is very comfy. I took it to a shop that would have a better chance of selling it. But to be honest, I'm hoping it doesn't sell. I'm trying to do the right thing, I really can't afford both (not without some sacrifice) but I know in my heart I'll miss her, and regret the day she sold. Quite the conundrum!
