Hi everyone,
I'm looking at buying a "new toy" after having owned about a dozen motorcycles over the last 30 years, ranging from a 125cc motorscooter to a 1500cc Honda Goldwing and a lot of stuff in between that. Currently I only have 3... (a 125CC Yamaha YS from 2019, a Kawasaki KZ250A from 1980 caféracer and a 2004 Yamaha Dragstar XVS 650)
The F650 ST looks like a nice "thumper bike" for a short commute and some fun in the weekends, so I'll be taking a 97 model out for a quick spin and test ride tonight.
If it turns out OK, I'll just buy it and see what happens.... I have read very positive reviews and comments so far and can't wait to get on that bike .
If so, pictures and posts (and questions) will surely be posted to follow up on this post.
