I'm over 200lbs and cary loaded saddle bags. I'd suggest an xs 650, look into sprocket changes cause they can use a higher gear on cruise, I have a 30t rear and still have no problem taking off or on hills. I ride some steep inclines in the country of upstate Ny. I believe my 1980 came with a 34t rear. The front can also be brought up from 17-18 which will also lower revs. I'm okay right now with the smaller rear.
Thank You Joe
I'm about 176lbs myself and I think I can persuade my old lady to ride with me. Will the xs carry 2?
Your thoughts would be highly regarded.
Best wishes
Fred
