XS650 Addict
Hello everyone,
It's been a while since I've relied on all of your infinite knowledge. I recently decided that I wanted a bike that was easier to ride at highway speeds, and something I felt more comfortable riding long distances. Unfortunately, my '75 mild cafe did not seem to fit the bill, so I started browsing Craigslist. Not too long after, I found a street fighter 2006 Ninja ZX6R. I fell in love and not soon after, I bought it (hell of a good deal). I bought it in September and have loved it more and more with each ride. The only stipulation I gave myself is that after buying the Ninja, I needed to list my 650 and get it sold. I figured I'm young and I wanna ride, not spend a lot of time in the garage making it exactly how I wanted. I can do that when I get older and have more time and money to spend on it.
I promise that was my intention.
Well, a couple months have passed by and the thought of owning two motorcycles had kinda sunk in. I can afford to have them both so I figured to hell with it, I'll keep 'Ol Blue. Having the Ninja as my daily rider means that I can spend as much time as I need to on the 650 and not sacrifice riding. I can do a pma swap and make it kick only without sacrificing the convenience of an electric start bike. I can have fun working on it and not feeling pressured to finish so I can get out and ride. I can fully join the community that are the XS650 builders.
Thank you for reading my probably pointless story, and now I ask you all this:
What are your favorite mods? She already has a pamco with a 75,000 volt coil and vm34s with pods (soon to change to the foam uni filters).
I am very excited to begin this adventure, and I hope I can rely on you all for all the help I will inevitably need.

Also who knows, maybe I'll give some love to my Black Beauty as well:
