XS650 Enthusiast
I ran a quick search and didn't find what I was looking for, so I'm going to ask it here-
To the guys who have logged enough time in the seat of both a xs650 and a sr500 to really know, which do you think is the better bike?
I've ridden quite a few bikes- a couple of 90's 600cc sport bikes, a cb400f, a few xs650's, a gs550, a cb500, etc., and my favorites have always been the xs'. I love them.
And now mine is more or less exactly where I want it. I have another one in the garage that needs some work and I was going to give it a proper cafe treatment. But I figure one running xs650 is plenty enough for me and I oughtta get something else. I can't get the fantasy of a sr500 out of my head, but I don't want to be dissapointed.
Does the sr500 live up to its legend? Help me out here.
