I had a question in the Ride thread about having an XS650 as my only ride..it was not a rhetorical question..i really would like to hear from you all and your opinions. I have owned many modern bikes. i have friends who think i should have a Concours C14 or a FJR1300 or eveen..having another bandit 1250 that was my last ride...Wrecked last Oct..So here we are..I only get to own One bike...If it is an XS650 it will be a running bike close to turnkey as i can find ...
I have to point out that i am not patient or mechanically inclined beyond simple maintnence issues.. I will have to seek out help in any real mechanical work.but i think i can find some local friends who are certainly capable. the big attraction to a bike like a Bandit 1250 is that it needs only gas tires and oil..for someone like me that is ideal..
For me to choose an old school classic bike (which I love) as my only ride will be a drastic change and departure from what i had been doing since 1990..riding modern bikes..Appreciate all your thoughts and points of view..lets have it...
