I was just curious about something. I know my XS is 35 years old, leaks oil and aint real pretty. However, it starts each and every time, gets fair gas mileage ( about 50 -51 ) and seems rock steady and dependable. Ran it all over the place, into several states and back and forth to work. Why is it that everyone who I know, who has an XS650 always seem to need a newer bike " for longer trips " as a friend explained it to me. He says I'm stoopid for using my XS as an interstate tourer, commuter and just get out outa the house bike. I sold the other bikes, never rode them.
AM I stupid for not being 10 or 15 thousand in debt for a newer bike, when this bike does what I want and need ????
Thanks for any input
