So, sold a bike (the XBR500) and a few other odds & sods..... and decided to fork out for a "modern" machine :shock:

Now I don't really do modern bikes (thats 1990's-on) but this little bike has been on my radar for some time now........ ever since I had a look at Ed's W650 :wink:

This is a 2001 model - the rack, screen, Scottoiler & mirrors will be removed pretty damned quickly then it'll be time to start the "bonding" process :wink:

Nice choice Piglet,

That twin set should slow you down a bit.

Quite liking the look of the 800 version in Green myself.

Anyhow here's a sneak preview of what you will have to do once the rack is off :roll:

Hope you get along well together :wink:

Is that a Bsa twin seat on it ?
The beast must have some power.....The front end is up even when its on the stand.

I think you are a closet XS 650 fan???

You love them really. Go on admit it.

AND owning one (or TWO) means that you do NOT need to pay 3 million pounds for a 100 pounds exhaust, you actually get TWO lovely silencers for LESS than 100 notes!!!!

Sent with love XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX :vstoopid

It's OK - Taffus only bottled it & rode a new TRIUMPH to the German Z Rally :!:

I had an XS650B back in the early 80's - wasn't overly keen on it then - but at 18yrs old SPEED & BHP were king..... I really like them now I'm quote: "old & past it"! :wink:
