Thou is much much better than the 650 in every way. I've had both. Anyone who recons it's too lumbering needs to learn how to corner correctly. Oh and take the steering damper off.

Had my thou for 12 years. Loved it. The only reason I got rid was I needed something with better luggage and pillion provision so got myself a multistrada which is a whole different kettle of ball games although I'm sure Othen can get one of those for a tenner too.

Most 650 riders have never actually ridden a Thou in anger so use their google-fu as the basis of unfounded fact.
