Worth it?

Going to look at it tomorrow. The scratches he mentions he has sent me and I don't care about em. Does anyone know what to look for on these things?

At the end of the day its what its worth to you. The 650s are great and do go for quite a lot of money. If I was looking for one id go and look at it, if the scratches dont bother you.

Looks pretty sweet. Didn't know they did a 650 but I've always fancied a Triumph.

yes it's worth it, that engine is a gooden..., gearbox is a little "chunky" but don't let that put you off, my only concern with them is the seat tends to push you into the tank a little, but that's more personal preference than anything else.

Mark's right on this.

I fitted stompgrip to my tank to help stop me sliding forward all the time.

Righty ho then. Thanks guys! Was thinking one of these or a 675. But I've also realised I can get away with a daytona 650 and keep the Sv!
