Default Re: The all new 650F

It has the same headlight as the K5/6 gixer thou. I had one on demo when my MT was in the workshop as a loan bike. It's actually pretty good dare I say it. OK it's a tad heavy compared to the SV but goes, stops and handles pretty well. It's comfortrable as well. A good all rounder.

I'm not struck on the style that much, the black exhaust headers look a tad cheap and could prove a problem to keep clean. Also compared to the Bandit S it does not have the optionof ABS or main stand (neither is arguabley a big deal).

Not my cup of tea, better than the SV? well that depends on what your'e going to be using it for. The SV(s) is more nimble, lighter but less rounded. Maybe it just needs a little more unique character instead of borrowing it from other bikes. Bit of a heinz 57.
