W650

[Taffus]

Harleys? 650 twins? shit it'll be dentures and incontinence pants next.......

Nothing wrong with a "650 twin"!!!

I love my XS650's MORE than my Zeds!!!!

from your posts I doubt if you can keep your shit in...
And your yams ...well feck off to the world wide meeting of owners..coming to a phone box near you

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"!

The triumph was my only option to go as my GPz was in pieces and I had no time to build it up again.
Or I could have really bottled it and stayed in OAP's hostel with you!

So I spent a bit of time taking off the rack, screen & Scottoiler (for sale) and gave it a quick wipe over..... looks a bit better..... just some flatter bars needed now.....







Also took the Smog Emission crap off load of old pants

Looks nice Mark

Cheers Ian - she does clean up well

These little bikes are real nice - they have a reasonable bit of "low end" grunt and those std pea-shooters actually sound OK, if a bit quiet.

For some reason Kawasaki decided to fit 1" Fat Bar's to these bikes - which makes it a bit less straight forward to swap bars Can't see meself forking out over £250 for a low-bar kit ... even if that does include shorter cables, etc.

Looks like a nice bike Mark. I prefer the higher bars, I think they look right.

[Mark Tiller]

Harleys are 1" bars i think

I have started looking around for another V max. Here is my Vmax sold around 3 years ago.

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





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

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

Why is this in "The Bottom Shed".

[Pigford]

Why is this in "The Bottom Shed".

Coz it ain't a Zed

Must admit it was Ed's "W" that got me interested in these bikes These modern rides are just so sweet & easy for an old fella

Adrian, A motorcycle mechanic friend of mine is selling his personal "full power" VMax, if you are interested.
