A mate bought a W650 a couple of years ago and I picked it up for him and rode it back to my place before trailering it down to him in the south of France. Looks and sounds like a Bonnie but starts first time every time, doesn't leak oil and just does everything you expect of it. However riding it was a different matter. Now maybe I've been spoilt by owning faired bikes but I had to stop every 40 mles or so on the way back to put my shoulders back into their sockets. Sitting bolt upright, you are the air brake.
