Sooo, I'm back!

Hi Andy, I was considering a 650 Versys as my next bike when I'd saved enough. Did you not like yours.

Hey Vinny,


Loved the bike. It really is very versatile! 2 very enjoyable tours under the belt and about 30,000km in total. Great torquey motor, comfortable, 300km out of a tank easy and lots of luggage options. It was the right choice after my FZS600. Loads more torque down low but with a redline at about 12000rpm still lively enough to stretch it's legs right out and enjoy its surprisingly nimble handling.


  Now I'm just a bit tired of the buzz and the buffety screen that despite many different brands just always seemed to be noisier than no screen at all.  Ultimately i also no longer commute on the bike so it doesnt need to be so practical. As an every day bike the versys is fantastic. But now i want something that's a bit more hooligan, a bit more pure biking and that gets my pulse racing a bit more.


For the money, the FZ1N was head and shoulders the best choice for my step up to litre bikes. Whether or not im right will become clear in good time!
