Just to say thanks for all the help in giving me ideas on new bigger bike. After test riding the 650 Dragstar, I was amazed at how much better it is to handle than the 250.

So I have ordered the 650 and will be on the road on it at end of month.

No more leaving me behind now technobear.

Well done Viv. There's no substitute for cubes.

So size does matter afterall???

Oh yeah it matters!!!!!

well done viv not my cup of tea but i'm sure you will have fun

Nice choice, congrats!

Which one did you go for, the XVS650 or the XVS650A? (Which has the deeper fenders etc). I've ridden both and was very impressed, so much so that I almost got a XVS650A when I was looking to change from sportsbike to cruiser, but the dealer concerned would not take my RF900 in p/x.

The 650 definitely has the looks of a much larger machine IMHO.

I second that.

It would appear to look like this:



Bet you can't wait viv!

Yay! Congratulations, look forward to seeing it sometime when you've got it!

Well done Viv

Why is it that the older I get the less unattractive these cruisers seem to get??
Looks good Viv - I hope it's in black tho'!

Thanks guys for all your comments. yeah it's black, and its theXVS650A Classic, should be delivered to fowlers next week so hope to be on road by next weekend with it.
