Good Points

Sounds lovely, looks lovely, plenty of power and handles ok too. Does almost 70mpg!!!


Bad Points

Daft old blokes look at it then walk off mumbling something about "flamin' japs" and BSAs.


General Comments

My 2000 model has done 16,000 miles with only one breakdown, caused by a faulty ECU. I can get 8,000 miles from a set of BT45s and it never uses any oil. Braided hoses sort out the naff front brake nicely, and it's kind to chains and batteries too. I use it all year round, the 'old boys' near you will always help you out too. Get on one of these, find a steep hill with walls either side, then ride up it in fifth at 35mph. If the sound you hear doesn't make you drool, don't buy one, stick to your 600 Bandit. My W650 is Lovely!
