    Loads of fun, commute, play, enjoy.I tossed up whether I should buy this or a W650 Kwaka. I nearly bought the W650, but in the end I new this bike would get a squirt with the hose every now and again and parked in the corner of the shed till next time.The dirt bike heritage, decent brakes, humongous fork tubes and light weight won out.

    Sachs are one of the oldest motorcycle manufacturers in the world and are German based. In Roadster 650 they have used the tried and tested Suzuki 650 single cylinder engine - a very reliable engine indeed.
    The brakes are by Grimeca.The stunning flowing design is by the Swiss engineer Fritz Egli.
    The bike weighs a tiny 154kilos and is suited for both men and lady riders. Weighing so little it gets off the mark very quickly.

    Its an ideal workhorse and weekend fun bike that will turn the head o ...

    I've found the Sachs Roadster to be a pleasure to ride. Its responsive and the riding position is comfortable. I've had fared bikes and other retro bikes but I'll stick with the Sachs for value for money, economy (50-55mpg) and sheer fun ... I use mine every day 60miles round trip... I love it!

    Overall I am very happy with this bike, a great colour have had a topbox painted the same colour. The headlight was not bright enough, but I have replaced it with a 100 Watt bulb which is great. My husband has a ST1300cc and he likes to play with my bike on the windy roads more than his own. I love that everywhere I go people ask me what kind of bike this is, they have not seen it before. The importer of this bike is easily contacted and follow up inquiries have been dealt with quickly. As motor ...

    50+MPG - cheap insurance, reliable - could look good with a bit of customising (Low bars, rearsets, racing seat - would make a good cafe racer!).

    My Sachs Roadster 650 has 9000 ks, I would like to fit multi purpis tryes and a flyscreen. I am happy with my bike, but not the non-existent backup.

    This bike has a retro look that goes perfectly with the massive 650cc single cylinder, four-stroke engine that comes courtesy of Suzuki. But while the styling is retro, the handling is impressive thanks to Swiss frame guru Fritz Egli, who made his name slotting Vincent Black Shadow engines into his own chassis. The Sachs 650 is marketed as an every day motorcycle, a workhorse that you can use to get to work on and enjoy at weekends.

    Top speed is about 105mph with a maximum torque of 41.3 ft-l ...

    I bought my Sachs Roadster 650 new for £4000. This included the optional centre stand (why only an option?). In 18 months of ownership, fault followed fault. This started on my ride home from the dealer. Most of the bulbs blew. The mileometer also failed to work. Within two days, oil was leaking from the cylinder head bolts. These faults were rectified by the dealer. The mileometer on the new speedo also failed to work. I decided to just ignore this. A few days later, the oil leaks were b ...

    The Sachs Roadster 650 motorcycle is a highly tuned but very reliable Suzuki 650 single wrapped in a Fritz Egli frame, with Paoli forks, Sachs suspension, Grimeca brakes and a lovely Lafranconi exhaust :). This bike is not a plodding CB500 commuter rival the lazy UK press thinks it is. I had to look for info in Europe to see that the French, Italians and Germans really liked this bike, a modern Goldstar? Not the best around town, go find some bends, painfully slow in straight lines and will numb ...
