Looks like an old scrambler. Friggin' awesome. I love it. I know it's a twin, but it looks like a real "sporting single" to me. CA Stu A13 Riverside CA -----Original Message-----

OOOPS. I didn't mean to say it was a bad bike. It actually looks very well built. And that one is definately a much more appealing version to me than the black and chrome one I linked to. Just not my thing I guess. Brad > > Hey now! It's not a bad bike. Checkk out this variation. > > http://www.motorcyclenews.com/content/images/News/news_storiesimages/01707971.jpg > > Gino

And bear in mind that they get the C-series 650 which is conceptually closer to the KLR600 than the A-series 650. [...]

Retro Brit-styled parallel twin intended to be mistaken for an old Trumpy or somesuch. Mechanically, it has the distinction of using a bevel drive to the overhead cam gear. I imagine it would make a good basis for a traditional cafe racer styling exercise. Mister_T Melbourne Australia

It handles gravel better than my KLR does. I'm planning on mounting a trails type tire as sson as my stockers are worn out. Very, very neat bike to ride. Gino

An additional thought for those of you discussing GPS, and Garmin in particular. Garmin has just introduced the Garmin V as a follow-on to the III+. Information and likely the best price on the net can be seen at: http://tvnav.com/gps5.html Cheers Tandy Bozeman Lake Almanor CA [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
