Those are classics though. Also why do you need 650cc? Isn't 250 enough?

- criddell 5y ago250 probably isn't enough for highways and long distance riding in the US. For example, Texas State Highway 130 has an 85 mph speed limit and traffic typically rolls along at 5-10 mph above that. There isn't a lot of headroom for passing a car going 80 mph on most 250cc bikes. If I were buying a bike today, I don't think I would consider anything that didn't have anti-lock brakes. My last bike was a KLR650 and it was pretty crude. I sold it and gave up on motorcycles because drivers around where I live are too distracted. I rode 35 years accident free and decided to quit before my luck ran out. I do miss it though...
- yurishimo 5y agoAnti-lock brakes are standard on the majority of new bikes now. In Europe I think they are required for all models. I would expect the US to follow suit in the next 5 years.
