Certainly interesting and could be a serious all weather commuter regardless of marketing hype - and a 750 as well

Is it OK to secretly admit that you like it? Wonder what the FA stands for?

[James Deuce]

FA=Fuck All to do with being a desirable motorcycle. Same as a Suzuki TNAB GSF1250FA

[TheDemonLord]

I like it as a concept, but not sure how I would like it in reality riding it.....

Or maybe "Fast As"? (from a GSF1250S rider .. I love my bike ... I found it so desirable I bought one ...)

[Oakie]

I like the header pipes. Reminiscent of the good old Honda CB400 of 30+ years ago

That's good, but I am allowed an opinion and I've NEVER liked Bandits of any descrition.

That's the second youtube vid I've seen where the lens seems to randomly and constantly change aperture or focus or fisheye or some such fucking sorcery. If I want the video to look like I'm on drugs I'll fucking do some!

I like that CB650 and would rate it as a possibilty as I trade down to something more suited to my advancing decrepitude. Provided though that it cost $12,000, not $14,000.

Post production stabilisation to reduce camera shake.


The video linked is a different topic to the article though innit?

Yup sorry but 14K it is ABS standard...................shitloads of fun to ride, must get one on t' backroads when it stops pissing down on my days off:angry:

[blackdog]

Didn't they learn with the DS-01?

Or is this more a real bike in scoots clothing rather than the other way round.

Either way it's hideous, and I imagine the only people to buy them will be doing so to replace their aging Skywaves.

Of course you are - just as I'm allowed to disagree with you ...

What have you got against bandits (of any description? )

And I find Buell's interesting - but hardly desirable ...

When you upload to YouTube they have a video smoothness option to reduce camera shake. The uploader here has selected it. It ruins quite a few good videos a well as this shite one

Hard to see how a 650 would be more fun to ride than the Yamaha 900 triple, for the same money. Honda can't really claim superior quality either, because the 650 is made in Thailand or wherever, supposedly so as to be cheaper, we'll have to wait and see how that works out.

When they don't sell like hot cakes Blue wing will likely drop the price two grand and piss off everybody who paid the original price. It's not like I have to use my crystal ball, that's the standard operating procedure at Bluewing. By the time they get around to it though most potential customers will be riding their Yamahas.
