i'm getting a new bike. woooohooo, sweet muda fuga, i am on my way to my dream duke 999r. i'm getting a 1990honda bros650, it has only 29k, and it looks cool. has a few minor blemishes, small dent in tank, smashed indicator. and most of all its a V-FRIKEN-TWIN. and i will have to ride it over THE HILL to get it home....i might get a mate on his gn to stay infront of me untill i am used to it, then i will eat his soul with my beautiful v-twin rumble....the thing is i dont trust myself over the hill, last time i was sitting on my pegs most of the time......i suppose i'll granny ride it :whistle: yeah fucken right.
it is only $2000 :devil2: so i am selling the gn to get the 2k. if anyones interested...

nice... think the 650 BROS is a shaftie aya! :)

apparently it was made in chain drive some time but i think this one is a shaft drive. is that a bad thing?? my old man used to have an xs1100 and it had so much torque that when powering out of a long bend the swingarm would get twited and the bike would throw a wobbly, but i dont think the bros650 would have that problem....not enough power and better technology. oh the bros is supposed to handle quite good too, will be a change from the gn i spose.... :niceone:

No, if it's a Bros then it's chain drive. The shaft drive version was the Revere.

Very cool bike, my flatmate has the 400cc version of it. Looks quite nice and I'm sure the 650 has a bit more grunt to go with it. This isn't the one that was ANZA is it?

They have the reputation for lasting forever, like 400k kilometres. Makes the Ducati 620 look sick.

Awesome fun, and it has character.... Most fun I've had on a bike :yes:

i rode the bike on saturday afternoon. and faaaaaaark it had more pull than a naked swedish chick. i was in the 70 or 80k zone near the airport and opened it ever so slightly whilst going 40 behind some loser and it pulled to 130 before i knew it and shit it sounded awesome. i have decide to buy it and will have it when the gn is sold...i looove v-twins....i honestly didn't have the balls to twist the throttle like on the gn. speaking of the gn when i hoped back on it i was giving it hell and it seems even more inadequate than before.....sooooon grasshoper, patience young one.....
when i get to a decent straight up my way [when ive got it] i will maybe open it up....it has sooooooo much grunt and i only had to think corner and it went around at gn peg speeds.....i took the gn down the coast road today.....fuck its gutless........... :devil2: v-twin :devil2:
