    How old school. Like 80's, 90's?

    Honda Bros 650 twin (because I have a low km one I might sell)

    Actually of the late 80's bikes they're ahead of their time for frame and tyres 150/110's as opposed to the CBR600 at 130/110's.

    Twin cylinder. Will go forever.

    As for stuff performing under pressure it's more the rider than the bike in which case have a read of "Twist of the Wrist 2" if you're not upto speed on the riding front.

    You need to give a bet better parameters i.e. $$$ and year and what you mean by old school.

    I donno what you're going by, but the D600 is twice the size the little 675 is lol.

    Too small for me at 6' 3"

    So if I get this right, its a large whale, suitable for the larger person, with excellent indicators. The American market must love them.

    Tacos, buy any 600 including Indy's fine recomendation, thay are all good.

    Your biased, you dont count.

    However my original comment was aimed at the point the 675 is a far better bike. I believe most magazines have indicated that the 675 is a WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better bike.
    You disagree?
