    Mine went well. not the most factory spec example though.
    One problem it had was a loose nut between the seat and bars.



    I do think the BrosS650 spanks the GS.

    I should hope so. 150cc at that engine size is quite an advantage!

    The 650 had a terrible set up front end though
    Having ridden both, the Honda is nicer. But only due to being the size of a ciggy lighter and with more torque. I doubt there's a huge difference up top between two standard ones, but hey, who cares, they're a bit slow anyway.

    never mentioned size but they're out there in 400, 600 and 650 versions so you can at least draw a fairish comparison

    The 600 was the NTV Revere, Bros was 400/647. The Revere had shaft drive and more weight and was somewhat boring...

    Even Bros 650's can look cool.

    THis one is rather neat (if a little Monsterish)..

    I think the factory 18in rear looks hot on them (later model ones had 'em) and they need the factory low clip-ons and close ratio box.

    I'm biased, 'cause mine had that stuff
