[B. Jr.]

I have a friend who owns an older F650 put together by Aprilia. He likes it. In MCN recently they reported all kinds of electrical problems with the new crop of F650's. Seems the Italians were better at putting it together than the Germans. My friend has found it quite amusing. I own a fine Moto Guzzi, so we bond together.

Gary, Take a long hard look at the F650 GS Dakar. I'm in the middle of a test on one right now........and I'm blown away...... Still to early to do any a/b breakdowns yet......... Checkout the stats........and you'll have my conclusions in the next DSN. Great ridiing....sorry to hear about your KLR. Tobin Lampson A7(Therapy)
