Just picked my 650 classic up the other day. Use it instead of my truck for errands and to and from work. What a gas saver !!!  Live in Hawaii so will use it all year.. Has plenty power and I agree with the 6th gear. Looked at 750 honda, kawasaki 500 harley 833 and overall for the price looks and ride, I had to make the choice I did. The bike is close to ground, so looking into the oil level glass that is restricted by foot rest means you must lay on the ground and level bike. I am 60 years old and that is one thing I do not like.

All and all very happy so far. Will get K&N oil and air filter...
