Great looking bike WoodsChick. A little jealous to say the least. Once you ride it around a bit you're going to have to do a ride report for us all.
Congratulations on your new 650 Terra. CH can hardley wait for the pics you and the bike will be taking.
Heck Woodsie I missed this new purchase. Congratulations. Please do a full ride report when you can, I always look forward to your ride reports. Especially keen to hear how the 650 goes on those trips you and Eric do. My main concern is limited suspension travel, limited suspension adjustment and would love input on any changes you make, esp around tyres. I am looking at the TR 650, a left over 630 and a KTM 690 (wash my mouth out). Still doing my regular TE310 bush thing and love being a real dill on my Multistrada. Howwver its the DS bit in the middle I need to get cracking on. Already eliminated the big Katos, and BMW's, the KLR etc are just too old. it seems there is limited scope in the single cylinder department. I think the Yammy 660 Tenere is ok but its heavy and very pricey here. Cheers and regards Glenn.
Hey Woodchick, which Revit gear is that you are wearing? Just picked up an AirwaveJacket yesterday for summer over here, maybe pick up a new Terra in a couple of months.
Hey, ghte! Sorry for the delayed response. I can't seem to keep up anymore! As far as limited suspension travel goes, this TR650 is replacing my SV650 so I'm winning in that department It's a little tall for me yet, and after over 1000 really bumpy and harsh miles, I only managed to get an extra 1/4" of sag out of the beast I definitely need new springs front and rear, it's pretty harsh for my massive 123lb self. In spite of that, I'm having a lot of fun on this bike. I think it's going to suit my needs nicely. I can continue to pile up the stupid miles on my beloved 610 while Eric's on his 950, and I'm still limited in where I can go because of that 950, but with this TR650 we're pretty much on evenly matched machines and it's a mile-eater. I think it's going to be a lot of fun! Hey, Xch! My RevIt gear is the full mesh Tornado. I love it...it fits me really nicely even though the "short" pants are still a tad too long but nothing I can do about that. My next purchase will probably be the Ventura jacket and maybe the pants. They're the ones most like the Sand jacket for men. Good stuff!
