It's just another cheesegrater copycat now.

And when you see the dash, it's horrible. Gigantic fuel gauge- bigger than the tach or speedo.

Poo on you.

lol Seriously tho PR. You bash EVERY bike when comparing it to how great your 650R is. You just hating on this one because no your's is an old model

But ya they need o work on that tail.

I agree.

The tail on the 650r is hideous.

I like it for a budget bike...But I hate it cause its a budget bike.

Really it doesn't look that bad, the footpegs are crazy, the tail is a necessary evil if you have a 2 up plan. Parallel Twin is friendly enough. If they had given it the better suspension from the Kawasaki Versys they would have me happy!

It's trying to look like the 10R- which everyone hates. And the dash looks like something out of an 80's clunker station wagon.

Hell- the Buellidiots put down everything that doesn't have a bucket or rocks harley engine, so why can't I spread the P-twin love?

Gotta admit the new 65o P-twin is a much better mill than the old 250 or 500. Pair O Nines racing does alright against the SVs in the endurance racing series...

The tail design doesn't match the aggressiveness of the front. Still not bad looking though.

Anyone who doesn't ride a 650R is an idiot. Funny.
