As fun as the F650 is as a general purpose daily driver, spring has arrived in New Mexico and it is time for it to go. I purchased the F650 as to test the proposition that Roomie might enjoy going for rides longer than just across the river. That proposition has been proven, and Roomie and I have traveled up NM 4 and 14, to Chimayó and Taos, and roads in between, all enjoyable.
But the single comes up short in the potenza department. In addition, the tall profile allows the wind to buffet the bike around coming down the hill from Santa Fe. I have found a replacement bike for sale locally and have a handshake agreement to purchase it. 'Twould be nice to sell the F first before stuffing an eighth motorcycle in the garage, but at some point before the first major road ride of the season, I will want to pull the trigger on the new beauty.
