Savage 650

Found a Big Brother to the GZ. Might have to go see it up close and personal. Not enough kms on it to be considered broke in after 9 years. The price is less than a used GZ. :2tup:

I love these bikes and was looking for one when I got my Vulcan 500. They are not common in Spain. Having said that, I am really pleased with the Vulcan. I have a feeling that you may be tempted back on the road WW!

Gonna be back in the saddle WW? Great! Fingers crossed for a good deal and bike!

The bike is apparently next to new with 2500 kms on the clock. All it would need is new tires, tubes, brake fluid and likely a drive belt due to it's age. I would just have a project for a while to keep me amused. Might even ride it if I get a new helmet.
Waiting for a reply from the seller to see if it is still available. Pretty hard to fault a GZ on steroids with a belt drive. If I get it I will then mention the price as it is pretty darn good.

That is possible. I got bored and lost interest with the Vstrom and eventually sold it. Maybe a new project will will flush away the boredom. Another bike to tinker with and add farkles might be the ticket. Hmm, spend $ and do some bad language while tinkering sounds kinda fun. Still waiting to hear from the seller. Gotta a feeling I will loose this one though.
