W650

I'll put the other hat on. I always wanted a W650 because I liked the styling and loved the naked standard UJM type of bike, as most of us here do. But I saw one up close a few months ago and was underwhelmed. It's small, quiet, and didn't seem to have a lot of get up and go when the rider took off. It's a bit heavy for its displacement, overall I liked my Scram much better. However, it does have a reputation of super build quality, and it IS a good looking bike. My other concern is parts, only imported a couple of years, I've dealt with parts shortages on older bikes, no fun! (Of course our CB1100, each unique iteration was only imported for one year....hmmmm I guess that argument is not very strong, ha).

At any rate, best of luck in your decision
