I've never ridden one, never will probably, but based upon what's said from you, Dern, Couch etc i think they're pretty much perfect for what they need to be as a day to day bimbler with a bit of fun. I think they tick many many boxes.Dodgy69 wrote: Sun Jul 28, 2024 7:07 pm The gt 650 is the perfect addition to any garage. If we want faster we get something faster. If we want comfy, we get something comfy.
If we want old engineered sporty fun with character for the B roads, we get a lovely Royal Enfield continental gt for 5k. Get it done.
i took the new V7 out this week. found it to be quite nippy. i had no problem overtaking cars. i really liked the handling too. it felt light and nimble.KungFooBob wrote: Sun Jul 28, 2024 10:19 am I had a Guzzi V7 II (the 750 one, not the newer 850).
It was a lovely thing, but dog dog slow and I couldn't make it handle. It's certainly no quicker than the 650 Enfield.
They’re nice looking things, if that’s your bag. Maybe think of it as a bike version of your 2CV and lean into it.dern wrote: Sun Aug 11, 2024 1:52 pm Another 100 mile ride today and the novelty has mostly worn off
I can’t see me have it for much longer. 46bhp is great when there’s no traffic but it isn’t when there is. I liked the bits when the road was empty but when following other cars I want about 100bhp more.
If you don’t try these things, you never know.
Well, someone has to be the first to supercharge a 650GT....ChrisW wrote: Sun Aug 11, 2024 6:57 pmThey’re nice looking things, if that’s your bag.

If I didn't have my SV650's I'd be interested in one of those Triumph's.I saw a silver grey one the other month,it had a few nice modifications & looked nice.KungFooBob wrote: Sun Aug 11, 2024 7:26 pm Or...

I had one of those nine or ten years ago. I don’t have a bad thing to say about it, did exactly what you’d want it to do really well.KungFooBob wrote: Sun Aug 11, 2024 7:26 pm Or...
