    She looks nice! Did you get this off of eBay? It looks familiar to me and I don't live anywhere close.

      Yeah,

      It looks like one that was on Ebay recently, I remember the high rise bucket seat/backrest!!! Congrats FireFighter! It's only got 2 cylinders, should be half as difficult as the 11!

              Nice looking expensive vibrator you got there. LOL J/k
              The 650's are cool, absolutely bullit proof machines.

                Great looking 650 you got, congrats! Now you've got another addiction going. SWMBO's trying to get me into rehab but I ain't going.

                  Another nice bike, looks like one for SWMBO to drive. Have you posted the 1100's photo yet?
