Good looking bike....I do believe you need one with a bit more power if you want to stay young in spirit.

That passenger seat doesn't look proper for hauling Marcia around.

Reply #2 - 11/16/23 at 05:02:31 In order for you to make an honest comparison between the two bikes, you will need to have both bikes to ride, so buying the 650 and keeping your 350+cam is your only logical choice.

MM , You have convinced me that the 350 is rock solid and that helped me to decide to build the 250. Now go test out that 650 for us ! You’re a real time report as you go , the bad as well as the good. The truth helps a lot. Not someone paid to say it’s good. And I know you’ll pound down the miles from day 1.

So figure this one out :

The "Touring Seat + Back Rest " is $200.
The "Touring Windshield" is $100.
Installing them myself

The Factory installed options is $500. more
The Factory two tone paint job cost $300. more. But I don't like their colors.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/394651875980?hash=item5be315ba8c:g:HiwAAOSwnRFkdbb4&...

100% installing this for Marcia and myself ! Wink

The windshield too.
...................

Allright I'm calling the dealer to tell him "Get it READY" !

............

Dave , if I put myself in "Best Behavior Mode" you think you and Deb can put-up with me for a few days in January ?
I can promise to bring an interesting project ?

.............

Yea Rutty the 350 is SOLID ! Wink

It comes up a little short as the hills get steeper , especially ridding double. The Performance Cam claims 4 Hp / 20 % increase ?
The HP and Torque numbers are the same on this motor / a lot like the Savage is , the factory HP numbers are deceptive to how it pulls.
..........

Thanks for the incuragement guys !

Hay , Deer season is open now ... Wink

Yes , its 87 miles from my house to Decatur AL. Dealer. I not only got a new Motorcycle ... I got a FREE "T-Shirt" . Grin

It was too simple. The out-the-door price with the sales person was REALLY the Out the door price with the "Paper Work Person".

The guy from the repair area help me load the bike in the truck and into the wheel catcher .
I got caught in rush hour traffic and didn't get home till after dark ... so I didn't get any pictures of it on the carport. Roll Eyes

Tomorrow , I hope to put my tag on it tomorrow. Then call my insurance person.

I'm a little torn between putting a top box and luggage rack or just going with only a pair of Givi panniers and factory looking back rest w/no rack ?

The concern is : A top box adds weight up high , and I'm not getting any younger.
That sure is a nice looking back-rest that comes with the Touring seat !

Anybody ever added TO MUCH LUGGAGE to their bike.

Mine is the Blue one but the shield and seat/back rest here is what I'm going for.
