Hola
« on: September 11, 2020, 11:15:38 »
Hola, thanks for the add.  I'm in Spain and deciding whether to get an older (2005) 650 or a much newer (2017 or 19) 650XT.
Was a TDM 900 enthusiast but sold it due to a move and now have just my old favourite VF750c. Keep the Honda and get a cheaper V-Strom as well or just a newer XT?  Test rides and decisions over the next few days/weeks.  lookimh forward to it :)

Thanks.  I am fairly comfortable looking at the newer model, will try at a dealer and then look at the secondhand ones.  As to the older 2005 version the one advertised is expensive but older vehicles in Spain usually are.  Any pointers as to what I should be looking for in terms of problems?  Thanks
