gizmo666 Posted June 30, 2013 Author Posted June 30, 2013 look great. how much? and how many miles have? 11900 mls got it for £1800 1997 custom
Ttaskmaster Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Good price for a great bike... and you KNOW how much we love our Draggies here on YOC!! Enjoy!!
Toutsuite Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Sweet, low miles, great price, looks in great condition! One word of advice though, you may want to lose those running/passing lights at the front: they'll suck your battery dry before you know it.

lallasro Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 really low milleage, full tunned... that is a great deal.
Noise Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 STUDS!!!!!!! Next your be buying tassels well done tho mate looks good (bar the above) And remember lorries have the right of way.............no matter what
Campaman Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Nice, and welcome back to the Dragstar club, with the screen and panniers included you have a well good deal, I have the soft panniers on mine (crap ones from Ebay), yours look to be leather? Only thing I miss with the soft ones is some form of lock.
Noise Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 BURN THEM!!!! Looks like you got a fat lass on your fanny pad even tho your riding solo
Ttaskmaster Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Saddlebags without tassles, studs, conchos etc look alright. Also gives you a handy shelf to put yer gloves and bits on when you're gearing up. Plus you can go shopping for 'stuff' easier. Ruckies get in the way sometimes and cramp your style.

Ruckies get in the way sometimes and cramp your style. I put my gloves on my seat, no need for saddle bags there. If you look as good as i do.................... nothing will cramp your style.
Ttaskmaster Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Mine always fall off the opposite side and I look like a tit reaching over to pick 'em up! TBH, The 650 is actually too small for me anyway and I never look that good. Not with full-face lid on. I look alright with my Classic jacket and Halvarssons' leather cargo trousers, but I really need to ditch the lid and go round in the leather vest look. Can only get away with that at Rallies. Mostly, I like the way people look at me/the bike and go, "Ooh nice... but WTF is that- Oh, it's a [thing]... Wow, never thought I'd see one of those on a/that bike!". Function over form. The only time I look proper badass is when riding along with a blatantly obvious sword-shaped case slung on my back!!

I can`t believe this bike have 280 kg and 2,44 m
Ttaskmaster Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 why you don`t try something bigger? after 1000 miles in last 2 weeks with my midstar 950 I can say its amazing easy to control this bike, in city or outside. I can`t believe this bike have 280 kg and 2,44 m Two reasons: 1/. It'd costs a fucking fortune, relatively speaking and I don't have that kind of cash. 2/. Handling is not the issue. I can handle a 1900. It's my loooooooooooong limbs curled up in the riding position that make it look too small. Seriously, where most people are straight-armed and reaching forward, I'm in a position similar to the DSE pic of how to sit on a swivel-chair, everything at 90º, sorta thing. It's comfy as hell, but looks a bit silly. Anyway, I now ride an FJ1200 which *is* bigger in almost every way and one of its many advantages is that it's far more suited to the stupid things I was trying to make a Cruiser do!
