Does it move much at high speeds or is it pretty stable?

deli-g650 · 02-14-2008, 11:23 AM

it is ALOT more stable than i thought it would be.... i had to trial and error with mounting to get it just right... at highway speeds when it is cold out, i can lean a little forward and it takes a bit of the wind off me. makes it a bit more bearable when i'm riding to work at 4 am. cant beat the price. the BMW version was just too much $. plus another $120 for mounting hardware. crazy!

a couple more pics from my florida trip.

Sweet!

How many miles did you cover and in how many days? Look like a fairly sized load you got there, what all did you bring?

misanthropic · 02-14-2008, 08:54 PM

Glad I found this thread. I saw one at the dealer last fall and really liked it. Thought it was a bit expensive though. Now that I see that the price has been reduced I'm going to reconsider. Good stuff keep it coming.

deli-g650 · 02-15-2008, 03:49 AM

it was a 4 day trip that was just over 900 miles. i camped a couple nights and hoteled the other night. so i had a bit of stuff. i did manage to keep the weight 35lbs.
tent
sleeping bag
hatchet
change of clothes
food / water
a few tools
fuel bottles
stove
french press / cup
book
camera / gps / map
rain gear
Springfield XD

thats is most everything i took.... the tt rack i got for x-mas worked very well.

deli-g650 · 02-15-2008, 04:01 AM

a picture of a ferry ride as i ride the A1A up the east coast.

Olas · 02-16-2008, 09:20 AM

Good deal , deli. Can't wait to take my 650 on some trips this summer..

deli-g650 · 02-17-2008, 05:58 AM

i am moving to colorado springs this summer. i am pretty stoked about the riding i will be able to there. i already have a few destinations in mind.

Olas · 02-17-2008, 08:28 AM

PM me once you move here. I only live about 50 miles North of Colorado Springs. There is LOTS to ride around here.

Motojournalism · 02-19-2008, 09:06 AM

Here's a few pics of an X Country I saw last fall

deli-g650 · 02-19-2008, 04:30 PM

Hey deli,

Rob Metzger put up a post in the F650 forums about his Remus pipe...mentioned something about there being a gap at that junction you're speaking of and needing to use a gasket. Here's the link: http://f650.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=217905
Hope that helps and definitely get in touch!
