New member intro.

Post by Dave Vee »

Hi all.
I have a 2001 650 in grey and have had it now 1 month.Not ridden it much due to needing some work doing,but the short 40 mile ride from the seller I found it to be a great handler with that excellent engine :ride: ,had a SV650 a few years a go.I like vee twins and was looking at Monsters but wanted something more exclusive so here I am.I've been a member of other single bike make forums(Honda cb-1) recently and the wealth of knowledge invaluable hence joining.I'm based in Waterloville Hampshire and have been riding since I was 17 now 52 and haven't been without some type of bike in all that time!

Regards to all,and early Xmas wishes! Dave :)

Hi Dave. Glad you chose the Rap over the Monster. It is more exclusive, but doesn't feel particularly exotic. It's just a damn good bike. Hope you enjoy your new bike for a long time to come.

Hi, welcome in. You need to host your photo's then link to them rather than upload them, using the Img button.
