Hi mate. Welcome back.

Are you looking at the 675 or the 765?

I had a 675 and I've ridden the 765. I'm 5'11" and both bikes are fine for me. There's plenty of room.

They're pretty bullet proof. Nice engine and exhaust sound as well.

I tend to look on Auto trader. The filters are useful to help narrow the search

This may not be quite what you had in mind (obviously not :D ), but I felt I had to at least show you it Reedy.

Should set the bar nicely, for you to draw comparisons with other market offerings. (smirk)

They both look pretty clean and seem to be well looked after.

The second one has got some nice extras.

Are you tempted?

They're nice looking bikes but they're getting on a bit now.
