Almost too fast hehe. But thought id let u kno.  ;D

is it ABS ? a 650 is a nice size bike, I had a SV650 prior to my V-strom 1000, it took me everywhere I wanted to go and then some, you will be able to out accelerate all but the fastest cars, but If you start doing long distance riding like I did, while it will keep up with any flow of traffic all day long, it will be wound up, I found 1000cc to be more relaxing on the throttle

Talladega?
Some of us feel that anything over 500 is a waste unless you're pulling a double-wide or tree stumps.:-)

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Congrats on the new bike.  I have a Versys 650 which uses the same motor.  Plenty of power for anything you may want to do except maybe ride the bonneville salt flats.

when compared to a 1000cc or larger, makes a difference of comfort and endurance when long distance riding (IBA type)

And Stig, for my purpose, i agree. I may ride it until the all new re-designed 2016 Honda cbr500r comes out. Its to be revealed tomorrow!!!  But the cbr500r, imo, is perfect! ninja 650, 40-45mpg, cbr500r 60-70, both have same tank size. And from what i heard, the cbr500r is alot smoother and has a slightly nicer fit & finish? IDK?
