Great bike, deciding between 650 and 1000 rn

[@themuselodge]

I personally would strongly prefer the 650. I’d like to get one someday.,

[@garrisonboyd1701]

@@themuselodge what’s your reasoning? They are basically the same price where I am and insurance is 4 bucks a month difference. Why not have an extra 30 or 40 Hp

[@getlost.followme.6637]

⁠ with extra horsepower comes extra weight and bulk. The 650 is more nimble, is a better fit, ergonomically for me personally, and has all the horsepower I need to do what I want to do. Among my rider friends, the 650 is also overwhelmingly more popular. It’s just a personal choice. Get whatever one you want, obviously.
