I did notice it's the exact same picture as the 650, just a different color. Damn those Raptors and Rockets...

why would an adventure tourer have an underslung exhaust... right BEHIND a bash plate? If they expect the worst shouldn't they protect all the jewels?

LOL, they trick many a visitor. My guess is the site owner or staff member is really good at photoshop.

It uses an almost identical frame and rear suspension setup as my bike. And the motor IS the same. The biggest differences are in the tank, front forks (I THINK), subframe, and the swingarm.

they looks like that....I sat on one the other day...I liked it, a very high seat though. I may look into it at some point.
