New Member & FMX650 Owner

[scudmotodude]

Hi all,

Names James,

Just thought I would register, and say hi, new to the forum, and new to to my FMX, - my XR600R Supermoto decided it was going to throw a conrod, so I plumped for a 2006 FMX650 in black with 1000 miles on the clock for £3000

Managed to get rid of the previous owners chicken strips

WELLCOME how dose it compare to the xr650r

[scudmotodude]

The XR was a 94 600R,
- The FMX is soooooo much nicer to ride if not as quick - Vibrations are minimal, once you have it wound up, you can carry some proper good corner speed, handles really well - front can feel like it's going to tuck if you brake mid corner, but it hasn't as yet LOL

Could do with a few more horses, but it's quite happy to sit at around the 80mph mark
