    thanks for the welcome, am sure that i wil love it, it been some time since i rode, so just getting back into it, am looking for a blue one, 04/05 plate or round about that year, also as i will be riding all year round i guess that heated grips would be a bonus.

    thanks again

    Welcome to the forum, Clint.
    The 650 Alp is Ideal for returning to biking, when I got mine I felt as if it was part of me.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Hi Clint, welcome to the forum.

    At the end of Autumn make sure you protect it for the winter something like ACF50, I never last year it shows

    This is the bike to impart confidence after not riding for a while...

    All the best.
