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

Clint

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.

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.
