Well Done in passing your DAS.. :thumbleft:

My advice get out to the dealers and get a test drive.. on each of the bikes you mention.

As the driving position is going to be different especially as you are very tall.
Iam short 5'8 , so with a lower seat on the transalp it fits prefect.

The 650 is my first *big* bike, i love it.. picked up a nice 2007 for a good price at the dealer, £4000

I found the 650 very easy to drive, very forgiving , confidence inspiring.
perfect for around town, bumbling about the back roads and its got enough to cruise at 80 if you want.

I have heard good things about the 700 as well, so this will be my next bike , i think (got to get the dealer to slap on a lower seat though)

Have Fun out there... :thumbup:

Cheers LWR
