I like the 650 better than the 1000 on road too. I am probably not going to turn it into a tug. Thinking about focusing it as a sport tourer once the Tourance tires wear out. We will see what time brings. If/when I get another sidecar, it's likely I buy it as a unit. I've seen some below 3k.

I think it is about 40 or 50 lbs more. I can't tell riding it. It turns tighter and handles better at slow speeds than the sv. It does look bigger because of the fairing they are about the same under the plastic.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-38236320324747877932016-10-06T23:54:15.829-05:002016-10-06T23:54:15.829-05:00Looks pretty nice!
