Just a short rave here. My '08 DL650 is my second bike. I rode an old Shadow 750 for most of last season (cheapest bike I could buy that I knew I could fix). Picked up my Wee in October. I've put 2500 miles on it since--would be a lot more if I didn't work from home.
I just got back from a short 200 mile ride today up to Mirror Lake in Utah's "Uinta" mountains. I rode with two Gold Wings, an 1800 cc cruiser, and a Honda 1200 sport tourer. Other than my buddy (one of the Gold Wings) everyone commented on what a great bike the 650 is. The Cruiser owner even said he's thinking of selling his cruiser and buying a Weestrom.
57 MPG. At $2.22/gallon right now, this has to be the most fun one can have legally...
Heading to Black Hat in Vegas at the end of the month, with soft bags for luggage. That'll be my longest trip to date and I'm really looking forward to it!
Hope to see some of you all on the road...
