Feeling like an outcast already

Just remember...
You go back far enough and you would have seen singles then as well...

Hey, I rode a R27 while a poor grad student. I'm now on a Dakar after almost 40 years of twins. The current thumpers are night and day from the old BMW singles, those bikes would beat you to death.

I went from a GS1150 to my Dakar, best change I ever made.
 
narrower and taller box than 1150.

I just glanced back at your original post on farkle for the 650. I felt your pain last year when I sold my RT for the 650. I feel would feel inadequate if it weren't for you know... :whistle

Do know about Touratech?. If not, largest and best supplier out there for goodies on the 650. Someone already mentioned Wunderlich out of Santa Cruz. Happy-trail sells decent panniers and top boxes (per the ON article). http://www.adventurersworkshop.com/ has some stuff for the 650 as well.
