its a 650 mini ADV bike, its fine. would be a good commuter.

this particular one has something funky happening with the controls. they all feel stiff. brakes, throttle, shifter, all of it. and a LOT of engine braking from it.

its like the whol thing need to dipped in a vat of hot oil to lossen it up. I’ve oiled everything I could, but hasnt really fixxed the issue. No idea whats happening with it. probably due to the PO never keeping it in a garage

Hmm, that sounds annoying. I’ll watch out for that when I eventually get a bike.

I kinda like the weird face.

Also, I like the photo of the bike on the left side of the frame with the farm house in the background. Very nice. ^_^

yea, now that I think about it, the other Kawi 650s that I rode had sort of the same thing. wonder if its just a platform thing.

I’m recovering. Went on a very short ride yesterday as well just to get outside. I was furniture shopping last week and today I’m looking for garbage bins so... new place = adulting.
