I've owned a Hayabusa and three 1340 evo Harley's since my Last Honda 650 SLR and if I have my way, I will be buying another tomorrow 27/07/21 a great bike with enough speed and the abillity to off road if needed. Bugger the Hayabusa!
Engine is very much related to the XL/XR650. Actually this engine range started with the 500 and 650 Dominator and after the SLR continued with the FMX650. Cool bikes the whole bunch.
@@RetroBikesDublin Same here. Been through XR, XL, NX (Dominator that is, 250, 500, 650), SLR but no FMX yet. I favor though the most the XL600LM with those tubeless rims.
Hi from England! great bikes I have both the SLR & FX 650 Vigor. These use an RD09 engine (39 bhp) which is a slightly detuned version of a dominator engine (44ish bhp)
The front mount clips onto a circular part on the tank but they don't stay on well.the rear mounts are 2 x 10 mm bolts so it's not going to come adrift.
Good mornig. How tall is the Seat in centimetres?? Here i have 165cm and i dont know if its enough for put one or both feet in the ground. Thankyou very much!!!!
Hi man I owe one so I hope that helps. I am 178cm tall and when I am sitting at the red light both my feet are touching the ground. Obv you'd like only the right one to be ready to shift that 1st gear :) Apart from that, it is the most comfortable bike I rode (MT-07 & KX 250), super maniable as well
An oft-overlooked bike in its time. I was always a fan but never owned one.
Nice bike! Love this channel. Cheers from south america.

Have this little pearl in my collection. My first bike. Love it!

Nice thanks man !
What’s wrong with the saddle I noticed it’s not sitting right is it just not clipped in

Ooo... interesting and nice bike! Haven't seen one of those yet.... yeah,the engine looks like from xr650l. 👍👍
They are very nice to ride
What's the bikes top speed?
160 kmph
Nice bike, I haven't seen this model in Australia.
Hello from Ireland 🙂
@@RetroBikesDublin Love the selection of bikes you find. Winter here in Tasmania!
Thanks much appreciated it's extremely tough to get these bikes in nobody else doing it ! But it's our passion thanks for the view 🙂
Great video thanks
I wonder would an engine like that fit into an FTR chassis? Now that would be pretty trick and unique 🤔
Mine is a brilliant bike on or off road
