I have had my 640 for only 4 months now, but have ridden it from Rhode Island to Washington state. This is my experience, would love other feedback. It´s a wonderfully engineered bike. I´ve had two KLR 650´s, Honda Transalp, BMW 650 gs, and the MZ Baghira, plus a few street bikes here and there. Nothing handles like this bike. It´s pure pleasure to drive as long as you can handle the height. That was a bit different at first, but it is so light and well balanced that I got over it quickly (I´m 6´0\
