I used to have a F650 prior to the RS. While my RS was in the shop for the 6K
service they lent me the thumper. I can't believe I used to ride it daily and
toured on it. I think the F lacks focus on dirt and street. So vague is a good
word for it. After one spin on the RS I knew what my next bike was going to be
;-). I don't want to trash on the F as I enjoyed it, but did not know there was
a smoother ride out there.

So I found out that the computer on my bike isn't reading. Back to the shop next
week.
