Hi Everyone seen this DL650 today online was thinking for a second bike or even a first are they better than the Glee I had last time?

Looks a nice clean low miles classic Wee. I've had Wee's and a Glee and I couldn't really tell the difference. It may be shaddow or it may be the water pump housing has the usual paint peeling problem but if it has that's easily fixed.
Sump guard, engine bars and a top box looks ready to go.

Do it Steve. You know you want to!

That's a nice classic, low mileage Wee. My only thought would be resale value. For not much more you could get a newer bike.

That was my thought as well Fat Rat.

I know because it's my old one . and only done 6k and I think it was more comfortable that my L6

I like the orange one!

With the blue bike just check that it is an AK8. The previous owner may have added the orange indicator lenses but I thought they were smoked clear from 2008. Still essentially the same bike but if it is a late registered 2007 then the price should be tweaked. Nice bike though.

That would be the Trump machine TP? 

First bikes are always (?) the one you like best so I wouldn't look at a higher priced, albeit very good, older model for the same reason as FR. I wouldn't buy the Wee myself as I bought the Glee. Not much more to add.........

I do prefer the pair of analogue clocks to the instruments on my 18 Strom.  I suppose the digital ones are much cheaper to produce.

It's the previous Dickinson model...
