620 Sport

Hi all.

I have just joined the DSC and this is my first attempt to use the message board so this could be chaos.

I returned to bikes after many years off last June and bought a 620 Sport (previous bike a 1980 Bonneville bought new) and it was exactly as yours ie silver fully-faired etc.

Though a bit painful on the back and wrist front for an old six foot plus bloke I enjoyed it and quickly considered changing to louder exhausts etc.
In the event I just swapped from the original Bridgestone BT57 tyres to a pair of BT10's.
This completely transformed the bike and was 100% worth doing. I recomend you try this, relatively cheap step - and then give it the summer before forking out on expensive shocks etc
I have just traded our 620 in for a 900SS for that bit more grunt (bearing in mind that herself and I are not exactly lightweights) and it is fabulous - like the 620 but more of everything. Course Scorpion cans help on the sound front!

All the best.
