Finally, a bike deal :)
What's this?
Are there any good battery operated motor scooters in australia at lower prices? Like the OLA S1 Pro?
The 800DE really seems like a no brainer vs the 650. Suzuki really threw the kitchen sink at it.
Except tubeless tyres and cruise control.
Arguably best not to use tubeless offroad depending on what you're doing. And cruise control is an easy enough after market item with a throttle lock
A throttle lock is not cruise control, except on very flat road.
More of an annoyance than leaving it to the right wrist.
so much more expensive and it's a parallel twin
Nice post OP. I took my brother in law's new one for a spin (lams 650XT) on the weekend with my wife on the back.
Beautiful bike, a very well centred bike that feels nimble for it's wet weight- front forks were a tiny bit soft (albeit with 160kg combined weight on the bike) however the rear was superb. It had a great power band (topping off with the lams restriction) and handled the twisties of Mt Glorious with ease. $14k is alot of bang for buck and it has a bit of a cult following. If these bikes had a BMW logo on it, you'd easily be looking around $20k.
Also keep in mind accessories are well cheap for this model as it has been around for a while. The only negative I found as well as alot of later bikes is the position of the oil filter- directly at the bottom centre of the engine. A rock, stick or debri could flick up and cause you at alot of issues, bash plate is the only thing you'd 100% need for the Weestrom.

so true my friend
These engines are genuinely bulletproof. Great machines
Price drop could be related to the imminent release of the Honda XL750 Transalp which may reset the market in the mid-price range adventure tourers. The Honda will probably retail at less than $15 + onroad costs undercutting the Yamaha Tenere & the V-strom 800.
Honda Transalp looks like one heck of a bikeAbsolutely. The 650 is outdated at this point and doesn't offer much beyond say a CB500X @ $11200 ride away
Different style of bike and not LAMS friendly, however, this is also a pretty decent deal.
can you go heaven with this?
Well KLR 650 offers another 1900 era solid tech, that has not changed (almost) since its inception. Cheaper at @11k driveway, but of course it is very different machine.
Plenty of bike for that money. Probably the last of the V twins as well as they're dropping it for the boring parallels. Grab one to be a part of V history.
btw, where is the yellow offering for the 650xt as pictured?
