Can't decide

I was riding my 650G around last month a few days, it really is a nice motorcycle as is.

Yeah. I've had several different motorcycles including harleys and this is probably the smoothest riding one I have been on. Especially high in the rpms

Only gets better from here. Have you adjusted your valves? Synched your carbs? Replaced any rubber?

Thanks everyone. You have helped me make up my mind. It will stay stock and get a good going over to make it like new again.

Good choice. Personally, I love the stock ride of these bikes and have recently un-converted my 750E from a street fighter back to the original riding position. Make it safe, make it reliable, make it fast, make it pretty. Ride the stink out of it through the first two so that you get a feel for where to improve it for the third. Than you can worry about the custom look.

There are plenty of reversible cosmetic changes out there if you find that you prefer a sportier ride. Low bars, flatter seat, different rear fender treatment... Might be fun to look into doing a 'mini-Cooley' is you really like the vintage racing style... And when you're ready to sell, it all comes off to be swapped or sold and the stock bits can go back on.

Cafe bikes are for douchebags.

Way to go Mr. Just as he was convinced. Just as I was convinced.

I bought a beater and I would still feel guilty chopping it up.

I got this one cheap. It was trashed. So I decided what the hell!
No regrets and I love the bike. Fun as two fat chics wrestling in a tub of Jell-O.

But if I were you, with that bike, I'd leave it alone. Make it safe, make it dependable, and for Gods sakes make it pretty.
Then ride the holy hell out of it. You'll have a blast!
