[QUOTE="The Cheese, post: 303173, member: 28991"] I am in the market for a new bike and can't decide between these 2 bikes. My riding plans are for 30% street, 50% fire roads/ dirt roads and 20% single track. I realize these bike have dramitcally different charestics. My plan with the 520 exc is: mount more street friendly tires, convert tailight to break light and add a horn. I MT. this would make the bike street legal. Eventually if needed add aux. gas tank. I heard in Europe the 520 comes in a DS version, pretty much the exact same bike just has turn signal and that stuff. Not fair. With the 640 DS I would basically just ride the hell out of it. Maybe do something with the exhaust baffles to get some more HP. I haven't seen any aftermarket performance parts for this bike. Has anybody? If so where? I am not even sure I will need them, but its hard to tell since I never ridden the bike. I definetly want a bike that rips! My main question with 520 is how will do at extended highway speeds 20-30 miles at 50-70 mph? With the 640 I wonder if it is to burly for single track roosting. I am currently leaning towards the 640 based on less maintenance, possibility of long road trips on street/ pavement and passener capibilities. It would nice to be ablet to take the lady up to some high mountain lakes. Any input or suggestions is greatlly appreciatted. thanks Any suggestions or input will bre greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
