I'll wager you have never owned a 640, and that your claims are all hearsay based on
the experiences of others.
I have owned a 640 and ridden it many miles , and it has been as reliable as any Japanese
bike I have ever owned, over 40 years of riding motorcycles.
To the OP : Don't let the claims of "internet experts" dissuade you from buying what is far and away the best
adventure bike in the world. One caveat : if you are shorter than 5 feet 10 inches tall, you will find the bike is a handful.
But if your skill is up to the bike's abilities, you will find no more satisfying bike on earth, for true adventure riding.
By far, the comment written by Colebatch, above, is the most pertinent on this thread. I suggest you
read it several times and digest the deceptively simple wisdom the man was kind enough to offer,
which is based on more riding experience than most folks will have in a lifetime.
