Thumbs down Fmx 650

So i just spent a week in Greece with the family, Me and the old man decided to take some bikes out for a few days. The only big single available was a Honda FMX 650, so i took that and my dad took an old shabby Suzuki DR200.

I know a lot of people talk about the XT's being a budget bike, but the FMX took the word 'budget' to a whole new level. Considering the style of bike is so similar to the XTX, i couldn't believe how different it was. The ride was awful, seating position was terrible, arse end was twitchy in even the slightest bend, and a lack of power for the size of engine! All this said, it did the job and got me around the island and through some pretty rough tracks on the island, but i certainly wouldn't buy one!

Think i should have chosen the DR200!


Anyone else ridden the FMX?
