	Were there any particularly good or bad years for the BMW R65s?
Any general comments on these bikes from past/current owners?  Power in
a 2-up situation?  Handling on twisties?  Aftermarket parts and ease of
working on the bike?

Hi there, I have just got a new toy, 89 Kawasaki EX500.
Does anyone have the same bike? Any comments on this bike, good or bad?
How much would be a fair price for this bike?

I would appreciate it very much.

Whhhelll... that's nice and dandy. Now for the advanced question: how does
the reserve work on the original FZ750, 700's, Fazers (I think) and maybe 
others. I'm talking about the ones with an electronic switch for reserve - 
no double tubes in the tank. The only thing I can think of is that once
the gas level gets down low enough the fuel pump gets turned off. Once you
flip the switch, it goes back on. If it sounds more complicated, that's because
it is. Needless to say :):( my reserve is not working (it is always on), 
so I can run the tank dry with reserve on or off. It's too hot right now to 
work on it and the bike does have a fuel gauge so I'm OK. BTW, I've always
wondered how come cages don't have reserve, and why in the hell Yamaha tried
to be so fancy with thier cutsie, little electronic switch. I would have 
been much hapier with the conventional (read reliable) switch.

I am 5'5" and weigh 150lbs, and I ride my VMAX all over in town.  It 
has a very low CG,  which makes it very easy to handle for a big bike.

When comparing the motor to a ZX, or a GSXR or other in-line 4 remember
that the VMAX motor is designed much more for torque than top end horse
power.  As a result it feels very strong from the bottom, rather than feeling
like you have to get the rev's up to get at the power.  Although it's really 
great when the V-Boost Kicks (at 6K).  

I have ridden passengers who have found this bike very comfortable.   In general
I am very happy with this bike.  I have no problems in town, and it's really great
on the Freeway.   I would prefer if the gas tank were a little bigger.

I think I gotta argue with you on this one.  Define "accurate."

As far as gas gauge goes, being consistent is adiquate.  On my FJ
When the gauge says exactly half full, I can put in exactly 3 gallons.
For a tank rated at 5.8 gallons, that's not bad.  When I hit "empty"
I can put in exactly 5 gal.  The manual says the reserve is 0.8 gallons.
I consider this accurate.  Better than accurate is the consistency 
of the gauge.  The numbers just don't change.

I am satisfied.

All this talk about reserve amounts is silly.  If you are _really_
worried about it, go out and get a Paris-Dakar tank and retrofit
it to your bike.  Admittedly, it will look a bit out of place on, say,
a Ninja 250, or perhaps an RC30, but the thing will protect you from
a lot of wind blast, and you fill up once a day at your convenience. :-)

Ride for long stretches at a time,

Bill
