650cc Archives | Wind Burned Eyes

I have covered lower-displacement motorcycles—most notably 125cc and 500cc—and high-displacement motorcycles—1,000cc and 1,200cc While I love all these bikes, a good middleweight engine size is honestly the best all-around motorcycle. For that, you need the best 650cc motorcycles, and I have a list.

A 650cc motorcycle is the best out there. These machines have plenty of power for highway duties, and they’re tame enough to not get you into too much trouble.
