As far as I know the 650 exhaust will not fit, you would have go aftermarket to achieve this. Maybe not what your looking for. Enjoy your bike!

’s not just utilitarian as the 750 very much is. I think your criteria has to include whether you are looking for more than a reliable, utilitarian, practical bike. Looks is important too.
