I'm relatively new to this forum and a happy owner of a 2022 Int650. I've made many changes to lower the weight of the bike and only ride solo. The most savings was changing the entire exhaust system with TEC headers and Powerage silencers. Saved approx 25-28 lbs. TEC Parts and Western Cycle Supply are two excellent sources for R.E. parts of any ilk. I also have bought parts directly from vendors in India with great success except for one company, Startmotor. If you want your parts in a decent amount of time, do NOT deal with that company. I ordered some YSS Top Line shocks at the beginning of April and have yet to receive them. Now, I've had to contact eBay and with a complaint filed with them, eBay has forced the Indian business to ship the expensive items.
Back to the INT and me, I'm a 69 year old male who's been riding since I was 9 years old on homemade minibikes.
This bike is an excellent choice for new, experienced, and returning riders alike. Relatively lightweight, neutral handling, slick shifting motorcycle that I very much enjoy riding. Besides around town, I usually take a 90-120 minute ride on two lane twisties around my house. Very comfortable, especially with the RE Premium Touring Seat I bought.
You won't be disappointed!
