      Here is a good Hagerty review of a 650 SS. I have no digital record of this machine, but it was a wonderful ride in 1969 Singapore. It was both my daily driver to work and back, and my weekend fun toy in southern Malaysia across the bridge into Johore. Mine was also silver and rebuilt by racing shop on the old track roads in Singapore that built the road racers back in British days, so it was much the identical twin of this one. Solid, confidence spring ride, never a twitch, great brakes. Weal point was the semi wet clutch in a poorly sealed primary case. Required constant tinkering. When I brought it back to US I converted to a more dry clutch setup and solved that pretty much.
