The private seller offers for sale this 2004 Sachs Roadster 650, powered by a 644 cc single-cylinder engine. Finished in a striking blue set off by red brake calipers, it shows 14,400 km on the odometer and makes a cheerful, distinctive alternative to the usual Japanese and European naked bikes. The current owner has carefully brought the motorcycle in order, fitting many new original parts including the chain and sprockets and brake components. In addition, a number of outstanding modifications, improvements and recall actions have been carried out retrospectively in line with the service bulletins issued at the time, which gives a new owner the reassurance that these known updates have already been addressed. The analogue speedometer and tachometer with the Sachs logo and the classic roadster stance give it a timeless look, and the seller notes that this is one of very few examples known to be road-registered in its current market, making it a genuinely uncommon sight at any gathering.
Sachs is one of the most respected names in German engineering, known for decades for its clutches, shock absorbers and two-stroke engines, and for powering generations of mopeds and lightweights. Around the turn of the millennium, Sachs Bikes set out to build a modern roadster with real character, and the result was the Roadster 650, produced in limited numbers between 2000 and 2005. At its heart sits the proven air-oil cooled single-cylinder engine supplied by Suzuki, the same unit used in the Suzuki XF650 Freewind, here producing around 50 hp. Set in a compact, well-balanced roadster chassis, it offers the strong low-down torque and easy, relaxed character of a big single, combined with the reliability of Japanese engineering and the light, neutral handling the model is known for. Today the Roadster 650 is an appealing modern classic: rare, characterful and simple to maintain, and a motorcycle that stands out among collectors who enjoy the more unusual chapters of European motorcycling.
