BMW F650GS, 2004
A spanking good deal, which I will relate in a later post. There's been a lot of bike-thinkery going on round here in the last few weeks, and this is the result. I am very pleased with it. More anon.

yEE hAH - Welcome to the BMW Chain gang!
ReplyDeleteWe had a super ride on our 650GS on Saturday through the German Swiss Alps to Thunder mountain courtesy of my Brother in law - even managed a ton on the way back 2 up! (legal on Autobahns naturally). This bike is frowing on me especially as it does 70+mpg.
You never said you had one of these! Mind you, I don't think the idea had crossed my mind when we last spoke. We must organise an international 650GS coffee morning :)
DeleteStrictly speaking I bought it for Mrs N, and she rode it......once.
DeleteGood purchasing policy.
DeleteXX legal on Autobahns naturally XX
ReplyDeleteOnly partly...VERY partly. Try it on the Berlin ring, or 90% of other Autobahns, and see how fast the wee green meany wipes his arse with your riding licence before ripping it into little pieces.
One has to keep up with the flow
DeleteI can assure you, it does NOT stand up as a defence, "at the road side" and will get you an even HIGHER fine and points if used in court as such.
DeletePretty nice looking ride you found there.
ReplyDeleteI like the black with red seat combination.
Thank you! Have to say I find it quite handsome, and that's from someone who never liked the look of the GS Beemers one little bit. Red seat may be gone soon in favour of a higher option. It's very l-o-w for a six footer.
DeleteRichard, that's a good looking machine. I love the 650, and so does my father-in-law, who has basically been swayed into buying a GS of his own (some day) after a bit of saddle time on mine. Enjoy the hell out of that thing, it's a fantastic machine.

It's growing on me ... I think we will enjoy some good times together.
DeleteThe mighty Rotax. I think I preferred the single to the new 800 series, in the GS format anyway.
ReplyDeleteA little more poke wouldn't hurt - but if it comes with CANbus, I will stick with the 650.
DeleteCongratulations, I know a chap with one that he wouldn't part with at gunpoint! Hope you are as happy with yours.
ReplyDeleteThank you! These things do seem to inspire loyalty. So far the Yam isn't sulking.
