Ok guys...
My thread title wasnt thought out as well as it should of been and my objective was to start this thread as a place that BMW F650 owners could tell me about their experiences...
Sadly, y opinion of the 650´s is only getting worse.
Im at Dakar Motos waiting for pollos birthday party and some spares and many a F650 owner is turning up and passing thorugh etc...
Nearly everyone of them is cursing the bike. All with failing ABS, leaking seals, water pumps knackered and the headlamp subframe breaking through fatigue. Bits and pieces breaking and falling off..
Now of course, all bikes suffer and have their faults but not to this extent...
I am prepared to take the flak for saýing this the F650 is NOT a good bike. I wouldnt touch one with a shi*ty stick.
Thier only saving grace seems to be comfort and good fuel consumpion (which is easily rivalled by a Vstrom or Transalp)
