BMW F650CS/GS - Any Experience?
Hi, I am looking to get a bike that I can do a bit of everything on. It needs to be sub £4K so all the 1100+ BMW's are no good. Mostly it will be my main way of getting around, work etc, but want something that I can do a long weekend through Europe on with my girlfriend, and next year a longer trip, probably W. Africa also with girlfriend.
Having spent ages checking out reviews, bikes and forums, I reckon I have a shortlist. Top of it is the Africa Twin, but these are hard to find 2nd hand, and as a result appear expensive for the miles etc.
I am now looking at the BMW F650, and am tempted by the CS and GS versions. Question is: are they any good two up? How comfortable are they for 400 mile a day trips? I have read in places the seat can be hella uncomfortable, and they also sound a bit too low. I am 6' and just over 70kg, so with my girlfriend and luggage I am also concerned the bike will struggle.
Would appreciate anyone with experience of this bike offering some opinions on the above. Cheers
