Just thought I'd ask the Family for their views and opinions on a bike I have a line on.
1999 BMW F650 Enduro
2800mi
$3500
Can't really say that I've researched alot on these bikes. In fact, it may be safe to say that I don't really know much about 'em. Superbly underpowered (48HP @ 6500RPM, 37ft-lbs TQ), single cylinder engine.
Anyone have any experience with these? Reliability issues? Easy to find parts? Easy to maintain? Easy to service?
I guess just the basic research stuff that goes with buying a bike again.
I'm curious about it...but I'm not too sure if this is the route that I want to go. I'd rather not be caught in jam with a bike that can't power me out of a sticky situation or can't handle emergency manuevers.
It is, however, one step closer to the kitchen of MC wonderful goodness.
I'm currently doing research...but I'm finding that I'm a little skeptical about the reviews I read online about the bike. I'd trust my family more.
So....whaddya say? Any thoughts?
