Got My Dual Sport!


Yes, I sure did.. Stumbled on a great deal on a 2007 BMW F650 GS down in CT, with only 850 miles. I bought it, and went down and picked it up with my trailer on Saturday May 3rd.

The following is the post I put up on the MTF (Motorcycle Tourer's Forum)

Ok, here it is... the "New" ride..................

2007 BMW F650 GS, a Dual Sport fun bike..Black with a whole 845 miles on it!! Yes thats it...Should still have warranty until sept 2009 (will check with my dealer)

Has the following:
ABS (switchable off)
Heated Grips (low and high settings)
Emergency FlashersCenter Stand
Arai Quantum Full face helmet.. fits me!
soft luggage (2 piece zip together by BMW, small bag fits on Rack, larger zips to it and fits on passenger seat - not bad, will use for now..)

The bike itself is basically stock and has had the 600 mile service done at the dealers. It will need the following ...
New taller & wider windshield
Pannier system
Engine Guard
Hand Guards
Aux Lighting
Likely seat upgrade (either aftermarket or have a custom guy I know tweak it) I will ride it a bit to decide...

Riding plans.. if enough gets done, may ride to Americade to see how much work seat needs, and hope to ride it to the SMR in June. Most likely will attempt my NH Instate 1000 on this bike to say I did ...



Pat in NH
