My new coummuter hack

Rilot · 23 Apr 2008 at 14:31

1995 BMW F650 Funduro
65k miles
New engine about 2k miles ago
Stack of history as thick as the phone book
Last owner had it for 8 years

Needs new headstock bearings (easy job), possibly a chain (cheap and easy with these bikes) and a new back tyre. Feels like it could do with the calipers being stripped and rebuilt but not urgently.
The motor feels strong and makes a nice "doff doff doff" sound.

£750 - Bargain

Happy.

looks great man, though not sure on doff doff sound

I always toyed with 2nd bike but when you have a 2nd bike next to your pride and joy I know which one I'd always pick, she'd be calling me

Yeah, but when it's raining, do I really want to be riding my beautiful RSV? Nope.

too true, cant believe you got it for 750 quid though, thats throw away money... maybe you should do some green laning on it also, would be a laugh

Seems to be standard money for these really. No one wants a high mile bike. These are very popular with dispatchers so you've gotta be fast when they come up.

It does require a different pace of thinking than with the RSV. It's kinda slow.
