Re: [emrat:4476] Bike Shopping!!

Have you sat on one?  What I can tell you from Sara's and Katie's, is that I find them *very* short.  You are a lot taller than I am.

Mostly they are bullet proof though, with one exception, the water pumps and cooling fans tend to go on them. 

The tail light assembly tends to shake itself loose, but that's more of an annoyance than a problem.

Headlights are week, tail light dim, but Sara added auxiliary lights and an LED tail light.

She actually really likes the Shinko 705's.

Possibly looking into possibly buying a 2003 BMW F650GS/ABS.This one in particular is bone stock,two owner bike with 15,700 miles.It is in "prestine" condition.

 

Questions  for those of you that own one.Any known mechanical issues for that year or safety recalls?Which brand of tires work best on a F650?Recommended modifications?

 

Bike is a little ways from being bought,but after checking NADA values,price could be a sticky issue.Be willing to pay $500 over NADA if the bike comes with a service history,but no more.Any input will be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance
