Some F650GS pics

[JonM]

My fiancee took the MSF course last year and earlier this year we bought her a bike. F650GS (the new twin engine). Lowered suspension and lowered seat which made it fit her perfectly. It was a demo and it had been dropped, which is also perfect for a new rider. I am not in to the whole off road/dual sport thing (yet) but she is from Eastern Washington and was laser-focused on dual sports.

Very nice. I have always liked the 650. I hope to get a BMW bike someday after selling my Honda.

Also not into the dual purpose bikes, but it looks nice!

Yea, neither am I. They look kinda funky. Not my style. But I do agree with this is one of the nicest ones I've seen.

I wasn't in to them either, but now I am thinking about it. The guys who ride R1200GS' swear that they handle great in paved twisties. They are sort of a do-everything bike. I will look at one for sure when it comes time to replace my daily rider.

I believe it! But I'm not gonna lie, looks play a large role in what I like and what I don't, (after performance of course) :D

My g/f is taking the MSF course next month.

Talk about "laser focused", all she has her eyes on is a Harley. (Her dad and uncles all ride "Milwaukee Iron"). :thumbup:

that is a sweet ride and really unique.

I could possibly start to like the look of the GS bikes... the functionality makes them pretty.

Didnt one of you guys mention that all the BMW bikes had a drive shaft instead of a chain?:dunno:

The F650GS looks like it has a chain to me?:confused::dunno:

BMW F bikes are either chain or belt drive.

Traditionally however, BMWs are shaft drive. K and R bikes are.

I agree! I just drove my friends Enduro today, I could let the physical appearence slide a little bit if I could take shortcuts through the fields!
