I've said it somewhere else so i'll look it up and copy and paste back on here

EDIT: Found it.

My dad used to the F650 1997 model.

He rode it back to England from here as he was sure it was that bullet proof.

He wasn't wrong, not a single hiccough on the 14,000 km journey except the sidestand kill switch playing up in the last country...Germany, home of BMW!

We're doing a round the world trip in a couple of years, i'll be on a F650 Dakar and he'll be on the XR400

It's a Rotax. Same as, well, loads of bikes. dull as ditchwater.

capable, reliable, comfy.. won't set the world alight in terms of performance,but if you're looking at buying one, then it's likely high-performance isn't a major criteria, so ignore the comments about them being "owned" on the road.

decent bikes
