Ratcliffe on here has/ had one, he's not on here too often but it might be worth dropping him a PM. From what I hear they're supposed to be a good bit of kit though, with the only real flaw being that the finish isn't quite up to usual BMW quality.

I honestly couldn't tell you, best to speak to someone who has one. However, as a simple single I can't see any engine work being expensive, and BMW's dealer aftersales service is known for being the best. The winner of Ride Magazines dealer of the year is almost always a Beemer dealer.

Being a beemer owner the servicing from the dealer is the best I have ever had, it's also the most expensive. Thats why I service my own bike now, the parts are not expensive its the labour. Shocked

The Funduro is the F650 Funduro. More off road and chain drive where the Scarver is more road and also belt drive Wink

I've seen early ones going for about £700, which may make it a bike I'd consider as a runaround... Thinking
