Looking for a F650GS

Good condition, Good price, Low Km's

sorry no bike to offer but nonetheless welcome here

Hi there!!

I am planning on selling mine!!!

Just a few notes on my bike.

2006 F650GS - Silver
ABS and Heated Grips
68500km - I will get the 70k service done before I sell.
Full Service History by Bavarian
I am putting on new sprockets and chain before I sell

Extras: Included with the sale of the bike:
Brackets for Soft Luggage
Additional heat shields for both exhausts
Set of Kappa Soft Luggage (Side-panniers and Rear-bag)
BMW Tank-bag
3 x knobbly rear tyres (Conti TKC80 / Mich T63 / MaxxisM6006)
1 x knobbly front tyre (Metzler Karoo)

Bike history:
I bought it new from BMW Lifestyle in Midrand in Aug 2006. I was the only owner of the bike.
The bike has mostly been used for commuting, hence the km’s. Off-road riding, it has done Sani Pass, Mozambique (mostly tar, and a bit of sand), the 2008 GS Challenge (did not fall), and a trip to the Drakensberg escarpment (Tar/Dirt roads – not heavy off-road). I have also done a number of Club rides and day rides in and around Pretoria on a mix of tar and dirt (no heavy off-roading)
Spills I had:
The bike never had a crash.
I had two spills in mud, at very slow speed – no damage
I had four spills in sand, also at slow speed, small scratch on tank from my boot.
Dropped it once on a slippery and wet dirt road – no damage

I will upload some pics later tonight, but here are some pics so long:

Many club and forum members have seen my bike, so feel free to ask some questions.

I will wash it, don’t worry.......
My reason for selling is that I rode the F800GS on a club ride to Rooiberg, and I loved the 800. I now just need to test drive a 1200GS, then I will make up my mind, either 1200 or 800, time will tell.

Asking price: R 55,000 highly neg

Let me know,

I can vouch for Sharkie's bike. Only ridden by old lady, never been off-road

Juffrou aan klas : wie het Jerigo se mure laat val?

Ettiene : wassie ekkie Juffrou

baie ontstelt neem die juffrou Ettiene na die hoof en vertel hom van Ettiene se antwoord.

Hoof: Juffrou ek ken Ettiene baie goed, ek ken sy ouers en sy grootouers en as hy sê dit was nie hy nie, dan was dit nie hy nie



......as Ettiene sê sy bike is goed.......dan is hy goed

Thanks everyone for the quick response and support. Kilometers bit too high for me, I should have mentioned it in the first place.

Keep it going! I'm not in a hurry. The right one will come my way.

hmmm - I think I sense a new 1200GS owner in the Club in the near future...

I think you might be right.

The more I think about it the more it makes sense to buy a good 2nd hand 1200GS with panniers, than a new 800GS with all the added protection. Assuming looking at about R110k.

But like I said, time will tell.

I finally got My Toy!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Very nice.......

Many happy and safe miles

Wonderful!!!
Is it just me? I cant see your toy!?

I can see it, but I re-loaded the link. Let me know if you still can't see it

Congratulations! May you have many safe and wonderful miles!!!

Man, you're gonna love that bike! Ride safe!

(sighs and rolls eyes @ admin) - you of all people should be able to see the toy...

MLady, he looks stunning - when are you joining us on a GS trip? Looks like you have the right tires fitted!

Congratulations & enjoy every moment.

Very pretty. Looks fantastic. Many happy and safe km on (him,her,it)

Sweet ride,

Well done and congratulations !!!!

You will love this bike, now you should join the club on the Loskop Dam GS Ride on Sunday 5 April.

Congrats and welcome

Thanks all for the warm welcome!
