Hello everybody, I have since Saturday a F650 ST from 1998 in a unique coloursetting. It has only done 13.000km ( about 8.000mls) and it rides perfect. To collect it i had a nice drive through the pooring rain for 150km. Good testdrive!!!! I will post a picture very soon, so you see the nice colour.

Hiya Folks... Just been reading a post in F650 Sinlge area about clutch and setting it up based on your position and it got me thinking... How many of us have actually ever set our bikes up... AND... for those who have not what are the things that need to be looked at... Personally, only...

Would like to say hi and ask all your expert advice. I actually joined this forum mainly for advice, I have at the moment got a Kawasaki ER5 which for the most part is has been a good work horse, had it for 6 years comuting to and from work in all weathers (only 6 inches of snow stopped me)...

Aghhh :? I'm sure your all aware of the 'biker nod' or wave. Well, I've only been riding on road for just under 2 years, but it didn't take long to realise that bikers like to nod at each other as they go past. Its something I've begun to like, cos it makes you feel part of a community...

I have just splashed out on a new tomtom rider for my 650gs,but am at a loss as to where and how would be the best place to fit the tomtom . Any idea's guy's and gall's. If you had a tomtom rider where and how would you fit it to YOUR gs. renagade

hi new to this site ,looking to buy a f650 gs ,what is my best bet a 2000 to reg with low milage or a 2004 with high milage looking to spend around £2,500

Now that grabbed your attention ! Once again we see mis-representation by the media, no wonder we get such bad press, and not all of it is deserved. When's the last time we saw "bikers egg run for sick kids" or some other worthy story in the mainstrean news. :wall: :wall: Anyway the...

hi all know this comes up now and then, but could someone give me some pics (PM me if its easier?) of what there tomtom rider looks like mounted on the bike. What are the best options? Handle bars.... or has anyone done anything better? Thats for a GS by the way. Thanks V.

Good Day I just swapped My KTM 950 S for A F650 GS., 03 for a 06. I have say I like the difference, and the newer bike. It's way under powered but , I am happy with the speed. I digress I am 6'3" And I am getting the standard saddle repleced with a Dakar Saddle. What else can I do to adjust...

Well I have jsut bought myself the new 2nd eddition Tom Tom Rider and it fits onto my F650 Funduro like a glove. its got loads of new stuff compared to the old one and its had the vibration problems sorted out that the 1st one had. All in all it cost £399 but I think its worth it.

Just got round to looking at this month's copy of RIDE. The F650 "Classic" doesn't even figure in the ratings - I guess there weren't enough replies. However, I've managed to be the sole F650 representative on the BMW owner's pictures page!

Just say thanks for stopping, you went past the first time and noticed me and then had to come all the way back northbound and come southbound again to get to me. It was a great display of why I like biking so much so this ones for you :thanks2: :howdy: I was heading south from Leeds to my...

Thought I'd post my experiences on the TT Rider V2 having used it for just over a fortnight; Purchased from www.handtec.co.uk for £336 - cheapest I could find on the web, let me know if you fare better. As claimed in the adverts, installation of the unit on the bike is very easy with the RAM...

No, not that sort of wind !! I have recently passed my test and love riding my CS but find that being buffetted by the wind at high (!) speed (I'm too embarrassed to tell you exactly how unfast I mean) - :howdy: both head on and side wind is very disconcerting. Do you think that a higher...
