Just got back from a two week tour to Hungary where I mostly stayed with friends, camped and used hostels. I've got two weeks off in November and am thinking about going to Spain. Away from the cost it might be too cold to camp, so I was thinking about cheap hotels and private rooms...

Hi everyone I´d been away from biking for seven years, I had to sell my last bike (CBR600) to fund the removal expenses to Spain, but have just bought a 650 Dakar, 5 years old and with only 1700 miles which will be much more suited to the terrain here, I live with my wife on the border between...

Hi, I joined this forum some months ago to read and learn about BMW F650GS. I am also an active member of the gstrail.es forum in Spain. So now I am the proud owner of a Dakar'07 machine i use everyday to go to work to Madrid and during the weekends to enjoy the countryside. I bought my Dakar...

Hi I have been to the Pyrenees a few times in the last couple of years - sadly without the bike, so that is on the cards for this June. Does anyone know how to get good deals on the ferries? It is a long haul thru' France and I'd prefer to get to Spain and go. From the prices I saw it's almost...

Happy Christmas to all on F650.co.uk from Southern Catalunya. Now is the time to plan those lovely tours in warmer climes. :riding: If you are planning to ride down the Med coast through Catalunya, stop by at Mas de Barberans for a Steak and a glass of Vi Negre with the Pondpeople...

Hola, I'm taking the Dakar for it's 3rd trip through Northern Spain. Trouble is, previously I went in May and October; in August the responses I'm getting to my booking enquires are a mixture of "we are full" or "minimum of 3 (or even 7!) nights stay in peak season". That's no good to...

Hello All. I am new to this motorbike game and am planning a trip to Spain (Catral just north of Murcia) to see my folks at the end of April. Am going to take my time getting there and camp in France and Spain. Any advice as to any preperations I might need to to do or good routes, camp sites...

You may think you are hard done by in the Uk when buying secondhand bikes but here in Barcelona they seem to hold their price very well, especially BMW's. Just went down to my local dealer and they are selling a 1998 FS650ST (30,000 kms) for 3600 Euros or (2700 pounds at current exchange rates)...

I am starting a new job in Spain (four year contract) in November and have been told that if I want to take my BMW 650cs out there I will have to change it to Spanish plates within a month, which apparently can be a costly process. Has anybody on this forum gone through this process? I have...

Has anyone done any touring on their F650GS ? Because I am off to Spain on it in two weeks time, and just wondered how other people got on with them.

Thought some of you might be interested in a trip I made recently to Spain and Portugal. Although it wasn't as adventerous as some of the journeys described on this website it was good fun and the CS showed what a good all round bike it is. It handled very well on some of the twisty mountain...
