BMW F650 in Oz
 
Hey guys,
Came to Oz from Isreal to make my dream..
planning to bye a bike.

What do you think about a 99year, 23000km BMW F650 used bike.

For going from Sydnye to Darwin via East coat, to Alice Springs and back to
Sydnye via East coast again.
By comparing riliability,spare part all over the Oz, ability to carry weight
and how easy you think is to sale one like this?

The bike is comming with paniers, do you think I should remove them for carying big bags?

Im 75kg, will ride Solo, 1 big bag like backpack, 1 small, tent and xtra gear..

Thanks

Idan

sounds like a plan
 
not too many km on the beast ,they have great economy ,and have a few little things you have to watch (waterpump) but a joy to ride (as are all bikes in different ways) if it s a good price you are happy with go and grab it ,make an offer ,you are from israel ,lol ,and enjoy , its good trip that direction this time of year if you go north, make the effort to do cape york above cairns ( the pointy bit of oz) ,amazing oh yeah ,keep the panniers ,best to have the weight low ,leave your back pack in sydney ,not a hard bike to sell either

great choice for doing the miles and bulletproof honda reliability ,price well deponds on km/s and condition, accesories ,blah, blah, blah ,but if it gets you where you want ,then its all good and you should get a fair ammount of that back when you sell
