I did have some hopes that this thread could bring some objective feedback on the topic, but I have now given up on that aspiration.

So if a thread about "your" bike points out its faults you take your "toys" and go home?  hmmmmmmm?
I've seen plenty of objective feedback. How much documentation do you need? How specific do you want to get before you take someone's account as credible? This thread, seems to me, is not the definitive, objective tome about the F650. It's merely a casual observation of what a couple travelers' have observed. Like most threads, others chimed in. Are they not free to do so?
Ted is credible, so is Maria.
Perhaps a NEW thread is called for? Something like:
The Unbreakable F650 From Alaska To Usuhia
Be sure to include The Smelly Biker account! It's priceless!

I disagree. Many of the posters here own a F650 or have owned BMW's and some have given a thumbs up on the bike.
As for me, I have ridden and reviewed many BMW's including the F650.
The point is the majority of BMW owners I've met know next to nothing about their bikes, its history or model evolution. Most let dealers do servicing. RTW folks are a bit different. (but not for long)
