Why a BMW? If it's the marketing about reliability, you want an R80GS. The F650 was designed by Aprillia and Rotax who taught BMW everything they now know about cheap plastic and monkey metal. Personally, if you are early in your decision I wouldn't discount anything. In particular I'd reccomend Yamaha XT's, that's the bike that I replaced the F650 with, they do everything pretty much the same but were cheaper and honestly better built.

I guess the reason I'm looking at a BMW is that I see a lot of people doing a London - Cape Town jouney on a BMW.
I'd be interested to know which XT you got / would reccommend for a long journey such as this.
