BMW 650 Funduro

Is fuel injection or carbs better?

 

Yes.

GB

 

NO

Johno <someone had to do it>

Beer?

 

Yep GB I'd like either but one's $6500 and the other's $10,500.
The injected one goes better but it's a lot more dosh.
What's the guts on fuel consumption injected vs carbs?

 

Beers's cool.
Might just tell her to buy a transalp.
It's for the g/f.
She needs a girls bike though.
BMW huh.

 

FI is the better one of the F650s. More grunt, markedly lower consumption.
Mate had a 2003 model (before his stack), under 4l/100km...2-up.
Trannie is ok, but overpriced for oooold technologie, has the bloody
HISS-system and is a veeery slow seller.
Seen deals of $10k onroad. And that's too much for what it is...
If overall size/ height isn't a problem, try the Suzie DL-650 (Wee-Strom),
again $10K onroad (after haggling), and one sweet package.

cheers

Yeh... talk to Smee, he owns a one

Johno

 

Geffugged Johnno!
BMWs are really like macho and super super cool.

 

pfffft
funduro aint a real bmw.
The donk isnt even made my bmw, just a modified rotax engine.

 

Good plan. Too many of those bloody F650s already. At least
save up for the GS-PD.

Is it for his missus to ride?

Beer Smee?

 

Macho, AND cool?
But....my g/f is only 5ft1 & a gymnast. Very petite, but longggggg
legs. She rides a Honda 125 but want's us to tour and go offroad so
I thought a Funduro might not be too macho for her. She already
has great muscles on her......from the gymnastics.. y know.

 

I reckon ten grand's tops though Sharks.
Then she's gotta buy a sleeping bag, tent, and fishing rods... for
us both of course. heh

 

Yeah...I like the DL650 too. She gets confused with the diff makes &
models so might just show her the Funduro and strom. cheers

 

F650GS has bits available to lower it for shortarses as a factory option.
That's got to be an advantage. A friend of ours has a lowered G650GS and
she loves it, probably 5'2". Bought it from someone here on aus.moto
actually.

The Tranny has a lowered seat available, ask Pat he's got one, very wide
seat though. Not particularly low. Anyway his Tranny will be for sale soon
when he buys the Hornet.

Cylinder Head is all BMW. So probably the piston too.

I did say it was a modified rotax engine.

 

So's the Pegaso, they changed the cyl head too, but 5 valve compared to the
BMs 4 valve(which makes more power).

This rotax engine has been in a few bikes now.

No mate, for Smee - only because he rides like a sheila...


Johno

Ta for the beer

 

U r welcome Johno

Ya reckon Suzie (my g/f) might be ok with an R11 then?
Easy to ride, not too fast, and ok on the motorway.
So, wot's it like offroad ?
