Looking for new Bike....

[Sgt.trip]

Hey folks

im looking for a new motorbike!!

if you guys know of anyone selling a BMW F650 GS, 2000 to 2004 model!! then let me know.
in ACT, NSW, or VIC, all you other slackers are too far away. cause i live in the ACT and dont wanna travel to get it!



i have a kawasaki GPX 250 07 model which i have been learning on and will be looking to sell soon too if anyone is interested.

:D

A bmw? :S

I got a yamaha :p

One of my old mans mates just bought a new bmw daka type bike for $29,000.

Try ebay, and tradingpost.com.au

[Sgt.trip]

he must of got the GS 1200 which is not the dakar

the F650 gs "dakar" (the one used in dakar, lighter then 1200 or 1150) is only about 15,000

but there is a new 800 coming out for a mid range, im guessing that will be used in next yrs dakar.

Here's the bike you need mate.
KTM 660 (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/KTM-660-Rally-Dakar-motorcycle-collectors-item-enduro_W0QQitemZ1201 98734316QQihZ002QQca tegoryZ102690QQtcZph otoQQssPageNameZWDVW QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem )

This is a rare bike, less than 30 are hand made in Austria each year and an 07 model will set you back $47,000.00

Oh and if you like the Adventure bikes, start drooling at all the trips on these 2 sites
ADV Rider (http://www.advrider.com/forums/)
Horizions Unlimited (http://www.horizonsunlimite d.com/)

Both will make you want to chuck in you job and go riding around the world for a few years.

Apparently penny farthings really impress the chicks...

i would but a 2nd hd f650 is about 6000 to 10000, more in my price range and im on P's so i need a learner legal bike the BMW is!

[CDN-SMOKEJUMPER]

Go Honda, you'll not regret it, ever.

[Sandy_Beret]

Triumph would be my choice. Style over flash.

[Sgt.trip]

LOL yeah the tiger are nice, the KTM are Great but so are BMW's, they are still the leading manufacture in Off road/dual purpose tourers

[CDN-SMOKEJUMPER]

Triumph would be my choice. Style over flash.

I can't fault you there, not at all. Beautiful machine that.

[Tubby]

Honda don't have an adventure bike worth buying, I've had Honda Motorcross bikes and the odd fireblade or two but for adventure bikes it's KTM or BMW all the way.


I really like the late model Triumphs, never owned one but would easily make some space in my garage for one.

Not heard about that one. I know they have their 'Transalp'

I'm still a big fan of the KTM's. Since I first got on one about 4 years ago I havent bought anything else, for the dirt that is.

Noddy I am in Weston Creek... actually Weston itself... blah
Weston is not a place... it's a state of mind... No Country and Weston music for me though.
All's Quiet on the Weston Front...

[Noddy]

lmao... in holder here...so yes you're right weston is a vicinity... and we must be west of somewhere...

[ACC1]

he must of got the GS 1200 which is not the dakar

Yeah he brought it over the other day, very shiney silver. But I reckon no bikes worth paying $28k.

And my old man mentioned it was a 1.1 or 1.2.

For me, my wr250 does the job ;) It eats tight fire trails.

[Sandy_Beret]

lmao... in holder here...so yes you're right weston is a vicinity... and we must be west of somewhere...

I used to work at the old High School in Holder... until
I had to quit in November...
So - you are West of Weston, technically...
now, if I only had a JDAM strike handy
