BMW Other description
2001 BMW F650GS Dakar with 1179 original miles, never abused, and tastefully modified.I purchased this bike from the original owner a couple of years ago, with roughly 700mis on it at the time.The bike has always been babied, and always maintained.That said, I have not had that much time to ride the Dakar (obviously), but when I have, it has always been exhilarating.Great sounds, wonderful riding position, and a lot of fun both on and off road.In the time that I have had the bike, I have done the following:A&S "The Big One" service kit installedYuasa batteryEBC front brake rotorDID gold chainPIAA's with custom mounts that I made (without modification to the motorcycle)SW-Motech center standDunlop 606 tires with about 150 mis on them.I also removed the majority of the decals that originally came on the bike (personal taste), I painted the gauge surround and windshield matte black, and also removed the skid plate/belly pan.With respect to collectors, though, I would be willing to include a new set of decals, the skid plate, and a new gauge surround if the reserve on the bike is met. I believe that the windshield , at least new, is no longer availableNew fork seals (uninstalled), and a very comprehensive service and repair CD, are included as well.The Dakar is cosmetically and mechanically excellent, with only 1 minor scuff on the bodywork, left of the headlamp (see photo) and 1 on the same side, but positioned below the saddle, and unseen.Otherwise, I cannot imagine a nicer 2001 Dakar that has actually been ridden, albeit occasionally, over the past 13yr.This motorcycle is the real deal, a true collectors piece. Please feel free to contact me with requests for more pictures and/or descriptive

When is a 500 Not a 500? – Question of the Day
Wed, 24 Apr 2024When it's a 451, d'uh. In our last Question of the Day, we asked about some of the more… questionable names given to motorcycles (Hondas seemed to come up fairly often in the replies, which is both interesting and somehow not surprising.) I mentioned how it’s generally safer for a manufacturer to stick to a combination of letters and numbers. While that’s generally true, apart from the occasionally comical practice of tackling on another “R” to make a model sound sportier ( looking at you again, Honda), it does bring the focus onto yet another common pet peeve: motorcycles with misleading numbers in the name.
BMW Announces Recall Campaign for K1600 Family Motorcycles
Fri, 25 Feb 2022The recall concerns all 2019-2020 BMW K1600 models due to the risk of rear suspension link failure caused by a manufacturing defect - the strength of the part does not meet the factory requirements. This linkage may be destroyed during normal road use, causing the rear of the motorcycle to fall onto the rear wheel. BMW dealers this spring will begin notifying owners of motorcycles that are subject of the recall campaign to visit an authorized dealership for a rear suspension linkage replacement.
