They're a pain to fix. Nothing is easy to get at on the F650 GS. Just about any job involves removing loads of fairings/panels.

Eg: An oil & filter change involves draining 3 separate areas (including taking the left hand panel off to get to the oil tank in the faux petrol tank).

There are very few "5 minute jobs" - replacing the rear light bulb is the only one I can think of!

As for changing the spark plugs.....that was a complete pain, involving taking off the seat & the panels and the air intake watchamacallit.

To complete my World trip, I'll probably be looking at the Suzuki DR400.

For now, once I get the Beemer back I'll be on the look out for a gixxer 600 or similar (K1 model or later).

I think we should have this thread deleted quickly! Too much harley love going on

That raptop is hideous! I just can't see it at all! I'd rather have a Honda cub!

And yeah, BMW bikes are so unreliable it's amazing they can charge what they do for them.

I feel guilt after commuting on my ZX7R this morning I need my SV back - speeds just too high.

I already HAVE a Scooter (a 7 year old tatty lump).......and I use it wayyyyyyyy more than my 2 month old SV

Am thinking of selling the SV to get a new Scooter (for the commute).....and also a Blackbird (for fun)
