As much as I love this bike, I don’t see myself using it much this year. Once Hubby retires at year’s end, I don’t want to pay to store it while we roam the country in our RV. Spring is generally the best time to sell motorcycles, too.
So, if any of you know anyone in the market for a gently used and well-cared-for 2010 BMW F650GS, please let me know.
It’s carried me, faithfully, on many grand adventures, that’s for sure. The video below provides a virtual ride-along for prospective buyers.
It is completely sound, mechanically speaking and never gave me a minute of worry. The battery is brand-new and the tires don’t have much mileage on them either.
Weather permitting, I would not hesitate to take it for a long ride. It’s great for zipping along twisty, curvaceous mountain roads. If the buyer is local, I can even offer some great route plans.
It has never been crashed, but it did get dropped (as in fell over) a couple of times.
Asking $4,875. Mileage is currently 28,203.
Features include: ABS; heated grips; on-board computer; BMW trunk, side bags/panniers, and mounting brackets; aftermarket windscreen and seat cover.
Please share on forums, with friends, etc. I’d appreciate the assistance. There’s a company, similar to Carvana but for bikes, that we thought about using, but the prices they offer are rock-bottom and, quite frankly, a little insulting. I would rather give it away than hand it off to a re-seller for $2,000!
I might even be willing to ride it to the buyer’s location as long as they can get me back home (drive me themselves, pay for plane fare, bus or train ticket, or rental car). All reasonable offers and options will be considered.
