1997 BMW F-650 Funduro Dual Sport

For sale is a 1997 BMW F-650 Funduro. dual sport. It is a single cylinder. liquid cooled 5 speed motorcycle. I purchased this bike from the original owner in Wisconsin. and had it shipped to New Mexico. Since then. I have put 3000 miles on it. This hard-to-find Beemer is the only motorcycle BMW ever made with chain drive. and was a collaboration among BMW. Aprilla. and Rotac. The 652 cc. 45 hp. engine was built in Austria by Rotac. and incorporated into the bike built by Aprilla; the specs were drawn by BMW. I have had the bike serviced regularly. and recently had the seat recovered. a new rear tire put on. and a new chain installed. I've also had the front forks resealed. The very first day I owned it. I dropped the bike in a friend's driveway. and the scratch marks on the front right side have never been addressed. That. and the built in kill switch attached to the side stand doesn't work. Other than that. the bike is in excellent condition and is as reliable as the sun. It comes with an aftermarket windscreen. and a rack bag. All else is original and standard. Its versatility was underlined for me on a trip through the Southwest with three friends on big road bikes. No. I couldn't keep up with them as they accelerated past ninety-five miles an hour. But they couldn't drive through Capital Reef National Park on the service roads. and had to meet me later after a seventy-five mile detour while I handily cut through the park and waited for them at the north entrance. It's a great bike. perfect for me and does everything I need a motorcycle to do. I just don't have time to ride it anymore. and consequently it sits through the riding season and doesn't get used. I want a $500. 00 deposit within five days of purchase. the balance when it is picked up. Buyer arranges pick-up. Please contact me with any questions. and please. no shenanigans.
