GreetingsWell I have been lurking here for a little while, getting lots of info on the bikes  😉I have been a rider for a while of another brand, and have always thought about a BMW for a number of reasons really.However I went on a ride with a few others a few weeks back and it was on this ride that I decided that these bikes were up to the punishment that I would throw at them  🙂So yesterday I went out and purchased a 2005 F650GS, I would of loved a new one, but as I had to skimp and save for this, a good used one will suit me just fine. 😀I intend to use it for the tarmac and gravel roads.I have met a few of you and look forward to meeting with the rest of you sometime soonRegards Scott
