2005, BMW F650 Dakar

Description

2005, MW Dakar - Checked out, nd exceptionally clean.

My Dakar is extraordinarily clean, nd comes with a set of powder-coated Jesse Luggage. The ’05 Dakar is one of the most popular Dakars ever built. It’s the twin-sparkplug version with the Austrian-built Rotax motor in it. My bike has been very well maintained by a professional motorcycle mechanic. It’s low-mileage, t only 20,995. - I am the second owner and got it from a retired guy in Oklahoma. I kind of have the same problem he had… - Even though I’m a stout 70, t’s still too much for me. My loss is your gain.

The guy I got it from bought it brand new, nd always had it “dealer-serviced” with fresh oil and filters, very 3,000 miles - always with Mobil-1 synthetic. When I got it, did the same. – It has a set of new NGK spark plugs, ew K & N oil/air filter, adiator recently flushed, nd replaced with new BMW coolant. Brakes flushed and new Dot-4 added. - All nuts/bolts/and fasteners were checked and either tightened up or (where necessary) torqued to factory specs. There are no leaks of ANY kind, NY-where. Going with the bike is all my service manuals and documents. The ONLY blemish on the bike is a slightly scraped right pannier. Also, f I was going to keep it long-term, ‘might’ put fresh tires on it, ust for the ‘confidence-factor’ alone. I’d say there’s about 70% life still in them.

I had the bike returned to ‘Factory Specs’ with new:

-brake pads, ront/rear
-bearings, ront/rear
-spark plugs, NGK-iridium)
-K & N air filter
-K & N oil filter
-Mobil-1 Synthetic oil

I added the following “after-market” parts: ($1,210)
-after-market ‘D.I.D’ ‘gold’ chain - $110
-after-market “SuperSprox” rear sprocket - $125
-after-market “SuperSprox” front sprocket, ith 17 cogs (for better mileage) – I get 60+ MPG at about- $ 55
70 miles per hour.
-after-market light-bar with PIAA 1100X Platinum Lamps attached. - $275
-after-market ‘aluminized’ steel engine guard - $250
-after-market “Denali (extra-loud) horn - $120
-after-market MRA smoked windscreen with lip - $275

Here’s how “Motorcycle News” magazine (a motorcycle reference magazine) put it…
“…Competent and confidence-inspiring, 650Dakar has passion. The suspension’s sound and precise and you barely feel the weight when you’re tipping it into corners; it holds the road well. The gears “click in” and there’s zero play in throttle response. It’s a very stable ride; excellent in town and on the trails.

The BMW F650 Dakar isa work horse and power house in one, eat package. With loads of torque, here’s power right through the rev range, aking you from town, o country to motorways with relative ease. The BMW F650's smooth delivery makes for easy riding and it’s tried and tested, roviding practically effortless riding. A very reliable and inspiring motorcycle.

Top notch, asically; with a sturdy body, reat finish and excellent aftersales service, here’s not a lot to complain about on this motorcycle. Consistent and reliable, he BMW F650 Dakar probably has more mileage potential in it than the average rider. Thesemotorcycles are built to last… and they do.

It’s not a budget motorcycle, specially if you want to add any extras, ut you’re paying for quality and, o some extent, eace of mind. Furthermore, he BMW F650 Dakar provides a lot of miles to the gallon and sits in insurance group 9, hich won’t break the bank. A safe, obust choice, hey hold their price well…” – Chris Myers
