    Just finished restoring an identical 98. I had the same 99 when I was in my mid 20s. Rode it across Canada at one point. Great solid reliable bike. Simple to work on and it’s very versatile. Real mutt of a bike. Engine by Austria with some design changes by BMW. Assembled in Italy by Aprilia with lots of Italian made parts on it. And designed by BMW. Only weak points are a water pump that needs shaft and seal replacement every 50k or so depending on the bike and your coolant maintenance. And the voltage rectifiers liked to fail. The fix for that is a cheap eBay used rectifier from the newer BMW F650GS. Did that to mine and it charges perfectly.

    I just bought this bike with only 5000 km (3106 Miles). The previous owner bought it in 1997 and never rode it. Has always been inside so no rust. nothing. Bike looks brand new. Very happy with the 650

    Your dash looks the same as my 1998 f650, do you have a low fuel light?

    Very sharp looking bike. Gorgeous des paint job. For being 24 years old, it's mileage that you mentioned, is next to none. Literally; looks like a brand new bike, fresh out of the crate. The fact that it has 30 more horsepower than a KLR 650, and also an XR 650, tells you that bike has quite a bit of power. 30 more hp, makes a big. Difference. I saw Junior pass by, riding a wheelie on his Sure Ron Bike. 😂😂

      That's one sharp looking bike. Beautiful paint job. For being a 24 year old bike, it was very well kept, and with the very low mileage on it, having already been broken in, that bike has so much life left to it. I saw Jr. ride by, doing a wheelie, on his Suron Bike, in the beginning! 🤣🤣
