New Motor Cycle BMW 650

[Jack Frost]

Has anyone any advice on the new BMW 650 M/Cycle. I am in the market for a new bike and have had a test drive on one, and found it very comfortable. But i would appreciate any observations from owners of these machines.....regarding reliability etc...

I suppose they have the shaft drive as opposed to the chain which is good for reliability & lower maintenance - much vibration on the bike??


Could you recommend a good starter bike - was thinking Honda 250 CBR??, are these still being made??

Yes,

Betsy Honda still do the CBR range, and the 250 would be an ideal commuter bike, althoug i would be more inclined to go for the CBF 500 which is equally reliable but a better driver.
