Agreed.Grey Thumper wrote:I was seriously considering getting one of these, and I think it's still one of the most practical bikes in BMWs line up (great fuel economy, and if we're being honest, enough off-pavement capability for maybe 90% of the riders who end up buying either the F800 or R1200 GSes).
It just lacks the "gotta have it" factor for the cool wall though. I still voted it cool, but if I was shopping around for a middleweight, mostly-pavement adventure bike these days, I'd either spend less and get a used Versys, or wait for the Triumph Tiger 800.
I voted cool because it lacks the sexiness that it needs to have in order for it to be awesome. It's a decent enough looking bike though and would be a great all-rounder so definitely deserves to be cool on the Cool Wall.
I still do not understand the 650cc name even though it has an 800cc engine... that's just damn confusing!!!
