Bad Points: OEM saddle for masochists. Changed to custom Corbin to raise inseam height to 34". Invisible - added PIAA's on BMW OEM Bracket, Added Hyperlight brake. Pricey new, holds vlaue - even with customization. I;ve been offered more for bike than I paid, especially due to current US gas prices.
General comments: Nimble, Forgiving of rider error. Great turn radius. Simple design always begs the question: "That's a BMW?" Great conversation starter at meets.
Best beginner bike money could buy for advanced rider who did not want to leave a $25,000 toy in garage 75% of time. 2005 with 2600 miles. Cheaper than a therapist for short rides just ot let go for a little while.

I think the BMW F650 CS is a bike solely aimed to the town rider (especially if you live in London like me).
The vibrations are just too excessive for long motorway journeys. But if you mostly going to be using it for short bursts or in town, it is perfect.
Basic design and engine means nothing ever goes wrong, solid engine long intervals between services. I loved it as a town bike.
Plus it kept its price very well.

The BMW F650 CS is a very excellent and economic bike for everyday use. It has a very solid and serious mono cylinder engine. It has excessive engine vibrations on motorways.

Being a female and a girly one at that it has been sooo hard to find the right bike for me at 6 ft. tall. I have really enjoyed the ease of ride as I have taken on motorcycling in the last few years. But I sure do not find it easy to keep up with the hubby's busa on my BMW F650 CS!

I think it was in '98, a BMW 650 "Funduro" (a dumb name, the more so because it is not an enduro).
I don't recall now if they put a counterbalance weight in to dampen the single cylinder vibration, but whatever they did it was very smooth (and powerful)for a single. You could go up to 85 mph and it was steady and still had reserve.
The amenities included a lockable tool
compartment with tools under the seat.
The seat was comfortable for its class.
I turned it in for a '99 1100 RT. ...
