prodigy350 · 01-09-2005, 03:09 AM

bikecrazy · 01-09-2005, 04:05 PM

yea, its not all about sports bikes they look at bikes which can do everything..and u cant ask for a more complete bike than the Beemer

lovemax · 01-11-2005, 04:44 PM

Yea, but bikecrazy in wht all respects did it beat all other bikes.
Beemers got power but its unlikely to beat R1 in straight road speeds.
still wondering abt it.

bikecrazy · 01-12-2005, 12:48 PM

as i said its not all about straight line speeds or out and out acceleration..they look at bikes which can do everything.. from sports riding to off road to just commuting to touring.. the beemer can do all that .. the R1 cant..

lovemax · 01-12-2005, 06:07 PM

Though u have got me going crazy for 650F....
Beemer still has a impression on my head..might b a second hander would still settle me down for a long time.

rajazz · 01-13-2005, 08:43 AM

Nothing beats a beamer in being a all-rounder...their reliability is awesome & no wonder most long distance tourers like to ride on them usually...speed & power is adequate...to me the looks r pretty radical & I welcome vanguard stuff...& hell, I have hardly come across any dissatisfied owner of a beemer!
Way to go BMW...& thnx for the info bikecrazy...

Does anyone knows : how mch a 650F would cost, second hand.. In delhi.
A rough estimated figure less than 1.5L [?]

can't beat beamers, but they're just to darn expensive. a f650 costs like us$ 8500.
