There was a TV series "The Long Way Down," in which actors Ewan McGregor and Charley Borman made ​​a trip on the Trans Continental BMW 1150GS Adventure.BMW sales grew during the night, but the 1150 and 1200GS bikes were too big toAnnette so we had a look at the BMW F650GS. It 'was a single-cylinder 649ccmotorcycle that was a big, strong and heavy. We bought second hand and had the seat changed version "high". Annette has long legs so high motorcycles are never aproblem. The bike was imported to this country from Germany by the dealer and, therefore, had changed the clocks showing MPH UK spec. This meant that when we took the bike that was 7 miles, which shows the clock but actually had the equivalentof 3000 miles in Germany. It 'proved to be a great bike and I made ​​many a comfortable trip to Liverpool, only having to stop for fuel rather than having to stop to revive some feeling in my gluteus maximus, which had always been like this before.Unusually the fuel tank sat under the meaning given that the bike had a low center ofgravity and the fuel cap was on the side of the seat. The driving position is excellent and we were sitting above the traffic that offered a good view. I actually took off the road once on some forest tracks, one of which was a bit 'too far down for my taste,but the bike ran well. It would sit happily at 90 mph on highways and even though he was only a cone, it was enough to deflect the windblast. Now has 2 single-cylinderbikes, because the CCM404 mentioned above was still in our "stable". Made senseto swap the JCC at this point, so after a couple of years of service is the CCM was the next to go.
