BMW F 650 Funduro (1995)

The BMW F 650 Funduro – a game-changer in the world of motorcycling. This four-stroke, single-cylinder, DOHC marvel boasts 4 valves per cylinder, delivering a unique blend of power and character.

The Funduro’s price point is where things get really interesting. With a cost barely exceeding half that of the R1100RS, it’s a clear winner in the value stakes. In fact, it’s only £140 more than Honda’s NX650 Dominator, a price difference that’s sure to evaporate as the yen’s strength forces Honda to raise prices.

But it’s not just the price that’s impressive – the F 650’s chassis is a masterclass in design and engineering. With a steel frame that uses the engine as a stressed member and a steel deltabox swing-arm that’s suitably rigid, this bike is a roadster’s dream come true. Add to that 170mm of axle movement at the front and 165mm at the rear, and you have a machine that handles like a dream.

Whether you’re a seasoned rider or just starting out, the F 650 Funduro is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a reliable and practical roadster. With its wide and clear mirrors, broad dual-seat, and four-gallon tank, this bike is designed to be ridden, not just shown off. And with its impressive range of over 150 miles, you can enjoy the freedom of the open road without worrying about running out of fuel. The BMW F 650 Funduro – a motorcycle that’s as fun to ride as it is to own.
