SonofSaturn Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Hi, i thought I would see if anyone has any advice when I look at it. He says the battery is dead, I might bring one, or try to start it with my booster pack. How much are a new set of tires for bombing mostly gravel roads? It probably needs tires. He's asking 5000.

9Mary7 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 That doesn't look at all like 5k worth of bike to me....... 1 1 Link to comment
TEWKS Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Something like this 2009 F650 GS would be a much better deal. Yeah, cast wheels but gravel roads, no problem. Edit (“KM”) you overhead ^ or overseas? Might be a little harder to direct you to a better deal. And oh yeah, nothing wrong with the bike you posted, just seems priced a little high in non running condition.

greiffster Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 5k for a 2000. lol. Maybe he could drop a hundo and get it running first. 1 Link to comment
Hosstage Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 24 year old wiring, rubber lines, brake lines, that bike will likely need quite a bit of attention, besides the new tires which will likely run close to $500 installed. $3k would be a closer number for me. JDPower has it listed at $2150. https://www.jdpower.com/motorcycles/2000/bmw/f650-652cc/values Kelley Blue Book doesn't list it. Link to comment
Hosstage Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 When is the last time it ran? How old is the fuel? The booster pack may not start it if the battery is bad. Link to comment
SonofSaturn Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 You are right, I am not going near it. I must be old, 2000 doesn't sound like 24 years ago to me. Plus the guy was super flaky 3 1 Link to comment
