[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1462589, member: 3828"] I recently re-joined the BMW kool-aid drinkers. Bought a well used 2003 F650GS Dakar w/ 50k miles on the clock for a princely sum of $2k. Bought it to replace the ‘93 XR650L that was last year’s winter project bike. Then this past summer my son decided that he really liked that bike, so he has adopted it. The Dakar came with nice Touratech pannier racks but no bags. I put a couple of Harbor Freight Apache cases on it ($30 ea.). Going over it from end to end over the long Vermont winter. Fixing all the little problems from prior owners. Will have to do a valve check before spring time since I have no idea when it was last done. It’s a pretty cool design with the fuel tank under the seat, air box and dry sump oil tank and battery under the faux tank. [ATTACH type="full"]6035[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
