So I finally pulled the trigger on a “new” bike. I have owned a 2016 Triumph Street Triple since new, but never bonded with it after 5 years and 25K miles. It never gave me a bit of trouble, but was frankly boring and uncomfortable for long trips. Only somewhat fun if you played Racer-Boy on it, so I was pretty sure it would kill me one day. The Triumph is now gone. Replaced with a 1999 BMW F650 Funduro. A 650 cc thumper with the 19” front spoked wheel and dual sport tires. Enough luggage space to supply a regiment. These early F650s were actually made by Aprilia in Italy. Thus now all my running bikes are Italian—Guzzi V7, Ducati 900SS, and now my little Funduro.
Very nice, Sir Ed. Looks like fun. What is that thing?Anomaly. (What a great screen name). Thanks for the info. Currently my Moto Guzzi V7 is my favorite bike, but I must say the Funduro is growing on me. Totally different experience of course. Fantastic gas mileage for one thing
The F650 is similar. Single cylinder 4 valve head with two carbs. Each carb feeds its own intake valve. Not sure I understand why it’s done that way. 2 spark plugs as well.
