F650

Not quite a Ducati, but my dad has just bought a new BMW F650. He hasn't picked it up yet as there are very few in the country.

So if anyone wants to buy a good 1985 Cagiva Allazura, I know one for sale

I thought you were talking about this F-650. I was going to start a thread about it and saw this one and thought someone had beat me to it.

This is some serious truck
Caterpillar® 3126B Diesel 300HP/860 lbs.ft. torque
Allison MD 3066 electronic control 6-speed adaptive shift, double overdrive automatic transmission .The wheelbase is 194". Its one huge truck.

I want one.

Now THAT is a Big Truck

Bloody hell! I might have to put a few mortgages on the oldies home, I want one!

...it's probably bigger than our house anyways...

Well, you could use the truck to just yank your current house right off the foundation, and drag a mansion over the property!

Gah, frightens me that anyone would actually want something _that_ huge for personal use!

wow, that thing is on steroids

I know I've seen some big F series trucks towing sprintcar trucks over the countryside. Plenty space for all of the crew, comfortable, and pulls like a gorilla..

that thing is the size of friggen moby dick(the whale)

coln72 · 19 Dec 2002, 08:59 (Ref:453244)

Dont think it would fit in my driveway!!!

How did I know someone would mention Fords? And I didn't know about the Ford F650 but I did think about the lower numbers.

elephino.

A couple of friends have F650s and have been rapt. One has had his for five years and no problems. Have you got your bike license? Because in NSW, they are a Learner Approved Motocycle.

elephino · 22 Dec 2002, 10:17 (Ref:455350)

Are they? Hmm...I'll have to remember to mention that to my dad

I don't have my bike licence, but I keep thinking about it.

Rode the Vtr to work today,first ride in 2 months.The sound of the twin is addictive not sure if I could give it up!

It's not the Dakar, it's the most road going version they have I think. Still good enough to be ridden on dirt nicely but without the robustness that the Dakar has.

From what my dad says, he enjoys it immensly. Even took it on a dirt road that would have had the Cagiva all over the place but the F650 handled it beautifully.
