where have the used F650s gone?

Don't forget your towel
Considering that most sellers were looking for top dollar before the retail price drop I'm not surprised there aren't too many 650's on the market. I bought my '91 K100RS (used) right before the 1100's were introduced, what had been a decent deal was suddenly a lousy one from my stand point. It would have been too big a hit for me to sell it after that.
Traditionally this isn't a good time of year to sell bikes, too many folks are snowed in to want to buy a bike they can't ride right away. Wait until spring. It will be interesting to see how the market adjusts.

Maybe people bought 'em and really like 'em. Maybe people bought 'em and rode for a few months and parked 'em.PMARCEL said:

Perhaps a combination of both the price hit and the this suggestion too? This is one of the most versatile bikes out there, a perfect daily ride or spare ride for visiting friends and a change-up for other rides. My wife has one and even if she ever gets tired of it, which I doubt, we will probably keep it just because the bike is just too much fun.

650
I've rented a 650GS a few times. If I owned one, I would not sell it. I suspect that most 650s,which are sold, find good homes. Nice bike

Love running on one lung
Love my 2005 650CS and would not part with it. It is light, easy to push around in the garage and just plain fun to ride. I actually traded in an RT1100 which was languishing from lack of use.
Since BMW is no longer manufacturing them and they had a short production run, the 650s will become collector items that much sooner.
I suspect the new parallel twin are being positioned to replace the one lung machines.

Traded my 650 CSA in on a K1200 R
My wonderful 2003 650CSA went to www.bmwor.com or BMW Motorcycles of Western Oregon. As of 2-14-06 it is listed for sale under current inventory or previously owned. I loved my 650 but as I have only one space for a bike and was looking to move up in size I traded it for the K1200 R. It is the wildest best choice I ever made! Hot Dog!!!!

Is it just me, or does the song "Where have all the flowers gone?" go through your head every time you glance at this thread title?
I know: it's just me.

I just sold my '97 F650. I think the price drop was enough that most people selling figure it is best to just hold onto it for a spare bike. I had to get rid of one of the three bikes, so the F650 got sold for a song and dance. I had 48k miles on it and still running strong.

As a person who just purchased a used CS 650 (got it registered today and I love it), I can tell you that six people were asking more then I was willing to spend. Four of the CS 650's did not get their minimum bid, and I could not get one person to flex on the price in Cycle trader.
The seller of my motorcycle started off asking a fair price in Cycle Trader, and I did not even negotiate the price. It runs fantastic so I think the odometer was not tampered with at all.
