Some background info on the bike:
Original Owner
11,000km, centre stand and ABS
Originally purchased in Germany (Hail the motherland)
Was shipped to Winnipeg in a crate, some scratches to end bar, mirror and turn signal housing.
Was shipped again to Toronto (At this point, has probably been transported more KMs that actually ridden
Belt has never been changed
No mention of any electrical issues or rear wheel bearing being replaced
I had a 2007 F800ST, and still would if I didn't get hit by pickup truck. The Canadian spec bikes are actually closer to the European ones, the US ones have a bunch of different parts.
It has a pretty comfortable riding position, although mine had bar risers on it, but I'm pretty tall. If you're doing long distance on it, you're going to want to do something about the seat, there's not a lot of padding in the rider's position.
The drive belt costs $450 for the part alone, but it is easy to swap. There are no after-market ones available on this side of the pond. BMW says they are good for 40,000, but some people like having a spare for long distance.
Overall it's a pretty low maintenance bike. BMW worked out most of the kinks that plagued the earlier models.
