The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

Good deal on the bike, but watch out for the insurance. I got a quote on one last season and couldn't make the insurance make sense :\

This a good price? Bad price?

Maybe, but it has 41k on the clock.

Some people say the BMW Motorrad F-series parallel twins are a bit boring, so you might end up with something similar to your former Hondas.

Before owning the Triumph and the Ducati, I was actually considering the 900XR because I was happy with the brand. I used to own an F800R, and in hindsight it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great eithe; just kind of meh.

Personally, I enjoyed the Triumph triple much more, and the sound and torque of the Ducati V2 are just something else.

I think that was the previous gen of the F series before this one, that ran from like 2008ish to 2019ish, after that they got the new twin motor. 50ccs bigger and it became a 270-degree crank p-twin instead of the old dull 360-degree.

I could be totally wrong, joojel it.
 
Just broken in but light in details. :unsure:
2020 BMW F900XR

Buddy who is off looping Australia for the coming months says the Tiger triple he is riding is best bike he's owned. FWIW

The BMW might be tall for you Mimico. I did not like the ergos on my 2017 300G ...or the clutch. 32.5 " seat
Not great fuel mileage and a 15.5L tank size

I'd take a 650 Vstrom over that 900. Vstrom has a 20L or 22L tank.

I think you're right. The 650 VSTROM/VERSYS are at the top of the list.

Tiger / BMW F / Fazer / Tenere are very nice...but are much more expensive unless I go back a handful more years.

Africa Twin would be my #1...but damn the pricing!
 
'Buddy's 2017 F800 has 152000km on it.
After a recent $5800 go-over by by the dealer its probably good for another 152000km.
'The front rotors were $1000 alone.
Other items included new cam chain and valve adj., steering head bearings, all fluids, along with a few other bits and pieces...
Still needs chain and sprockets, but thats a DIY job...

The benefits of owning a Honda or a cheap brand to maintain...

But 152,000km is no small feat!

Wow, another case of a customer leaving the dealership happy...

I read the invoice. It was mostly parts.
There were a few items/repars listed as n/c.
The side stand bushing for example. Charged for the part, but no labor.
Considering that other than consumables, set of headstock bearings and a valve check this is the FIRST major service this machine has seen.
I was surprised when the shoppe told him his clutch was "fine" needing no attention.
Really?
152k and the clutch is still gtg?

$5800 sounds like a lot, but... As my buddy said.. "$5800 is the new $3200"
In any case... He's been out riding all week and I've been not, so who's the dummy here?
