BMW F650 rip off?

[Taz]

Hows this for a complete BMW scarver rip off?? Not very dual purpose either. Did bmw sell all their old scarver rolling frames (minus engines)to the chinese??

God, that is one odd looking bike - and I used to have a Scarver! Don't know why they are advertising it as dual purpose as this doesn't look like it is and the Scarver wasn't anyway.

I wonder if BMW will do anything about it? The name Cruiser is a bit sad for a start!

[Ixion]

'S still cheap for a 250 twin, if it can be registered.

[R6_kid]

Perhaps take it for a test ride over to Experience BMW and see what they say!

[YLWDUC]

Well, it's as ugly as your average Beemer. And a 250cc? what a piece of junk.

[YellowDog]

I am sure that it will be as well made as the other bikes out of China.

I don't think I would buy an unregistered used bike that had not yet passed compliance.

[jaymzw]

Thats almost as ugly as every other BMW i've seen in my life, almost

Bikes match their riders.

The pretty boys (or those that fancy the pretty boys) ride pretty Hondas, the (soi disant) beautiful people ride Harleys to go with their beautiful lattes. BMWs are for us stringy tough ugly old bastards.

:spanking:

& you say that & ride a CBR :rofl:

[megageoff76]

Only a 3 month warranty on a brand new bike? It much be top notch quality.

[thepom]

Man,you have to be so gay to ride a scarver....and why would you?

[jaymzw]

& you say that & ride a CBR :rofl:

I ride a bike which is compliant with the Restricted License that i hold. Soon though i'll be a squid on a GIXXER :2guns:

And everyone knows my CBR is SHEXY!!!

Your 1150GS looks like this guy :blink::blink::blink:

Your 1150GS looks like this guy :blink::blink::blink:

Congrats i say,thought only BMW could make a bike that fugly.:shifty:

[nudemetalz]

Just as well it has an "alarm installed"..... :lol:
Someone would steal it?

[quickbuck]

Tyre sizes: 110/70-16; 140/70-16

The front tyre might be obtainable in NZ.....
But good luck finding a rear.

[ukusa]

I'd give that chinese rip-off copy piece of crap about 6 months before it starts falling apart. The guy selling is so confident of quality his warranty doesn't even last that long.

[Beemer]

Is it being sold privately or through a dealer? I'd be reluctant to buy something untested for that price.

The Scarver wasn't ugly - although it did polarise people, they either loved it or hated it. The only guy who told me it was "the ugliest thing" he'd ever seen was a short, fat, bearded prick who obviously hadn't looked in the mirror that morning!

[Muppet]

I don't like it!

[Beemer]

I see the price has dropped significantly. I can't recall what it was, but think it was close to $6000 but now it's $3500.

[jim.cox]

what a mess

Its almost ugly enough to be a BMW

[Supermac Jr]

the number plate isn't even straight!!!! true workmanship! I'm sure the chain is within reasonable tolerances...

[scumdog]

Looks just like your average touring/sprotsbike to me:whistle:

[steve_t]

It's a sports bike.... no, it's a cruiser... no, sports bike :clap:

Dealers NEVER have them straight..

[Finn]

Dealers NEVER have them straight..

They're straight when the bike is on the sidestand though.

[xwhatsit]

They're straight when the bike is on the sidestand though.
That sounds like the beginning of a joke... `The only time a Honda is straight...'

Here's the original thread on this bike if anyone wants to combine the two:

I would have said it was more like an Adventure/Tourer...without the Tourer. It will still be an adventure...you wouldn't be sure if you would make it.

In saying that, it's just a bit busy looking and I'm sure it's a perfectly capable machine...

:whistle:

While I wouldn't be mean enough to say ugly......:clap:

[fergie]

I'll bet they sell alot of em. I hear that 95% of all this brand of bike are still on the road, the other 5% haven't made it home yet.

[YellowDog]

Looks just like your average touring/sprotsbike to me:whistle:
No. No.

It's definitely a Cruiser!

It says so on the side :)

[Breed777]

Looks like halfway through the design process they fired the crew and hired some pre schoolers....:nono:

Oi! Ya cynical old crackpot. I'm one of the soi disant beautiful people and I ride a mean old Yammy!

The Germans build and sell BMWs to the luckless and hapless as their way of getting even for losing WW11. The Japs got well past holding grudges and gave us Yammies! Damn fine blokes those Japs.
