BMW F650 rip off?

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!

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

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

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

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.

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.
