But the price of the F650 is ridiculous. For $8000, With $8000 to 
spend, I would look for a used R1100GS. It has respectable power for a 
dual-sport bike and is able to carry rider and passenger in comfort.


The last thing I ever want to ride is a bike that is anemic. 50 HP is 
anemic, especially two-up.
