1998 BMW F 650 CS review from Republic of Ireland
"A very sporty ride"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Drive belt snapped at 21000.
Very expensive to have replaced, over 270 sterling (including 60 towing fee).
General comments?
Not mad about the ABS brakes on the rear, but that's just me.
