XTreme

Discontinued about 5 years ago......there are 660Z Tenere's about now and again but usually high mileage. They seem to be discontinuing big Thumpers now!

Remember that Beemer weirdo from ButtRider who had that young bird as a sex slave?

Don't think I could live with a Beemer! I couldn't trust it.....and I don't fancy getting stuck in some abandoned village in the middle of nowhere with no phone signal.

The Pegaso Strada......they originally had the Rotax motors then switched to the Yam XT660 motor when that was released around 2005.

That looks like a G650GS.

Is it an Aprilia?

Apparently it's the 650 Rotax motor and BMW bought the rights to it when Rotax discontinued it. The only difference is they're now assembled in China........but it's all BMW components. with just a Chinese workforce putting it together. I think Honda and Yamaha do a similar thing with some models and there don't seem to be any quality issues reported.

.......of the 2015-on BMW G650GS. Cos I gotta say I do like the look of this........and it's 35kg lighter than the Strom!

Of course not......it's the collection of lunatics and imbeciles that come as part of the package!

What have you come to terms with.......being a part of a group of complete fucking twats? You'd probably still have a full head of hair if you hadn't PM'd me on ButtRider in 2004 to ask my opinion on Transalps.

Well you're one of us......so it's odds on you're going to get fucked up Pedro!

I think @BusBoy knows a bit.......but @Cupid Stunt is the man on this! I'll tag him on FB!

What issues have you got Alan.......besides being from Carediff?

How is your health at the moment Bruce?

And back ops are risky Clive. They won't go near the wife's back where the arthritis has also spread.

After @MooN's mishap putting a bike on a centre stand ....... .....it got me thinking that this place is getting like some sort of military field hospital with the state on everybody. In my case I've had bad knees for over 30 years......stretched MCL's due to stupid sports in my youth. But it's not a case of they've particularly got worse.....more a case of the rest of me has got worse around them due to advancing years. So where I could compensate for them to some degree in the past, it's getting harder all the time to do that now I'm 66. Which is why I've got to get a lighter bike very soon. However, I am lucky inasmuch as I don't suffer from arthritis......I always figured I'd be riddled with it in old age because of the way I bombarded my body with impacts in my youth. But nothing! But I am partly deaf in one ear due to wind noise on bikes over the years.......and I need to wear glasses all the time now. So.....that's my liabilities at the present time......just got to work round them as best I can! So what's your current situation in terms of physical problems? And we don't need to know your mental problems.....or we'll be here all fucking day!

Sounds like fucking Wankers Doom to me Ray!

I thought that as well! He's not Doctor Clouseau is he?

Went passed the bend slowly in the car this morning and it looks like there are dried up traces of oil running sideways at certain parts. I can't say that's what caused it for sure......but it's a possibility.

You won't be able to ride for a while then Chris?

Let's see pics then Yen.....before you cover it in shit!

Here's a few shots! And I was very impressed by their trams! So I shot a vid! Can you believe they're not abandoned?

Cheers Bruce.....I'll check it out in the next few days.

Do they put salt on your roads @Pedro? Cos that looks like an old UK Winter bike to me.
