Things got a little crazy this week and I ended up buying two more motorcycles. I love my Harley-Davidson V-Rod very much, but I'm not buying another Harley any time soon. Instead I bought a
SPOILER ALERT
BMW F650GS, and a BMW F700GS. Why though?
Are BMW motorcycles better than Harley-Davidson motorcycles?
What did I upgrade to the F700GS from?
What are the differences between an F650GS and an F700GS?
How do the BMWs compare to my Harley-Davidson?
Why upgrade from an F650GS to a F700GS?
Does anyone even read the description box?
Find out all this and more! :) Seriously though, does anybody read this?!

My friend has F650GS and my son has the F700GS. The places we take them ! The bike can do just about anything oddly enough as I use KTM 790 Adv R. So I respect then. They get there and never break down.

I like it! I never understood why they don’t have self terminating turn signals on bikes other than Harley. Despite the parts you don’t like I think it’s pretty cool 😎

Very versatile/capable bike! But when you have the option of a brand new one with nicer specs for a few grand more, it was too hard to turn down!

I tried testing that on the F650GS but could not get it to work. It could have been just my model or it's possible I was doing it wrong as I've never seen anyone do that. Thanks for letting me know, though!

Don’t sell your G650GS. I sold my 2009 and regretted it. Six years later I bought a 2014 and think I’ll keep forever. Congrats on the new purchase(s). Lol!

Thanks! I agree! Looking at the G650GS for international travel where I want things to be as low tech and light weight as possible, and top speed isn't a top priority. Ideally would want to ride across Mexico on the G650GS in January 2023! I think the fact you bought one, sold it, and bought one again speaks volumes of how good of an all-round motorcycle it is.

@@YouMotorcycle I’m looking to do the same trip. So far I’ve bought an aftermarket skid plate, dry bags and rock straps. I’ll need some crash bars, a taller windscreen and deciding on hard or soft panniers. The bike came with bark busters. My last purchases will be a good two person tent and I’m asking for a Firebox stove for Father’s Day. 🤓👍

It all depends on what you are doing and want to do. For off-road, I would take the thumper, but without spoked wheels and a 21" front how much are you really going to need the off-road difference. The F700 is a nice step up from the "650" twin. Although, the 800 is a big step up in suspension and off-road ability. But as before, it all comes down to what you plan to use it for.

So I started writing a multi-paragraph reply when you left this comment, and then my buddy shows up and announces he's having a baby and it all got lost in the chaos that followed. Long story short, I agree completely. F800 would have been another big step up, but too much of a step in a direction I don't see myself going any time soon so I think this is the right one for me right now :) It was a little more than I planned on spending, but still too good of a deal to pass up. Hopefully I can break even or get a little more than I spent on the F650GS to help a bit.

I had a 2013 f650 gs and I had self canceling I believe you can incorporate a relay , Ill agree with you on the height , and this bike is a bit of a beast , I have a 2003 r1150gs and a 2009 g650gs , the gs650 is a real fun bike but its got a couple quirks , the best thing is the theses bikes hold their value , I've had 2014 f800gs I loved that bike , iam5ft 11, the r1150gs is one hell of a bike , its heavy though, once its moving its like riding in a cloud , the g650gs is a great all around bike Gota love a thumper ,

Cool! Maybe I wasnt waiting long enough for the turn signals to self cancel or maybe this one (being older) didn't have that. Either way she's gone now and the F700GS is still with me and I'm very happy for the normal turn signal controls!

When you turn on the blinker, after a few seconds it turns off by itself, so there is no need to press anything, unless you want to turn it off first.

I've read that the turn signals are supposed to be self cancelling, like on my V-Rod. Maybe I was too impatient because that didn't seem to work for me. It might have just been my bike that had the issue though. Thank you for the comment.
