Anyone here owned both the older F650 twin (800cc model) and the F700?
I once owned a standard version of the 2008 F650GS twin which was fitted with a lowered seat but no other modifications.
When I moved to NZ, rather than shipping it, I sold my BMW (bad decision).
I've been yearning to replace it & today visited the a BMW dealer to view a 2012 F700 but was incredibly surprised when I couldn't touch the floor! I couldn't even push it off the side-stand because I was so tip toe.
It looked like a standard seat & they claimed the frame between versions had not been changed. So what happened?
