There are some 'service' F650GS's with black engine casings around, from the factory, and very smart and tough they are too. Saw one with a single spotlight integral with the front mudguard, heavy duty pannier frames etc.
Danish Army Specific: A contract for 162 units was signed in July 2001 after extensive trials.
pannier rails look like they would be a bit uncomfortable though.
And now the Danish army is selling most of them cheap on auctions. Some of them had never been ridden. As far as I know their reason for selling them was some sort of miscalculation of how many they needed Makes you sad to pay +40% taxes of your incom to that sort of system
I heard that an austrian company (CC-something??) produced the fenders with light and the luggage kit. Made exlusively for the Danish army who never used it anyway - but I guess they got it cheap
As most of the paint is peeling from my 650 perhaps I'll get it painted black when I get time to pull it all apart!
Probably up the value by at least a tenner!
