Dakar 2000

[Vincent]

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a F650gs Dakar, Got my eye on a neat model from 2000 with 11000 miles on the clock... How much would pay for such a bike?
What are the differences between this bike and later model (forks, front wheel, height...)?
Many thanks
Cheers
Vince

No difference in height, wheels etc. Later models had a different rear rack and panels and a slightly different front fairing that has 4 screws in the screen, not 3 like the older ones.
Later ones are twin spark also (which does very little and costs more when servicing/things go wrong).

How much would I pay, mmmmm depends. I always under value them, but if it is nice I would guess anything up to £2500 ish with that mileage

What colour?

Captain America (John Deacon tribute colours) and the Black and white ones were special edition and can fetch top bucks.

That bike is Colts..........from this parish

It's worth £4k

Lovely bike...............best and most original Dakar colourscheme - it is the original Dakar model and highly desirable

Black & White - the best colour scheme of all the F650's.
And if it's Colt's bike your buying, I don't know how much he's asking but it'll be a good buy. He's not in the business of ripping people off.

Looks very neat from the pics, thanks for the info
Cheers

That's a great bike, if you want it, I'd pay whatever you can afford as they don't come much better............well unless you want to buy mine that is....................................................................................................................................................................................................................except it's not for sale
Enjoy the world of 650 versatility

I knew that, but was waiting for you to own up

I've seen it in the flesh and it puts mine to shame

Mine is piloted by a far more handsome rider though who has the skills of a mountain goat off road

Fixed it for you Flip

 

[Colt]

Vince , you would look really handsome on the 2000 Dakar

It gets admiring glances and greeneyed looks from all who want to own it

 

[Flipfly]

Fixed it for you Flip

Furry Muff, you're probably right

 

[JohnnyBoxer]

Furry Muff, you're probably right

Just jesting, mate....................you pilot that Dakar well

do a search on ebay for completed listings and i'm sure you will find it.

 

[joff]

I had a look at the ebay completed listings but couldn't find a sold Dakar...maybe didn't meet its' Reserve?
