F 650 Dakar

[Sadjim]

We have just finished the 650 below lots of touratech bits, paint job by motobuild of burscough. It looks fantastic (in my opinion), rides great and has a 39 litre tank.

About 10 miles per litre cruising at "motorway" speeds.

Great job! Looks awesome.

did you do anything that changes the ride or performance, ie engine or suspension tweaks?

Thanks Will

No it is standard but the great thing is that if you do not need the range of the two extra tanks you just run on the main fuel tank, so do not need any extra performance to carry all that weight.

About 10 miles per litre cruising at "motorway" speeds.

Sounds about right, we were guessing 400 - 450 on a tank depending on riding style.

Could spend another fiver and autosol your cans

The 2008 TT catalogue quotes 800 - 1000 km depending on riding style

500 - 625 miles (approx) then
