Price OK for 2005 F650?

[CelticPixie]

Hi,

I'm new here and am thinking about buying a Dakar 650 in the UK.

In a nutshell:
2005 twin spark, 15000 miles, centre stand, Touratech pegs, new head bearings, 1 year tax, new tyres, new sprocket & chains, centre stand.
Partly home serviced, partly BMW but no logbook.

I looked at the bike yesterday and gave it a quick spin. All sound – but a little bit of corrosion on the front of the engine. It's just a small patch (left hand side of the engine, to the right of the gasket).

Does £3600 sound OK for it?

Thanks in advance!!!

No logbook

I would have to think long and hard about parting with my cash for a bike with no logbook

Hi,
Sounds ok......But no Logbook????
Sorry but alarm bells would be ringing!
What reason for no logbook?

logger heads

would the Pixie (Hello and Welcome by the way ) be referring to the service logbook?
dead right - avoid a bike with no ownership documents / but even if it's a reference to the service history - i'd be wondering WHY no paper trail for such a new bike.

Good Luck

I bought it in the end...

Hi,

Thanks for your replies!
I bought the bike in the end. BMW confirmed they had done part of the services (i.e. valves) – the owner did his own oil/filter changes. That's why BMW wouldn't sign the service book. I can kind of understand why the previous owner serviced it himself – it's pretty much what I will do as well as it's so much cheaper.
