Love my Beemer, not so for the dealer.
I bought a 05 BMW F650GS Dakar motorcycle over the weekend and I'm having a blast riding it. I'm not riding all fast and floggin' the beast around town and trail just yet. Gotta get familiar and comfortable with it's quirks. Being a dual-sport motorcycle, I love the higher view the upright tall seating position affords. Kinda reminds me of being on the road or mountain bike. Kinda tower above the sightline and roofs of most cars... It's like being in a utility truck than a low sports car. The stock seat is just a bit high that I can only reach my balls of my feet to the ground so I ordered a lower seat from the dealer when I picked up the bike. I should be able to flat foot it during stops and gaining more confidence. But the dudes at the dealer didn't order the damn seat when I paid for and picked up the bike. That was last friday. Called the parts guy who said they'll order is tomorrow. WTF! I think somebody dropped the ball. Now I should expect it next tuesday about a week past the date it shoulda been in my hands. If it weren't for my current elation over the new bike, I'd be pissed. It does chap my ass just a bit though...
