My girlfriend is about ready to buy a bike...and has finally found something other than a cruiser...

I don't know a lot about the BMW's so I was hoping some of you would have some information on this model.

Also - my girlfriend is SHORT...we would need to drop the seat about an inch...easy or hard or impossible to do?

Thanks!!!

Check this site out, an informative article. You will be surprised. Even mentions the Buell Blast!

Yes, the seat can be lowered.

The F650 support site
http://www.f650.com/Default.aspx

has a ton of information. I did get to test ride one...I thought it to be very 'friendly'. I think the CS already has the lower seat/susp.
Good luck

The same could be said about the 03 bolts.
