The BMW F650CS, also known as the Scarver (a blend of Street and Carver), was one of the weirdest bikes BMW ever made – and that’s saying a lot. Superficially, it made perfect sense – medium displacement, high mpg street bike aimed at commuters with a low maintenance belt drive. Weird looks combined with the fact that a F650GS could …
1994 BMW R100GS
BMW pioneered the ‘adventure-bike’ market back in the 80s with the R80GS. Several years later, BMW released the R100GS as an update to their trailblazing bike. Here we have one of the later R100GS models, a 1994, in the popular “Bumblebee” paint scheme – though it is missing the delightfully 80s-styled decals. Many riders consider this to be the best …

Now this is a true fly and ride – buy this bike in Nicaragua, and see where the road takes you! Even though I own one of these bikes myself (and I adore it), I don’t consider the 1150GS to be rare or unique. With that said, the opportunity presented here is definitely unique, and worth sharing in the …
