Property of a deceased's estate
2001 BMW F650 Funduro
Registration no. Y191 RTR
Frame no. WB1016BJXXA45242
Engine no. not known

Introduced in 1993, the F650 was BMW's first single-cylinder model since the 1960s and the German company's first ever chain-driven motorcycle. It had resulted from a joint enterprise with Aprilia, the Italian version being the Pegaso 650, and was assembled by Aprilia. Both machines used engines supplied by the Austrian Rotax company, though the latest Pegaso's was a five-valves-per-cylinder unit and the BMW a four-valver. Two versions of the F650 were offered: Funduro (adventure) and Strada (roadster).

Its late owner purchased this F650 from BMW dealer SPC Motorcycles of Lower Farringdon, Hampshire in April 2001 and used it as an everyday runabout (purchase receipt on file). Previously 'registered or used overseas', the machine also comes with SORN paperwork; DVLA correspondence; old/current V5/V5C documents and a quantity of expired MoT certificates, the most recent of which was issued in March 2021 at 43,270 miles.
