The most unexpected turn of events just happened today and introductions are in order. As you all know I was shopping for new adventure bikes for my wife and I. This morning I came across a used BMW F700GS completely loaded with BMW accessories for sale at a BMW dealer in Ajax Ontario. The motorcycle had only 2,875 Km (1,786 Miles) and was for sale at $ 12,372.00 Tax Included.
This may sound like much money to some, but if you start shopping for this bike, it can get to well over $ 18,000.00 with the equipment included. For example, the BMW Panniers and Top Box is close to $ 1,900.00 when purchased new and installed with the bike. So really, this was an excellent deal.
Although I was not planning to buy a bike until the spring, I decided this morning after discussing it my friend Mike Fritz that this was just too good of a deal to pass down.
So please welcome our first BMW to our Family…

That is a seriously nice bike. I’d say new, more like $20K.
And you’ve got a warranty. Way to go Peter.

twofold, creates a cushion of air ‘over you’ so essentially pushing bugs and the like out of your road, meaning visor can stay up and in hot weather change height to push air around yourself cooling you down

Oh, I get it. When you send air flow I was thinking something with the air filter but know I get it. Actually, I was planning to order the wind screen from MadStad Engineering since I was very satisfied with their design on the CTX 700. I was considering the 18″ clear.

Peter, I believe I have followed your blog ever since it began. I’m endlessly fascinated by your insights and experiences.
I wonder where all this will end. Can you ever see yourself ending up your two-wheeled odyssey on an 1800 cc behemouth? Something like a Harley Electra Glide? (Just kidding!)

Probably will eventually end with a BMW R 1200 GS whenever I have an extra $30,000 to spend (like win the lottery)
