There was a TV series "The Long Way Down," in which actors Ewan McGregor and Charley Borman made a trip on the Trans Continental BMW 1150GS Adventure.BMW sales grew during the night, but the 1150 and 1200GS bikes were too big toAnnette so we had a look at the BMW F650GS. It 'was a single-cylinder 649ccmotorcycle that was a big, strong and heavy. We bought second hand and had the seat changed version "high". Annette has long legs so high motorcycles are never aproblem. The bike was imported to this country from Germany by the dealer and, therefore, had changed the clocks showing MPH UK Germany
