Having had numerous G650 XChallenges and converted a couple of them into "Adventure Spec" with long range tanks , luggage racks , screens etc I was missing having a big single that I could go distance on via the more interesting back road routes . I had parted with the XChallenges as with them being now some 14 years old spares for certain items were becoming an issue as BMW no longer support them being over the 10 year old threshold so when stocks run out they are not replenished . This meant the 4000 mile trips I had done previously were really not an option any longer so something had to be done !
I had been contemplating for some time a 701 Enduro R and particularly liked the LR version for its increased fuel capacity and range
There were a few used bikes and one on here in particular that were for sale but I really wanted a new bike that I could tailor to myself and do all of the work myself
So a deal was done on a new unregistered 2021 710 Enduro R 'Travel Edition"
This came with the following :
Remus Slip on Silencer, Footbrake Lever Step Plate, Brake Fluid Reservoir Cover, Clutch Reservoir Cover, Factory Racing Ignition Cover Plug, Factory Oil Filter Cover, Oil Plug, Radiator Protection Grill, Skid Plate, Cool Covers Seat Cover, Style Graphics Kit, Sidebag Carrier kit, Side Bag Kit
I particularly disliked the side bags so they have already been replaced with a set of Gloss White Outback Motortek X-Frames which I will use to mount my Wolfman Expedition Panniers
As part of the deal I got a heavily discounted set of OEM accessories , one of which is the full kit of parts for the additional fuel tank , this comes with the tank , seat , panels , wiring harness and switches , fuel lines , upgraded radiator fan and all new decals so it ends up exactly the same as the LR version
I get delivery of the bike next Wednesday and will post pictures and updates as I strip then rebuild the bike over the coming weeks.....
