As is fairly common, I'm starting this before I even have the bike in my possession...
The bike in question is a 1997 BMW F650 funduro! It has 32k on the clock, and supposedly has been sitting for close to 20 years! It's in really nice shape from the pictures I received, and come with the original top case. It has the pannier racks, but no mention of cases for them. Luckily it has been stored all this time in a climate controlled garage, so rust shouldn't be an issue. Obviously all rubber bits, and fluids will be replaced, hoping to only need to clean/rebuild the carbs. Anything else I should really be looking for?

I've been told that a couple of times. Between my SWM super dual X and not this bike, I may have to.

Yes, I believe what you had was the newer version of it. 650CC thumper Rotax engine. I couldn't help but laugh at the first description I found for this bike. "A BMW built by Aprilia with an Austrian Rotax engine"

I guess I can throw these in here. These are the pics I received that made me decide to buy it.
