Nice sidecars, better looking than the Ural lookalike they sell here.  Any ideas as to what the engine is ?

A reliable bike and a sidecar

You know it makes sense.

Shall I mention it to Mrs L?

The bike looks like one of those funny singles that BMW make - Scarvers, or whatever they're called. In which case the engine would be a water-cooled Rotax - anyone with a Rotax-engined bike confirm this?

Engine SOHC Developed by Jialing and Austrian Corporation AVL.

Not Rotax but similar.

Hmmm.....as a CS owner I take exception to that description of a wonderful bike, young Richard  , I do see the BMW/Rotax connection though as there is more than a touch of Funduro styling going on there.

I rode a Scarver once. My enduring memory is of the little ledge for your sandwiches, on top of the tank

Bird table for broken nuts!

When I looked at a 'showroom' model with ~0 miles and with rust in the corners of the aforesaid 'bird table', it didn't make me desire to own one!

The name and styling is just 'naff' and 

Night, night, Bill.

BMW never wanted the F650. Their salesmen were always trying to sell R850's and 1100's to anyone with a 650 and you could tell anything 650 related was left to agency people, graduate trainees and the like in Munich/Berlin. The Funduro name was just as daft as the Scarver thing. Back in my days of BMW ownership I had a CS as a loaner. Only hassle to me was lack of range, otherwise a nice bike. The twins were just as bad corrosion wise as the F's BTW.

Now that JH600, looks interesting. I wonder how the waterpump is driven

I'd like to point out that when I say I rode one once, I meant once, as a try-out of a friend's bike - lest I be embarrassingly associated with it. I didn't own one.

Oh, don't be shy Richard!

If you had bought one, it would been part of lifes 'rich tapestry', or empty pocket!

I still have a F650 to rebuild and Xmas/New Year passed without a glance, well, maybe a peek, but nothing constructive.

Healthy 2009 to you, Bill.

Do you know, I'm not sure I've ever bought a bike I'd be embarrassed to admit to. I've probably paid some embarrassing prices ...

I bought a Benly CD200 and I am embarrassed to say that. Heap of rubbish. Sold it for a profit, mind!

Rode a CD175 for a while, that was hideous and s**te! Mind you, I cafe racered because it was too ugly to bear and it and it was a bit of a laugh then, if only for teasing/confusing the local yoof with

I had a GN250. It was a carp bike but I still had some times on it (200 miles at Xmas with a 2 1/2 foor teddy on the back). So I'm not embarrassed by it ;-)
