Overview
BMW F 650GS
The new BMW F 650 GS the most unstoppable enduro
in its class. Dynamic and sporty, it is built around a punchy twin-cylinder
engine that delivers an impressive 71 horsepower. Light weight and a comfortable
low seat ensure outstanding agility, while ABS and Tyre Pressure Control
maximize safety. AND it is as at home in the big city as in the big wide world
beyond. The new F 650 GS. 100 per cent BMW. 100 per cent unstoppable.
The all-new 2009 F 650 GS offers more power and more thrills per mile than ever
before in the form of a 71 hp, torque-filled, twin cylinder engine. From
touring, to off-road exploring, to sporty handling on the tarmac, this
middleweight machine, based on the much anticipated F 800 GS, does anything and
everything the ambitious motorcyclist could ever want. With a rigid steel tube
trellis frame, it's sturdy. With a double-sided swing arm and chain drive, it's
reliable. And with a low seat height and narrow design, it's ideal for darting
through trees or traffic. Cast aluminium wheels and telescopic forks keep the
ride smooth and precise at all times. Throw in disengageable ABS and even Tire
Pressure Monitoring as options, and you get a road-hungry, enduro-styled
motorcycle that can tackle anything in its path and beg for more.

Ideal for on- or off-road riding, urban commuting and any rider looking for a fun, efficient and reliable motorcycle, the middleweight twin tackles anything the ambitious motorcyclist could throw at it. Its rigid steel tube trellis frame, double-sided swing arm and chain drive offer reliability. A low seat height and narrow design make navigation through the worst traffic a breeze. Cast aluminum wheels and telescopic forks keep the ride smooth and precise at all times.

The F 650 GS is the newest addition to BMW's dual-sport line up. It follows in the footsteps of the highly acclaimed R 1200 GS - which traces its roots back to the early 1980s when BMW won the grueling Paris-Dakar rally four times with its trailbslazing dual-purpose R 80 GS. Since their debut in 2004, the versatile R 1200 GS and its rugged companion, the R 1200 GS Adventure, have earned praise from motorcycle enthusiasts and the press for their exceptional performance both on and off the road. The R 1200 GS has earned award after award, including Cycle World's Best Open Class Street Bike and the International Journalist's Panel "Best Bike in the World." The R 1200 GS Adventure was named "Best Adventure Bike" three years in a row by editors of Motorcyclist Magazine.
