The BMW F 650 GS - for town country and everything in between.
Asphalt, rough track or sand? The BMW F 650 GS can cope with any surface. It really is multitalented. Whether narrow alleyways in town, sweeping bends on country roads or off road tracks: the agile handling impresses both beginners and professionals. The bike's outstanding ergonomics and the choice of three seat heights means that men and women feel equally at home. The new engine management system BMS-C II in combination with the Two Spark dual ignition makes for low fuel consumption and much reduced exhaust gas emissions. The power and refined 4-valve single cylinder engine is thus state-of-the-art, defining new standards in its category. For holders of the under-age motorcycle license there is a power reduction available as an optional extra.
