The G650GS - for the city, the country, and every road in between. 
  offroad
The G650GS is descended from the BMW single-cylinder bikes that scored outright wins in the 1999 Granada-Dakar Rally and the 2000 Paris-Dakar-Cairo event. This versatile bike is a leader in value, too, coming to Canada with standard antilock brakes and heated handgrips. Please note: Some pictures here show previous models. The new colours are red and black with a black engine.

With a twin-spark cylinder head, free-flowing exhaust, and sophisticated engine management, low-speed torque and drivability are remarkably good, while fuel consumption is very low.


  Some shots of a previous model in yellow Here are some further highlights:
-Utility: The luggage rack has solid tie-down points and fits the topcase with no auxiliary bracket.
-Customizable ergonomics: A low standard seat height and optional lowered suspension or taller seat to easily fit all riders.
-Refinement: The F650GS features electronic engine management with no-choke starting. A downdraught cylinder head, the dual exhaust, and refinements to the drivetrain provide torque over a wide RPM range and smooth running at low engine speeds, along with superb fuel economy.
-Safety: For the first time on an "entry-level" machine, antilock brakes are standard equipment. This very important safety feature is possible due to the compact and lightweight (4.4 lbs) modular system.
This bike is great-looking, versatile, has a bullet-proof history, and is fun to ride on all kinds of roads and for novices and experts.
