With the two completely new enduro models, the F 800 GS and F 650 GS BMW Motorrad is not only expanding its range of products available but also presenting a worthy successor to the totally successful F 650 GS with its single-cylinder engine. Even when it's parked, the amazingly offroad-capable F 800 GS travel enduro, with its sturdy appearance and long spring travel, indicates what it can do off-road. The signals it gives off are clear yet diverse: fun driving on all types of road, and stamina on journeys even when the destination can only be reached by gravel tracks.
The F 800 GS's little sister, the F 650 GS, which also has a straight twocylinder engine, is, in contrast, aimed at people who do not need quite as much spring travel and are looking for a little less adventure. With its lower seat height, it is an outstanding all-rounder; it is easy to control, provides plenty of power combined with economy, and is ideal for everyday use.
A high level of stability combined with playful handling are features shared by both the new GS models. Both the model variants offer high-quality workmanship, safe chassis and impressive engines for maximum driving enjoyment.
The straight two-cylinder drive comes from the well-known F 800 model series, but beyond this, the enduro models have been completely redesigned. A completely new frame and new wheel suspensions with new spring-shock absorber elements are used, for example, which will surpass the expectations of even the most demanding enduro riders. The belt drive and single-strut swing arm, which are ideal for pure on-road use, have been replaced by a light chain drive, which, in combination with a very stable, attractive aluminium profile double-strut swing arm, offers particular advantages in offroad driving in particular. The new GS is thus not only in its element on roads - it will also always find a way through off-road too.
The F 800 GS combines road and touring capabilities with superior offroad
characteristics. It thus combines the two worlds in a way that has never before been achieved in this class and offer the maximum possible freedom in terms of its areas of use. BMW Motorrad has positioned the dynamic travel enduro at an attractive price, thus adding a real asset to the market.
The new F 650 GS differs from its big sister in its lower seat height, lower
weight and reduced engine power. It is thus ideal for newcomers to the genre or as a sturdy all-round motorcycle for all eventualities. Compared with its predecessor, the F 650 GS with single-cylinder engine, the new model is an improvement in every day. Despite its designation, which apparently refers to the engine size, the F 650 GS has the same 800 cc straight two-cylinder engine as the F 800 GS. With a slightly reduced engine power (71 instead of 85 HP), the focus for the F 650 GS is on the high torque at lower engine speeds and excellent economy. And yet it offers over 20 HP more power than its predecessor. The F 650 GS thus also guarantees driving enjoyment wherever it goes.
