presentation of the F 650 GS 2005
a few minor tweaks to the F 650 GS to start 2004 with a smile. The engine benefits from the dual ignition system that had colonized all twin-equipped BMs. Combined with a new electronic engine management system, the single-ignition engine should offer greater riding pleasure, as well as lower pollution and fuel consumption. The headlamp and front mudguard have been modified, as have a number of other small details, all with the aim of making everyday life more pleasant. The F is also available in a very attractive Dakar version. BM has not forgotten its glory days in the sand dunes.

Shortcomings:
Little flexibility (you have to be at the right rpm)
ABS on rear wheel too intrusive
Engine (mono) unpleasant on freeways, better with a long gear ratio (16x 42 ) and the speedometer works well. Rating : 4/5 Respond to Thierry31
Except that maintenance is relatively costly, but it's a BMW...and if you're not a bit of a mechanic, you have to have it done.... Rating : 5/5 Respond to riton 66
It's only a 650, so not very torquey or powerful, which is to be expected.
It starts on the quarter without a hitch.
Fuel consumption is ridiculous - 5 L when spinning.
The bmw high bubble has been straightened to provide better protection, while the low bubble is non-existent for protection.
Steering column bearing replaced.
Original chain kit has 24,000 kms and there's still some margin in the tension.
A deux ca frotte vite ...
Efficient ABS braking.
Nice heated grips!
Trail, road, path, mountain, city, it's good for everything.
I'd only switch to the 1200 gs or explore just to gain a little more horsepower and torque.
This 650gs is economical, practical, reliable and versatile. Rating : 4/5 Respond to boopisteph
11 years of loyal service!!!
incredibly manÅ"uvrable (like a bike!)
1st 2nd mole because of electronic management (computer)
good recovery 3,4,5th
just the rear bearing screwed up at 7000 km and the metal oil hose oozing under warranty.
chain kit at 25000 km
fuel consumption 4 liters per cent! Rating : 5/5 Participate in the conversation

World-famous ,it exported almost 50 years for all the car manufacturers companies as well as the big industrial companies.
So it’s an honor, not a disgrace!
All parts, even metal ones, have a limited lifespan!
