BMW G650GS Sertão (2015-2016) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW G650GS Sertao was an off-road-oriented motorcycle that debuted in 2012, filing the gap left by the BMW F650GS Dakar discontinued from production in 2008. The G650GS Sertao continued production until 2017.

In 2015, the German motorcycle manufacturer released the BMW G650GS Sertao, an off-road machine in its fourth year of production that followed the same recipe as previous models without any significant modification.

In the visual department, the BMW G650GS packed standard features, such as a tall windscreen, an extended front fender, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a luggage rack, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, and lightweight wire-spoke wheels.

The bike featured an Aura White and Arroyo Blue livery with Sertao lettering and a black with grey seat. In addition, the bike was available with hand guards, an aluminum engine guard, and an on/off ABS.

In the performance department, the 2015 BMW G650GS Sertao had its soul brought to life by a 652cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that delivered an output power of 50 hp with a peak force at 7,000 rpm and 60 Nm (44 lb-ft) torque at 5,250 rpm.

The bike's power was handled by a five-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-disc clutch and a final O-ring chain drive, pushing the machine to a top speed of 170 kph (105 mph).
