BMW F650CS Scarver (2000-2001) Specs, Performance & Photos

To get younger people interested in motorcycling again, BMW released a 2001 motorcycle named F 650 CS Scarver, where CS means City and Street, and the additional Scarver means rapid cornering onto the edge.

In connection with the newly designed single-sided swingarm, the innovative toothed belt drive took the CS model into new territories.

The fuel tank was fitted under the seat, just like on the F 650 GS, to ensure a low center of gravity and high agility. The CS model borrowed the engine and its digital engine control from the GS model, and thanks to the redesigned exhaust system, the model got a slight increase in torque.

The 652cc single-cylinder engine that powered the CS model had a power output of 50 hp at 6,800 rpm and 62 Nm (46 lb-ft) of torque available at 5,500 rpm. With a curb weight of 189 kg (417 lbs) and a five-speed manual transmission, the 2001 BMW F 650 Cs Scarver registered a top speed of 175 kph (109 mph).

As standard features, the bike came equipped with a 41mm telescopic front fork, an adjustable mono-shock in the rear with progressive linkage, front and rear disc brakes, lightweight cast aluminum wheels, a dual seat, a rear luggage rack, and an analog instrument cluster.
