BMW F650GS (2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2013, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW F650GS, a two-cylinder powered motorcycle that replaced the 2000-2007 F650GS powered by a single-cylinder engine.

The bike was intended as a new generation for the old machines, and although the name remained the same, the bike packed a larger displacement engine. In addition, it featured several modifications that enhanced its overall capabilities.

The 2013 model had standard features, such as a small windscreen, heated grips, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, a high-mounted exhaust system on the left side of the bike, a black-finished engine, and magnesium-colored 10-spoke aluminum wheels.

In the suspension department, the bike packed a 43 mm upside-down Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber with a dual-sided swingarm on the rear, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling.

As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with a 300 mm disc and a four-piston caliper on the front and a 265 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, offering excellent stopping power.

In the performance department, the 2013 BMW F650GS had its soul brought to life by a 798cc four-stroke parallel twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, delivering 85 hp with a peak force at 7,500 rpm and 80 Nm )59 lb-ft) torque at 5,700 rpm.
