BMW F700GS (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2007, BMW extended the GS family with an entry-level and medium category with the F650GS and F800GS, and the goal was to build fun-to-ride bikes lighter than the big R1200GS, which still provided off-road capabilities.

BMW continued the GS successful story with the updated 2012 F 700 GS and F800GS motorcycles.

The 2012 F700GS was more suited for motorcyclists with less experience in off-road conditions.

The F700GS was a street enduro motorcycle made by BMW, presented at the BMW Motorrad Days in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 2012. The BMW F700GS was designed as a successor to the F650GS and was released in 2012.

The 2012 model received an upgrade in the engine department and other features that increase its versatility. ABS as standard, new paint schemes, Red Apple Metallic, Ostra Grey Metallic Matte, Glacier Silver Metallic, a new handlebar clamp, and a new windshield as opposed to the F 650 GS.

The 2012 BMW F700GS had its heartbeat set by a 798cc four-stroke liquid-cooled engine that delivered 75 hp with maximum strength at 7,300 rpm and 77 Nm (57 lb-ft) of torque at 5,300 rpm.

For suspension, the model packed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and a central spring strut, with hydraulically spring pre-load and a dual swingarm.
