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

The BMW G 650 GS was a motorcycle manufactured by BMW Motorrad. In 2008, BMW launched the G 650 GS, the original single-cylinder F 650 GS motorcycle brought back into production with minor changes and under a new name.

The engine was assembled in China by a company named Loncin and sent back in a black finish, while the earlier European-assembled engine was in a silver finish.

In 2010, at the EICMA Show in Italy, BMW announced that the G 650 GS would be sold globally with a slightly down-rated engine. In 2016, BMW continued the success story of BMW Motorrad’s single-cylinder engine used on the G 650 GS.

The 2016 model takes its power from the 652cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine bolted to a five-speed constant-mesh transmission, with an output of 50 hp at 6,500 rpm and 60 Nm (44 lb-ft) of torque at 5,000 rpm.

The BMW adventure bike includes some accessories such as comfortable hand protectors, an aluminum sump guard, a high windshield, and practical Vario cases. Other features include heated grips, a center stand, and ABS that prevents the wheels from locking.

The BMW G 650 GS was a robust, powerful, and very light motorcycle weighing 195 kg (430 lbs) with a full tank.

The 2016 G 650 GS was for sale in 2022, starting from $7,000.
