The BMW G650X was a series of motorcycles manufactured by BMW Motorrad from 2006 to 2009. The G650X replaced the BMW F650 and was part of the G series that comprised three models: the G650X Challenge, the G650X Moto, and the G650X Country.
All three G650X models used the same updated engine made by Rotax, first seen on the BMW F650, while later, BMW Motorrad used an engine made by Loncin in China and sent to Italy, where the bikes were assembled.
In 2007, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW G650X Country, one of the most versatile motorcycles produced by BMW, capable of taking on the roles of a city commuter and tackling unpaved roads.
In the visual department, the bike had standard features, such as a small round headlight, a one-piece dual seat, a high-mounted exhaust system with a massive muffler, a black-finished engine, and lightweight wire-spoke wheels.
The bike was built on a bridge-type steel tube frame with a 45 mm upside-down telescopic fork on the front, providing 240 mm wheel travel, and a single-shock absorber on the rear, offering 210 mm wheel travel.
In the performance department, the 2007 BMW G650X Country had installed a 652cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 53 hp at 7,000 rpm and 60 Nm (44 lb-ft) torque at 5,250 rpm.
