BMW G650X Moto (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW G650X was a series of motorcycles with a short life manufactured from 2006 to 2009. The models were the G650X Challenge, the G650X moto, and the G650X country, powered by the same single-cylinder engine first seen on the BMW F650.

The G650X Moto model was released in 2006 and offered the perfect package for the urban jungle. With improved handling and responsive throttle, it was one of the best supermotards available on the market at the time of its release.

Thanks to its supermoto lightweight cast aluminum 17 inches wheels, the X moto was the best handling machine of the G650 series. With a weight of 159 kg (350 lbs), lightweight, and agile aside from the tall 920 mm seat height, the model was a great city machine.

The model featured a race-inspired, 45 mm inverted preload-adjustable fork on the front and a monoshock on the rear that offered a plush ride and improved maneuverability. Added to its features were the aluminum handlebar and the fuel tank which was mounted under the seat for a lower center of gravity.

The BMW G650X Moto featured a single-cylinder 652cc four-stroke liquid-cooled engine with a power output of 53 hp at 7,000 rpm and 60 Nm (44 lb-ft) of torque at 5,250 rpm and a six-speed manual transmission.

For braking, the model packed a single 320 mm disc on the front wheel and a 240 mm disc on the rear wheel.
