In 2013, BMW released the F700GS, the direct successor of the versatile F650GS. The model was a more light and agile machine in the GS family, capable of tackling even harsher off-road tracks.

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.
