Itseems everyone wants a piece of Paris-Dakar glamour these days. And few bikes hanker after it as much as BMWâs new, Dakar-styled dual-purpose F650. Gelaende âoff road, streetâ â and when it was launched in 2000, the F650 was acclaimed as the worldâs most technologically advanced single.
TheF650GS 650cc single and the F650GS Dakar edition are the first two. Then came an F650GS that was a twin 800cc. That also came in a factory lowered and standard height variants.

The650 also has a slimmer radiator, lower seat height, low wind-screen, conventional telescope fork, cast wheels, 19-inch front wheel, single front disc brake and a lower spec mono shock.
