The strong twin-cylinder engine has impressive torque, peaking at a low 4500 rpm. Weighing only 376 pounds dry, the GS has a low centre of gravity with its under-seat fuel tank. The liquid-cooled engine, with its' unique rocker balancing mechanism, requires little maintenance. The first valve adjustment is not before 20,000 km.

BMW never ignores safety features and the F650GS is no exception with available antilock brakes and tire pressure monitoring.

As light as it is, the F650GS is easy to ride for all. Two no-cost options make it very accessible for riders with short inseams: an accessory low seat or a lowered chassis package which includes the low seat.
