The new version of BMW’s small trail is even less innocuous than it seems. With a style that is similar to that of the 1200 GS, a trellis frame and an in-line twin to replace the Rotax mono, the 650 GS completely changes generation without changing philosophy….
Although … At the engine level, the GS does not really play in the same court. Ditch the single cylinder (THE customary trail engine WHERE MotoId = 3113; this is an affront to supporters of the big piston culture – however, the majority of users will be more sensitive to the significant increase in power of the F 650 GS: we goes from 50 to 71 horses. Rather maousse as an evolution … and the 1.5 mkg of torque gained will quickly forget the 6 kg of overweight recorded by the new 650 GS. This may not be enough to console them. unconditional linked to the character of a mono; for this, BMW reserves the series G 650 X for them.
How did the F 650 GS gain 21 horsepower between 2007 and 2008? Not complicated: it is the engine of the F 800 GS which replaces the Rotax. With 798 cm3 and 2 cylinders, it is immediately easier to find power. However, to stick to its name 650 and not to walk on the flower beds of the 800, the engine of the small GS is technically distinguished: modified distribution reducing the crossing of valves and camshafts carrying different cams reducing the stroke. As the 650 produces less pollutant emissions than the 800, it is not equipped like the latter with a secondary air supply system. Specificity of the 650: it can be clamped at 34 hp. Young people who have tried the GS will not have to hesitate.
New GS: new engine, new look, new chassis. The simple cradle frame is replaced by a sturdy trellis made of steel-manganese tubing. The slim and robust steering head integrated into the frame structure allows the handlebars to be turned by 40 ° (even 42 on the 800). The small GS wants to be very accessible, better than the 800 more typical way. For this, in addition to the narrow crotch, the saddle height can be 820 or 790 mm, and it is also possible to go down to 765 mm with the lowering kit.
The equipment of the 650 shows that it leaves its sister 800 the joys of adventuring out of bitumen. The youngest of BM wants to be more suited to the urbanized environment. It incorporates a classic fork 43 mm in diameter deflecting 180 mm, a classic swingarm damped by a single shock absorber running on 170 mm, cast aluminum wheels of 19 “at the front and 17” at the rear. better at driving on the road. Precision: both the 650 and the 800 are fitted with enduro tires suitable for the road as standard..
A single 300mm brake disc provides braking at the front. It is assisted by a 265 mm on the rear wheel. BMW’s beloved ABS can be fitted as an option and can be deactivated in the event of an incursion out of bitumen.
So … F 800 / F 650 GS, same fight? Not really. One is more intended for roaming the roads with its large wheels and beefier chassis / the other is more urban and fun-oriented, with its more measured power, its lower windshield, its smoother side fairing and its lower ground clearance Hopefully the price does not bring it too close to the 800.
