UNSTOPPABLE
THE NEW BMW F 650 GS
The BMW F 650 GS – the most UNSTOPPABLE bike in its class.
A responsive 71-horsepower parallel twin engine delivers potent performance.
Lightweight construction ensures outstanding agility. An ergonomic low seating position combined
with under-the-seat fuel tank for a very low center of gravity creates a great cornering machine.
Features like the optional switchable BMW Motorrad ABS and Tire Pressure Control (TPC)
systems guarantee maximum stopping power and rider safety. It’s equally at home on city streets,
highways, country roads and rough terrain. The new F 650 GS. 100 per cent BMW Motorrad.

UNSTOPPABLE –
AND SAFE
The new F 650 GS is a bike with an impeccable pedigree – from grueling Dakar races to
famed global adventurers. And nowhere is this more obvious than in our commitment to safety.
The optional switchable BMW ABS ensures supremely controllable stopping power and
the shortest possible braking distance, while TPC (Tire Pressure Control) allows the rider
to keep an eye on tire pressure at all times. Because forewarned is forearmed.
