The BMW G 650 GS is an all-terrain motorcycle from the German vehicle manufacturer BMW . The Enduro as all models of the G-series of a single-cylinder engine driven. The model designation GS means terrain / road . The internal model code is R13.
history
The single-cylinder engine was originally developed by BMW together with Rotax and initially also manufactured in Austria. The engines of the BMW G 650 X series were manufactured by Loncin Industries in Chongqing , China , from 2008 . As a successor with a single-cylinder engine, the BMW G 650 GS motorcycle model based on the BMW F 650 GS was initially manufactured in Manaus, Brazil, initially exclusively for the local market. From 2011 this model was also available in Germany.
Compared to the previous model, the F 650 GS, the fairing is slimmer, and the steering front fender has been redesigned. The headlights are designed asymmetrically. The fuel tank has been reduced from 17.3 to 14 liters (this could be replaced by the tank of the predecessor in terms of space). Together with the newly designed, lighter cast wheels, the weight is reduced by 4 kg.
Sertão
BMW also offered a higher-level special model under the designation G 650 GS Sertão with longer suspension travel, enduro tires, 21-inch front wheel with wire-spoke wheels and engine protection. The seat height is 86 cm. Sertão describes a savannah landscape in Brazil.
construction
engine
Liquid-cooled four-stroke engine produced from 652 cc a nominal power of 35 kW (48 hp) and a maximum torque of 60 Nm at a speed of 5000 min -1 . The cylinder has a 100 mm diameter bore , the piston has a stroke of 83 mm with a compression ratio of 11.5: 1. In the cylinder head rotate two chain-driven, overhead camshafts , two intake and two exhaust valves to control.
The motor accelerates the two-wheeler from 0 to 100 km / h in 5.1 seconds and enables a top speed of 170 km / h.
landing gear
The chassis is built on a steel bridge frame with side parts and a screwed aluminum rear frame. The rear wheel is guided by a heat-treated two-arm box swing arm made of steel profiles, the front wheel by a telescopic fork with a Ø 41 mm standpipe diameter. A disc brake with a two-piston brake caliper decelerates on the front tire and a disc brake with a single-piston brake caliper at the rear. A standard anti-lock braking system supports the deceleration on both brakes. The maximum payload is 182 kg.
Electrics
The starter battery has a capacity of 12 Ah and supplies the electric starter . A three-phase generator serves as a generator and generates an electrical output of 400 watts to supply the ignition and lighting system as well as the on-board electrical system. An on-board computer next to the analog speedometer provides information on speed, mileage and time.
Fuel supply
The fuel tank has a volume of 14 liters, of which 4 liters are in reserve. The manufacturer recommends the use of unleaded motor gasoline with a knock resistance of at least 91 octane . The exhaust aftertreatment is carried out by a regulated three-way catalytic converter and is below the emission limit values of the Euro-3 emissions standard .
Reviews
“Although the brakes seem slightly blunt when the brakes are applied adaptively, they are now convincing with a decent deceleration. Sharp left bend and up onto a third-order country road. The chassis takes it easy, shields the driver from the roughest bumps, responds cleanly and remains stable. "
“The single-cylinder F 650 GS is back, although it is now called the G 650 GS and looks a little different. All plastic parts have been redesigned, the asymmetrical headlight is also new. The steel bridge frame, the steel box swingarm and the 650 series engine, which Loncin has built in China since September 2007, are old acquaintances. [...] Before making the final purchase decision, however, you should take a test drive on country roads that are as winding as possible, preferably with a rather poor surface. The G 650 GS shows its great strengths on such terrain: unbelievable handiness. Absolute looseness in even the tightest alternating curves, the best stability under all road conditions, excellent feedback and accuracy - you can't be full of praise when you scurry through the Winkelwerk with the 650. "
“In general, the chassis set-up, like the whole motorcycle, is designed for the road. The ride on loose ground is possible, but not particularly recommendable, if only because of the mounted tires with a clear road profile. "
“The G 650 GS is a problem-free, handy companion for everyday life, commuting to work and weekend trips. Your single cylinder is powerful and economical. However, for those who like to ride longer stages for two and want more power, the 1100 Euro surcharge for the F 700 GS is well invested. "
