Bmw F 650 Gs
The Bmw F 650 Gs has a top speed of 175 km/h, produces 50 hp and weighs 199 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
La BMW F 650 GS se presentó en 2000 como una evolución de la F 650 Funduro, con un motor monocilíndrico de origen Rotax y posicionada como un turismo de aventura para principiantes. En 2008 se llevó a cabo un importante rediseño, cuando BMW optó por una plataforma de motor bicilíndrico paralelo que compartía con la F 800 GS, aunque conservó el nombre de la F 650 GS con una versión desafinada de 650 cc de esa bicilíndrica. Se hizo popular en todo el mundo por su tamaño manejable, su altura de asiento relativamente baja y su versatilidad tanto para desplazamientos urbanos como para un uso ligero fuera de la carretera.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Rotax Engine Reliability
The F 650 GS uses a bulletproof Rotax single-cylinder engine shared with other manufacturers, known for lasting well over 100,000 km with basic maintenance. It's one of the most reliable BMW adventure bikes ever built.
Watch for Valve Clearances
The most common issue is neglected valve clearance checks, which should be done every 10,000 km — skipping these leads to costly engine damage. Always ask for full service history before buying used.
Strong Resale Value
The F 650 GS holds its value exceptionally well due to its beginner-friendly reputation, low seat height, and strong demand from new riders. Well-maintained examples rarely sit unsold for long.

"La droga de entrada más amigable a la equitación de aventura."
Recorrí 22 000 km con una F650GS del 2003 y rara vez perdía el ritmo: la Rotax single no se rompe, arranca limpiamente desde las 2500 rpm y consume combustible como ninguna otra en el segmento. La rueda delantera de 19 pulgadas le da una confianza en carreteras de tierra que sorprende a los principiantes, aunque no te engañes: la arena profunda o los retorcidos senderos de un solo circuito dejan al descubierto los 198 kg de peso en mojado. La vibración de las barras por encima de los 120 km/h desaparece en los largos días de carretera, y el asiento de serie se convierte en un rallador de queso al cabo de dos horas. No es emocionante, pero es honesto, y para alguien que está aprendiendo a hacer giras o a jugar fuera de la carretera, esa honestidad es exactamente lo que necesita.
Pros
Contras
Nuevo motor bicilíndrico paralelo de 798 cc compartido con la F 800 GS, chasis más grande, suspensión y frenado mejorados.
"La 800 gemela disfrazada, excelente arma de aventura diaria."
Básicamente, BMW le dio a la F 650 GS el motor F 800 GS y lo llamó el hermano menor: con 71 CV, se mueve limpiamente desde 3000 rpm y nunca se queda sin aliento en carreteras o en curvas de montaña. La altura del asiento de 820 mm es realmente manejable para los ciclistas más bajos, y la opción de suspensión más baja la reduce aún más sin perder la compostura. Lo que más me frustra es el peso en superficie mojada de 207 kg, lo que, sinceramente, es demasiado parecido al de la F 800 GS como para justificar que se trata de una máquina ligera: se siente cada kilo cuando se lucha contra una pista embarrada o cuando se coge después de un vuelco a baja velocidad. El consumo de combustible es razonable, alrededor de 4,5 l/100 km, el ABS inspira confianza y la calidad de construcción suele ser a prueba de balas de BMW, pero la suspensión de la configuración estándar está afinada con tanta suavidad que se hunde de forma agresiva al frenar bruscamente.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"A honest, capable used buy that rarely disappoints sensible riders."
$3,500-$6,500 usedThe F650GS is one of those bikes that quietly does everything right without making a fuss about it. It's not glamorous, but for a used adventure-lite machine, it punches well above its price point. The parallel-twin version from 2008 onwards is the one you want — smoother, more capable, and genuinely fun on both tarmac and light dirt. Budget around $4,000-$6,000 and you'll find decent examples with reasonable miles. Mechanically these are tough little units, but do your homework. Check the throttle bodies for carbon buildup — it causes rough idling and costs money to fix properly. Inspect the frame around the sidestand mount, a known weak point on higher-mileage bikes. Service history matters here; neglected valve checks will bite you eventually. The ABS pump on early models can also be pricey if it fails. Ride one before you commit and you'll immediately understand why these sell fast. Comfortable ergonomics, forgiving handling, and enough grunt to feel relaxed on motorways without ever feeling intimidating. It's a brilliant starter adventure bike that experienced riders still genuinely enjoy.
