We use the reliable BMW F 650 GS Single bikes for our tours in Alaska, Canada, South Africa, South America, Great Britain and New Zealand. They are easy to ride, and can handle a wide range of terrain.
A good all-around motorcycle with street savvy and the ability to go off-road, the BMW F 650 GS is a bike-of-all-trades. It is a great adventure bike for our tours.
Engine:
The single cylinder 650 engine is very reliable and puts out good power.
Ride and Handling:
The BMW F 650 is a good street bike and easy to ride. It is also very acceptable in the dirt….which makes this bike a good choice for our adventure tours. It can be a bit top heavy, so riders should keep in mind it is not a true off-road bike.
Reliablility:
The engine is solid, and the chassis can take the punishment of long dirt days. Electric start is the name of the game, and the reliability of this bike is one of the best.
Equipment:
On our tours, the BMW F 650 is outfitted with tank bags and saddle bags. This should give the rider plenty of room for storage during the day. They are also outfitted with a BMW compatible electric outlet.
