BMW G650GS

The BMW G650GS and G650 Sertão are motorcycles manufactured by BMW Motorrad. In late 2008 BMW relaunched the original single-cylinder F650GS under the new name G650GS in the United States, Latin America, China, Taiwan and Australia, essentially the 2007 F650GS brought back into production with minor modifications and an engine assembled by Loncin in China instead of Rotax in Austria, with the finished engines shipped to Germany for assembly. The G650GS received a stronger 400 watt alternator and three more horsepower, to 53 hp, and in the United States and Australia ABS and heated grips became standard. In 2010 BMW announced global availability of a down-rated version with 35 kW (47 hp). In 2012 the more off-road capable G650GS Sertão filled the gap left when the F650GS Dakar was discontinued in 2008, and both models were discontinued in 2017.
