The BMW F 650

"Funduro" new to CA in '97!

 


In many parts of the world the BMW F 650, known to some as the "Funduro", is the new shooting star of the motorcycling scene. The 1995 Bike of the Year in Australia, most-sold BMW motorcycle in Germany, three German design awards for the highest quality of design -- now that record is really something to be proud of!

The BMW F 650 "Funduro" combines all the important components of a modern motorcycle; bringing together advanced technological systems and expressive styling. The single-cylinder engine which requires little maintenance is extremely responsive. This new engine is the true heart of a motorcycle concept designed to guarantee the sheer joy of riding. It offers a suitable ground clearance for an off-road excursion, the greatest ease of handling when bouncing around the town, and an agile maneuverability for getting out of tight spots.

In addition, the BMW F 650 "Funduro" offers both a high levelof comfort while seated and a lowered seating position for "smaller" riders.
