The 1999 BMW F650

Thrills without frills.

 





A 652-cc twin-cam single supplies power. It breathes through four valves, dual Mikuni carbs and an upswept exhaust header. The numbers say it puts out 48 horsepower at 6,500 rpm. A serious ride will tell you it has enough torque to assault some challenging hills, sludge through mudholes and move out smartly on the street. In other words, generally put a smile on your face. And unlike some single-cylinder bikes, it does all this with surprising smoothness. Colors: 695 Flame Red, 715 Deep Black, and 749 Blue Metallic Metallic Seat Color: Black Standard Equipment: High standard windshield, braced handlebars, high mounted stainless steel exhaust with open loop catalytic converter. Roadside Assistance Package & MSF Riding Course is also included. Retail Price: $7,900.00 (includes freight)
