BMW introduced the F650 in 1993, marking its return to the single-cylinder market after a long hiatus. Developed with Aprilia and using a durable 652cc Rotax engine, the original carbureted 'Funduro' was an immediate success. It offered a mix of on-road comfort and light off-road capability. In 2000, the line was updated to the F650GS and the more off-road focused F650GS Dakar, featuring fuel injection and updated styling. The F650 name was later used on a de-tuned 798cc twin-cylinder model, creating some confusion but continuing the bike's legacy of accessibility.
Buying Tips
- Check the water pump for leaks, a common issue on the Rotax single. A small weep hole will show signs of coolant or oil if the seals are failing.
- On fuel-injected GS models, verify the health of the battery and charging system. These bikes can have running issues with a weak battery.
- Inspect the steering head and swingarm bearings for any notchiness or play, as many of these bikes have seen off-road use.
- Look for a complete service history. Regular oil changes and valve checks are crucial for the longevity of the single-cylinder engine.
- Examine consumables like the chain, sprockets, and tires. Replacing worn items can add significant cost to an otherwise cheap bike.
