Yo! good bike the BMW F650GS but thats got a 800cc engine hasnt it if i remember rightly or am i thinking of the other version.
Oh and welcome to WB
yes the F650GS does actually have a 800cc engine as does F800GS but the seat height was just too high on the F800 though its a beautiful bike.Quote:

I would agree the name does seem somewhat strange from what you have said.
Is the seat the only real difference :-?
Seems very strange all this! :-?
Well the F650GS is supposed to be more of an all rounder e.g. lower seat height, able to be restricted , 71hp. The F800GS looks a bit more off road/rugged and with 85hp more powerful too.
I read somewhere that BMW wanted to attract more newbie/lady riders to their GS so they called the F650GS a 650 to sound less powerful! Dunno if thats true or not !! Fancy thinking us ladies can't ride a real bike!!! ;D
