Powered by a water cooled in-line twin cylinder 800cc engine producing 71hp @ 7000rpm and 75Nm of torque @ 4500rpm, BMW F650 GS is no slouch and can easily keep a good pace both on and off the road, however it has been launched at a price premium that we feel only a select few would be willing or for that matter, can afford to pay.

This is a real shame, considering that fact that bikes like BMW F650 GS are perfect for touring in India and can easily cope up with even the worst roads India has to offer and could have easily filled the void which exists at the moment.

But then again, BMWs don’t come cheap and this one costing nearly the same as a Japanese liter bike is no different!
