2009 BMW
F650GS
MSRP $8,255
The all-new 2009 F650GS offers more power and more thrills per mile than ever before in the form of a 71 hp, torque-filled, twin cylinder engine. From touring, to off-road exploring, to sporty handling on the tarmac, this middleweight machine, based on the much anticipated F800GS, does anything and everything the ambitious motorcyclist could ever want.

Easy to ride, always performs well in all road and weather conditions. The only thing I wish BMW would do is make a seat that doesn't make you want to go out and spend another $400.00 on a new seat. Very uncomfortable seat after 1 - 2 hour rides. Besides that the bike is a great one to own.

I bought this baby on late april of '09 and haven't stopped riding it. I use it everyday for commuting into Manhattan from Brooklyn and the motorcycle handles like a dream. Potholes not a problem, tight squeezes thru traffic not a problem. It is very responsive and just right amount of power for my needs (de-tuned 798 cc). I have also tested it on the NJ Turnpike at high speeds and pulls like demon, it is no race bike but it will make you smile and keep up with other bikes. It is very well designed machine. The gas tank is under the seat for a low C.o.G. I got the package with heated hand grips, center stand, on board computer with tire pressure monitor and alarm. They are all very very useful. In my honest opinion I think it is a much better engine that the single cylinder of the previous generation. Absolutely the best.
