2000 BMW F650

– 2000 BMW F650

Note the 5.5-gallon steel fuel tank. Comfortable saddle. Trademark opposed Boxer twin and drive shaft. Yep, there’s no mistaking this bike for anything other than a BMW. As expected, it’s got versatility coming out the exhaust. Thanks to rock-solid handling and plenty of throaty torque, it can pull triple duty as a pick-up-a-gallon-of-milk bike, a corner carver, or even mile gobbler. Think of it as an 80-horsepower chameleon.
