Theres a switch on the left hand switch gear to turn it on/off, works very well on road even with offroad tyres.

KTM has more power and better supenison plus is lighter, but costs quite a bit more.

I brought this bike for £2400

Awesome looking bike, I love the BMW's.

Is it just me, or does the back of the bike not line up with the rear wheel and swing arm?

Agreed, the subframe or the rear plastics are twisted to the right (from behind).

Does this have the same engine as the GS650? Massive mpg out of that lump, quoted 80mpg according to Bike mag.

Lovely looking machine too, and I love the plastics, it's a very un-BMW looking BMW. Good price too, for the mileage.

The subframe looks fine its just the black plastic fender is flimsy, needs to be removed and a tail tidy fitted.


It would seem Klause off here has done some work on this bike resently and its had new engine side cases which would explain why they look new, just worrying that l dont know how the bike was treated when BMW had it and if the mileage is correct.


Yup same engine as the G650 but has been tuned.

There resonable light for a 650cc, at around 140-150Kg. Feels lighter and smaller than my XR650R.


Have,nt had the change to take it offroad yet though.
