2007 BMW F650GS Dakar

Back to nature with the power of the machine. On rough off-road tracks. Over sand dunes. Through canyons. And not forgetting the urban jungle. The BMW F650GS Dakar always finds its way through. This is the sports version of the BMW F650GS. For Enduro trekking and off-road action. With longer spring travel, its large 21-inch front wheel and special Enduro tyres, the BMW F650GS Dakar always takes you straight to your destination – nothing gets in its way. But it’s also kind to the environment. The new engine management system BMS-C II together with dual ignition and a closed-loop three-way catalytic converter enables lower fuel consumption and reduced exhaust emissions. The four-valve single-cylinder engine has power you can just feel waiting to be unleashed. Coupled with refined running gear, it makes the BMW F650GS Dakar a decisive force that keeps control even in extreme situations.

MSRP*: $10,400.00

From the desert, through the river in the forest, and down to the beach. With the
extra long travel suspension, the big 21 inch front wheel and enduro typres, the
BMW F 650 GS Dakar takes the direct route to its destination – as the crow flies.
It’s a great boost when the suspension is fettled for rough terrain from the outset.
Including the concrete jungle of the big cities.

On gravel tracks. Over sand dunes. Through rocky ravines. The BMW F 650 GS Dakar
always finds its own way. Because this is the off-road sports model of the F 650 GS series.
The BMW F 650 GS is for enduro trecking and trail riding. Dakar is just around the corner.
