The most popular dual purpose single in the 250+cc category, the G 650 GS has become the standard upon which single-cylinder dual purpose motorcycles are judged. Aggressively engineered for unrelenting performance in harsh environments, the G 650 GS was designed to take riders off-road and on to new frontiers. The 2009 model features a 2 SPARK ignition system, a 3-position clutch lever, newly designed windscreen, accessory power socket, and improved on-board electronics.
