BMW Faqs

BMW has released the 2009 F 650 GS as an entry level model to BMW Motorrad dealerships all across the United States. The new motorcycle has 71 horsepower and is equipped with a twin-cylinder engine that offers more power then its predecessor did with its single cylinder engine.

It has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $8,255 (excluding freight). The Standard Package, offered at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $9,760, (excluding freight) includes heated hand grips, Anti-Lock Brakes, an on-board computer, and white turn signals. The 2009 F 650 GS is available in three colors - Flame Red, Iceberg Silver Metallic, and Azur Blue Metallic.

According to certain rumors flying around the internet BMW is building a three wheeled C1-type motorcycle. BMW has already produced three engines that will power the new motorcycle.

The three motors are all based on the same 80 degree, four-valve per cylinder, liquid-cooled, V-twin cylinder lay-out. The smallest is 500cc making around 33bhp, the next is a 650 belching out around 55bhp while the top of range will be 800cc that kicks out 75bhp. According to the factory moles, any thoughts of front-wheel drive have been ditched by the firm in order to keep costs down. Paralever suspension seemd on the cards for the entire range though.

This may be BMW’s most innovative and unusual motorcycle designs that we have ever seen. Some of the more unsual designs that we have seen in the past are the Telelever, Duolever, and Paralevel suspension configurations.

This proves that the fertile engineering minds at BMW haven’t stopped trying to improve the basic two-wheels-and-an-engine ethos of the motorcycle. Using a flexi-frame which pivots and hinges at most any conceivable location, the computer controlled chassis would be able to right itself even when the rider or outside influences would dictate a crash. Unfortunately for now we don’t have much information.
