    General comments: I own a 2004 BMW F650GS. I've has this bike for 5 years and am enjoying it as much as the first day I rode it. Its the perfect bike for me. Lots of power for my driving needs, - comfortable on dirt roads, or open highway. It is light and manouveralble and easy to maintain - I do most of the maintenance myself.

    Had this 2004 ' twin-spark 'BMW F650GS for 18 months, have fitted a Techlusion Fuel Nanny fuel system " surge eliminated and can adjust without a BMW computer (so it ' s paid for itself). Front end has progressive fork springs so even better handling, and had the seat rebuilt with gel insert so the long distance runs e.g. Scotland to Kent/Bristol twice, much more comfortable. Fuel consumption is astonishing, have even considered sending money to the OPEC people as I feel I ' m not paying my w ...

    I purchased the BMW F650GS for work commute, and weekend camping. Bike is easy to handle and fun to ride Viewed as entry level, it seems suitable for highway and backroad, even for a six ft, 200 pounder. Also own 2 big cruisers and Kaw versys.
    This bike lives up to the BMW rep for quality. I feel like I'm on a well built machine, no rattles or squeaks. Remember you get what you pay for.

    The BMW F650GS is a good allround commuter and definitely value for money.
    A pleasure to ride all day. Smooth ride, no saddle fatique, weight distribution excellent. Effortless cornering, rapid response on throttle, brakes need getting used to though, very fuel efficient. Overall a masterpiece of engineering. Haven't had it long enough to find any bad points.

    Great bike, perfect for commuting in town and for tours outside. The passenger seat is comfortable as well. Only little consumption of fuel. Very round and elastic power engine. beautiful look: mine is a DAKAR!!!

    A really great all round motorcycle. Easy to ride and lovely build quality. Low centre of gravity. Very comfortable to ride. Very good suspension. Excellent as commuter or tourer. Very reliable. Excellent abs brakes.

    The BMW F650 is an outstanding motorcycle. Great commuter bike, although I would do some work with the seat if you wanted to take it on a long distance ride. Overall I am thrilled with it, and every time I think of trading it for the next big thing - I think of a reason not to!

    I have the 2006 model F650GS. I use it mainly to commute in gridlocked Johannesburg, but on weekends out in the countryside. I have taken the standard F650GS up Sani Pass. It handles this rugged 4x4 terrain with ease. This bike is an absolute pleasure to ride. I hope it stays with me forever, I never want to sell it.

    Great commuter and decent tourer. I do about 30,000km in a year on the bike and it never misses a beat !!
    Great after-sales service as with all BMW bikes!
    Very economic and very capable on and off road.
    It will be missed when the F800GS comes out !!

    The BMW F650GS bikes are used all over the world and for a good reason; they are so versatile and come with a bomb proof engine. Mine has only been used for commuting duties at present - but now it is run-in and the sun is appearing in the sky more often, I hope to take it on some longer trips.

    Driving a BMW F650GS has really been one of my best experience in life, considering I've driven many bikes in the past, being a mono you won't believe the way the power is given at all speed. I thing it should be a must to try one! Really a must, ideal to connect for work, light and cheap (£60 tax and about £300 insurance!!!...per year), and fully enjoiable for light touring and not afraid of long journey (my last 900 miles).
