Dakar is just around the corner. 8/9 Life has its ups and downs. But with a spring travel of 210 mm you are always on top. 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. [. . . ] The dual ignition system, already enthusiastically welcomed in the Boxer engine series, is now also being incorporated into the latest single cylinder generation. Powerful output is already available at 2, 000 rpm and thanks to the compensation shaft, the single cylinder develops its power gently but with determination and from 4, 000 rpm is nothing less than a power station. Together with the Two Spark dual ignition system, the BMS-C II engine management system, with its quintuple calculation speed, considerably reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. Cruising at 75 mph the reduction compared to the predecessor amounts to 0. 7 l to 4. 3 l per hundred kilometres. And the torque curve has been optimised into the bargain while meeting the EU3 emissions standard with ease. The 50-bhp (37-kW) single-cylinder engine is also available in a reduced power version with 34 bhp (25 kW), for new riders. 1 The clear glass headlamp now features considerably improved road illumination. 1 2 2 The windshield has been optimised in a wind tunnel to reduce wind pressure considerably.
