Motorcycle specifications BMWF 650 ST 2000 Mono de qualité

presentation of the F 650 ST 2000

displaced by the F 650 GS, the F 650 remains a user-friendly urban single. Its engine, made by Rotax, is a close cousin of the Aprilia Pegaso's, but here equipped with a 4-valve cylinder head (5 on the Italian). The ST differs from the GS in that its equipment is more roadworthy: 18" front wheels instead of 19, short-travel rear suspension, reworked fairing and barely modified instrument panel. Comfort is present, the seat is soft, but the shock absorber is somewhat harsh. Prejudicial on rough roads. Protection is just right at sustained speeds; a high bubble is recommended if you want to carve up the road. The F doesn't just rely on its prestigious manufacturer to please - the machine is easy to handle, high-performance, easy to maneuver and a pleasure to ride every day.

Go730 Model 1997

Hello, A2 driving licence in hand, I bought a 1997 funduro with 71,000 km. Today, 18 months later and nearly 3,000 km, I have no worries apart from the leaking oil filler cap and the flashing control unit which occasionally acts up. Easy to drive in all weathers. Seems a bit greedy at 6l/100km 03/20/2024 16:20 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Go730

Est-elle accessible avec le A2 en version full (48CV) ?

Pierrot56 Model 1997

Hi, is the F650 Funduro available with the A2 in full version (48CV)?
I've found one but on the registration it says MTT2. What can I do?

After a few web searches and a check with BMW Moto's press office, I always find weight figures between 187 and 191 kilos fully loaded
I don't know what the 264 kilos are. But I'll be sure to let you know if I find out. 01/31/2021 18:41 Rating : 4/5 Participate in the conversation

Éric le Valett Model 1997

Hello,

i've had a BMW F650 strada since my A2 licence a little over a year ago and frankly I'm not disappointed. It's a bike that's easy to handle, pleasant to ride every day... Even more so since I fitted the high bubble and handguards.
I had to change and relocate the cruise control because it doesn't ventilate well under the seat.
As for the engine, it's really nice to have a big single that kicks out nicely.
The only downside is that it knocks under 3,000 rpm, but this can be remedied by fitting irridum spark plugs and changing the anti-parasitic devices.
I'd recommend this bike or its Funduro counterpart, which has a 19" Av wheel instead of an 18" for better off-road riding.
The BMW F650 is as affordable on the budget as it is on the maintenance front.
V to all bikers. 05/08/2018 16:28 Rating : 3/5 Respond to Éric le Valett

Can anyone tell me more?

Hello, I got my A2 license in July 2018. We bought a 1994 F 650 Funduro. Of course it has 48hp but the official calculation according to the registration P2:G1=0,185 (35kw:189kg=0,185), is less than 0,19. It just about passes the test without needing to be limited. 04/21/2019 18:22 Rating : 4/5 Participate in the conversation

laurentdetrois Model 1997

After 15 years of various sports bikes, an eight-year break from motorcycling (too many radar cameras), I've discovered this really great bike for everyday use. It's a shame that the tips of my feet rub when I climb a mountain pass, but otherwise it's a quiet, comfortable ride. 01/14/2017 19:55 Rating : 5/5 Respond to laurentdetrois

marsupilami38 Model 1999

super machine, in the mountains I'm having a blast with it. the braking is a bit short, but with practice it does the trick
for everyday rides, it's the best.
for long trips, I ride a 1999 Hayabusa, which is also a treat. 10/06/2015 19:09 Rating : 4/5 Respond to marsupilami38

Supertiti Model 1997

After wearing out several gromono trail bikes on African roads and tracks, I bought a Strada 650 a year ago, with only 16,000 km on the odometer, for only 1,200â'¬. (I think it was the odd green-blue color that dissuaded other potential buyers. (I think it was the weird green-blue color that put off other potential buyers) I didn't know this Rotax model and was in a state of expectation. But I was wrong! As soon as I got on it (easily), I felt that I was dealing with a very comfortable bike, and from the very first turns of the wheel I was seduced by its road-going character. Of course, you'll often have to play with the gears, in town or on winding roads, to keep the mono in the right revs and avoid grazing it at low revs. But the beauty has good acceleration and bites the road with ease. Fitted with heated handgrips, winter has passed like an armchair, and I'm ready to put the miles on with confidence with this BMW that maintains the brand's reputation!... 06/14/2015 23:04 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Supertiti

GUILLAUME Model 1997

bonjour à tous les motards, c\'est ma troisième moto, et j\'ai toujours les 2 autres :D un vfr750 rc36 et un 240tdr. This bmw, I acquired by chance, an ad on leboncoin for an exchange against car even with repairs. My car needed repairs that made me want to make this exchange. The bm had an odometer with more than 80000km blocked^^. it wasn't clean and it stalled at low revs (regulator and airbox dislodged and filter disintegrated, so the gas mixture was too poor) and the seller said in his revised bike ad, what a myth! i had to overhaul everything from A to Z. The power supply was rotten, the regulator was shot, I rebuilt everything, bearings, brakes, starter freewheel which disconnects after 70,000 km it seems, and the aesthetics, paint, upholstery and I equipped it with a dynojet and a GPR pot. but I can tell you one thing, the engine block, it's solid, it's rotax, it runs like clockwork and it has all its power, I haven't touched the block which was very breast. It's great fun to ride, it goes everywhere. It's a good bike that I recommend without concessions. CIAO ;) 03/27/2015 21:09 Rating : 5/5 Respond to GUILLAUME

Stiou Model 1997

Hello,

i acquired a F650ST in Sept 2013, and until Sept 2014 it was running well when it started to graze and stall. After pushing it for several kilometers because no trailers or breakdown assistance, I've never been able to get it running again, it has always presented dysfunctions and coughs, misfires and stalls on its own

I've been told that the carburetors need cleaning... it's true that I've driven 10,000 km without cleaning the carburetors, changing the spark plugs or draining the oil... I'll have to look into it when I have the time..

Hello everyone, my father gave me my first motorcycle as a present :) a 650 Strada but I have a question that's been bothering me, as I don't have a tank gauge, roughly how many km do you fill up?

Yffic Narbonne membre de l'équipe

Yes, so for the F650 ST, you have a 17.5L fuel tank, for an average fuel consumption of less than 4L/100km, so before you run out of fuel, I think you can do 250km.
After that, it depends on how fast you're going, what kind of road you're on...
I've never had the chance to try out this model.

Hello. When I pull the throttle, I fill up at 250 kms. You can go up to 300 kms but don't forget that you only have 2 liters in reserve. Best regards. 07/14/2014 11:51 Rating : 3/5 Participate in the conversation

muslyc Model 1997

I've had an F 650 ST for 12 years (bought in April 1997)! Since then, I've used it every day (even in winter) without any problems. Today, it has 50,000 km and apart from normal maintenance (quite expensive, I must say) I haven't had any serious problems. Now I aspire to something better, especially without a chain! ! !. I'm thinking of the R 1200 GS, but that's a bit expensive! And I'm short on legs. The 1200 GS is a bit high.... 06/10/2009 21:27 Rating : 5/5 Respond to muslyc

olivierntt Model 1997

I've just bought an F 650 STRADA; it dates from August 1997, has always been perfectly maintained and has only covered 20,000 km. I'm just discovering it because I've only had it since February 13... I went to Mulhouse to pick it up and I'll remember it for a long time because I came home with the beautiful F650 in the oise region... For the record, I hadn't been on a motorcycle since 1994... I won't draw you a picture. It's a great bike... it stays well in line in all weathers; you really get a feeling of security; the power is progressive; the only minor complaint about the gearbox is that the first gear is a bit short; otherwise it's a blast. From a riding comfort point of view, the suspension adjustment knob is appreciable. On the dashboard, I deplore the fact that I can't see the fuel level
This is my second motorcycle (the first is continuing its life in Africa in Dakar); I think I'll keep it for a few years before moving up a notch
Best regards to all F650 owners and other motorcyclists
