presentation of the F 650 GS 2004

a few minor tweaks to the F 650 GS to start 2004 with a smile. The engine benefits from the dual ignition system that had colonized all twin-equipped BMs. Combined with a new electronic engine management system, the single-ignition engine should offer greater riding pleasure, as well as lower pollution and fuel consumption. The headlamp and front mudguard have been modified, as have a number of other small details, all with the aim of making everyday life more pleasant. The F is also available in a very attractive Dakar version. BM has not forgotten its glory days in the sand dunes.

Idem

Soulac JL Model 2004

Good mono, qualities and faults like all of them, but 4.6 l per 100, that's top. 69000km and so far I'm a fan. I have the police version with backrest are, and expandable hard cases. no hitchhiking passengers, my wife appreciates... 07/10/2024 18:44 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Soulac JL

alarme

bouille Model 2005

I have a 2005 650, which has an alarm that discharges the battery in two weeks if I don't drive. It consumes 160 ml amps 06/03/2020 19:04 Rating : 4/5 Respond to bouille

Thierry31 Model 2007

Good engine, excellent chassis and good handling. Good acceleration and torque.
Shortcomings:
Little flexibility (you have to be at the right rpm)
ABS on rear wheel too intrusive
Engine (mono) unpleasant on freeways, better with a long gear ratio (16x 42 ) and the speedometer works well. 02/03/2019 18:27 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Thierry31

c'est la moto qu'on oublie...

riton 66 Model 2005

All's well, it's a machine you can count on...
Except that maintenance is relatively costly, but it's a BMW...and if you're not a bit of a mechanic, you have to have it done.... 09/04/2018 19:15 Rating : 5/5 Respond to riton 66

babache 89 Model 2005

I own a 2005 f650gs and am satisfied with it in every way. Of course, it's nothing like a real sports bike, but in my fifties, it's a wise choice. Truly a great bike. 03/22/2015 19:42 Rating : 5/5 Respond to babache 89

boopisteph Model 2004

motorcycle that's up to the job.
It's only a 650, so not very torquey or powerful, which is to be expected.
It starts on the quarter without a hitch.
Fuel consumption is ridiculous - 5 L when spinning.
The bmw high bubble has been straightened to provide better protection, while the low bubble is non-existent for protection.
Steering column bearing replaced.
Original chain kit has 24,000 kms and there's still some margin in the tension.
A deux ca frotte vite ...
Efficient ABS braking.
Nice heated grips!
Trail, road, path, mountain, city, it's good for everything.
I'd only switch to the 1200 gs or explore just to gain a little more horsepower and torque.
This 650gs is economical, practical, reliable and versatile. 12/07/2014 09:01 Rating : 4/5 Respond to boopisteph

same !! model 2004 37000 km

11 years of loyal service!!!
incredibly manÅ"uvrable (like a bike!)
1st 2nd mole because of electronic management (computer)

good recovery 3,4,5th

just the rear bearing screwed up at 7000 km and the metal oil hose oozing under warranty.
chain kit at 25000 km
fuel consumption 4 liters per cent! 09/26/2015 18:38 Rating : 5/5 Participate in the conversation

Bmw Marko

Romania was the best producer of bearings.
World-famous ,it exported almost 50 years for all the car manufacturers companies as well as the big industrial companies.
So itâ€™s an honor, not a disgrace!
All parts, even metal ones, have a limited lifespan!
