I am listing this motorcycle for a friend. The location of the motorcycle is Tulsa, Oklahoma. While the bike carries the model ID of an F650GS, it has the twin cylinder 800cc engine. From Wikipedia, I have found the following explanation which is better than I could have done:Confusingly, and contrary to industry convention, each model's "number" does not refer to the engine capacity. Instead, each bike in the F-series range uses essentially the same 798 cc (48.7 cu in) engine, but with different power outputs and equipment levels. The parallel-twin engine was first used in the F800S,[1]and is also used in the F800GT, F800R and F800ST, although these bikes are tuned to deliver peak power at a different RPM from the GS models. The GS models have longer suspension travel, needed for offroad use.[2]The F650GS name causes further confusion as it was previously used for a 652 cc (39.8 cu in) BMW bike fitted with a single-cylinder Rotax engine. It was produced from 2000–2007, then relaunched in 2009 as the G650GS, fitted with a Chinese-assembled engine of the same 652 cc capacity.For those of you familiar with the 2012 F650GS the above explanation may not have been necessary but full disclosure for those non-BMW folks is always good. So this motorcycle, while carrying the F650GS name, has the larger 798cc twin cylinder engine. 2012 was the final year for the F650GS and this motorcycle has the Factory Low Suspension package so it is perfect for riders who are 'vertically challenged.'I have known the owner (and wife) for nearly a decade. Have ridden thousands of miles with them around the US and abroad. Their bikes are always clean, properly maintained by BMW certified mechanics, and have the best of the best accessories and options. This bike spent most of its life at their Colorado cabin which is why the mileage is so low. Following are the factory and aftermarket options found on this motorcycle: Factory Low SuspensionFactory Low Seat (seat height is 29.5"; standard seat is still compatible should the new owner prefer that model; standard seat IS NOT INCLUDED in this auction) Parallel twin 800cc (71 horsepower) BMW Side Cases BMW Top Case Akrapovic Muffler Center Stand 18” Tall Windscreen PIAA Lights Crash Bars Hyper-Lite LED Brake Lights Skid Plate Hand Guards On Board Computer Only 3,091 milesIn summary, this bike is in excellent condition and has the best options for a shorter rider. These Factory Low Suspension Package bikes are hard to find. Even harder to find are these motorcycles with low miles, in such great condition and with all the high end accessories. This is a great motorcycle to own and feel secure about its history. Feel free to email any questions. Serious buyers will be provided the contact information of the owner and can talk directly about the condition and details of the motorcycle along with its history.
