BMW'S F650 GS was discontinued back in 2008 but in a surprising turn around it was revamped and reintroduced as the G650 GS this year. Now there's a new version that's been added to the range, the G650 GS Sertão.

Named after a Brazilian hinterland, presumably to spark ideas like: “Wouldn't it be great to ride there!” (rather than the more likely thought of: “What an odd name!”) the Sertão is more off-road-capable version of the GS, with longer-travel suspension, new paint and a smattering of bolt-on goodies. No word yet on price or availability.

Here's BMW's original blurb:

BMW G 650 GS Sertão – the sporty BMW single cylinder enduro for offroad and everyday.

With its new BMW G 650 GS Sertão, BMW Motorrad has added a new, sporting chapter to the history of single cylinders in the BMW GS family. Whereas the G 650 GS thrilled riders with its lean, wiry offroad stature, the G 650 GS Sertão promises even more sporting characteristics, even greater offroad capabilities, and an even stronger desire for adventure. And all of this without any sacrifice to the established virtues of a BMW single cylinder endure such as everyday practicality, appealing price-performance ratio, and playful riding properties.

Chassis for greater offroad practicality, optimised touring properties, and dynamic design.

On the technical side, the new G 650 GS Sertão uses the established liquid cooled, high-torque single cylinder engine of the G 650 GS with two overhead camshafts, fuel injection, and double ignition. Its 652 cc displacement delivers 35 kW (48 hp) at 6500 rpm and a max torque of 60 Nm at 5000 rpm. Options include output reduction to 25 kW (34 hp) at 6500 rpm and 47 Nm torque at 4500 rpm.

Whereas the G 650 GS chassis was developed primarily for country roads and light offroad use, the Sertão presents far greater offroad practicality in the form of longer spring travels and tighter tuning. In addition, it is fitted with wire spoke wheels.

Also the new colour concept underscores the dynamic character of the single cylinder enduro.

The essential features of the new BMW G 650 GS Sertão at a glance:

· High-torque and low-consumption single cylinder engine with 652 cc displacement. Max torque of 60 Nm at 5000 rpm and max output of 35 kW (48 hp) at 6500 rpm. Output reduction to 25 kW (34 hp) available.
· Offroad chassis concept with long spring travels (front/rear 210 mm).
· Wire spoke wheels with light alloy rims. Wheel sizes 21“ front and 17“ rear.
· Dynamic colour concept in Aura White / Arroyo Blue with Sertão lettering and seat in black/grey.
· Luggage carrier in black.
· Extended top front wheel cover.
· Two seat heights: 860 mm (standard) and 900 mm (special accessory).
· High windscreen.
· Hand protectors.
· Engine guard of aluminium.
· Disengageable BMW Motorrad ABS (option ex works).
· Extensive range of special accessories.

Drool Maall..!!

Just that the average seat height of 860 mm is too much for average height Indians


That's because in most of Europe, after the..

[1] First level of licencing which limits to 125 cc, 15 PS, 16-18 years of age.

it is the..

[2] Second level of licencing which limits to 33-34 Ps/bhp (with no Engine cc limitation) and (if I remember correctly probably) till 20-21 years of age.


That's why most 600 cc bikes come with an option of limiting the bhp output to 33-34 Ps/bhp, till European biker blokes graduate to the next level of licencing. That's one reason why the Ninja 250R currently makes 33 Ps.

You said it.. but "stilts" would be a better word here

"Seat height" is one specification detail which I look even before the power/torque figures.

Aaha...nice tactics!!! I'm wondering, if there's a technology barrier to restrict SBK's from 33/60 & full.

Also this provoked another question - How does the law ensure that a person holding second level license IS riding with 33Ps & not with 48 hp on the road
