The BMW F650GS and F650GS Dakar, produced from 2000 to 2004, are adventure motorcycles designed for both on and off-road riding. These models were known for their rugged construction, comfortable ergonomics, and powerful, fuel-efficient single-cylinder engines. The F650GS, with its lower suspension and street-oriented tires, was more suited for paved roads and light off-roading. In contrast, the F650GS Dakar, with its higher suspension, knobby tires, and larger fuel tank, was designed for long-distance adventures and challenging off-road conditions.

Both models featured a 652cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produced approximately 50 horsepower. This engine was known for its reliability and smooth power delivery, especially at lower RPMs. The F650GS and F650GS Dakar were also equipped with a 5-speed transmission and a shaft drive, providing a smooth and quiet ride. The motorcycles boasted a robust frame and suspension, with a telescopic fork in the front and a single swingarm with a monoshock in the rear. The F650GS Dakar had adjustable suspension allowing riders to fine-tune the motorcycle for different terrain and riding styles. The combination of its comfortable riding position, long-travel suspension, and durable construction made the F650GS and F650GS Dakar popular choices for adventure riders seeking a comfortable and capable motorcycle for exploring both paved and unpaved roads.
