The stunning new F 650 GS Special Edition combines the boldness of the Sun Yellow with a subtle Black Silk Gloss to give the F 650 GS its best look yet

... and how much extra do the mugs have to pay for this 'Special Edition' ?

Just over half the price of a R1200GSA with some bling..........????

 

[Farmer Palmer]

Would make sense I suppose seeing as its just over half the bike.

OK!


Actually......I quite like it in a more is less sort of way!

Looks like an f800gs to me, only with alloy wheels

I like the way BMW have switched the frame from black to silver for 2012 compared to triumph 8's vice versa

+1 my Initial thoughts

what a rip off. Well done BMW. More money for old rope.....

Not feeling the grey frame / swingarm - surely the bumblebee look is a black/yellow thing like on the 800? Do like the GS stickers on sides though. Imagine them in 3M black reflective adhesive...

On an aside - and this could be my imagination - has anyone seen the new 658 front mudguard that looks like the 800 one? I think it would be a worthwhile upgrade seeing as everyone has fenda extenda's and the like. Plus it adds more size to the front end that can look a little skinny from some angles...

Can't find a pic right now

Dealer here has a demo that the chief sales guy rides.
It is a smart looking bike, at least the hefty price makes sure my old red 2009 hasn't lost that much value on the used market.

Do you mean like the one that sits a higher, wider at the front forks and just shorter than the beak kinda Rally style ?


a bit like this :

+1 nothing new, that came out in 2008 on the F8GS

Found it...

...try to ignore the colour scheme though

twin discs too...that model is different to the one on BM site, is this a further new model,?? , rear end looks a bit 1200ish, this puts it more in line with the Tiger 800 road i think, and how it should have looked from the start and called F800gs Road, and finally looks as smart as the F800gs i reckon .My next bike i think

Adventure screen too - anyone know if this bike is likely to be a reality or it's just a mockup?

 

[Wal2]

they give a little review on the site in the link, even translated from French using google it sounds like a new model

 

[Gert]

It's a 'photomontage'. Says so beneath pic.

[tosh23]

Ok I get it...Its an 800 with 650 engine internals...So its an 800 that does 75mpg....perfect

 

[siwhite]

I think a 1200GSA with an F800 engine would be pretty good as well..... Appears similar to the photomontage in the link above.
