BMWF650 1999 - 2000

　　In 1999, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW F650, a multi-purpose adventure machine that debuted in 1994 in the European market and in 1997 in the American market.

　　The bike was part of the F650 family that debuted in 1993 and comprised the F650ST Strada and the Funduro version. Compared to the Funduro model, the BMW F650ST was a more street-oriented motorcycle.

　　The BMW F650 Funduro had a longer wheelbase, more ground clearance, a taller seat, a higher-mounted front fairing, and a larger 19-inch front wheel, which made it a multi-purpose motorcycle with off-road capabilities.

　　In the appearance department, the motorcycle packed standard features, such as a rectangular headlight, a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, a small luggage rack, lightweight wire-spoke wheels, and a center stand.

　　Underneath its fairing, the 1999 BMW F650 had installed a 652cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 48 hp with maximum strength at 6,500 rpm and 57 Nm (42 lb-ft) torque at 5,200 rpm.

　　The bike's power was handled by a five-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch linked to the rear wheel through a final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to 165 kph (103 mph).

　　In the braking department, the machine packed a 300 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 210 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel, providing optimum stopping power.
