BMWF650 Funduro 1993 - 1994

　　In 1993, BMW pushed into the market the F 650 Funduro as a new entry-level model. The Funduro bike was developed by joining forces with the motorcycle manufacturer Aprilia and the engine supplier Rotax. The Euro bike, designed as a street-oriented enduro motorcycle, could also be handled on light terrain.

　　The model was the first BMW motorcycle designed without a drive shaft and instead used a roller chain that delivered the power to the rear wheel.

　　Besides the role of the ideal entry-level motorcycle for beginner riders, it also was appreciated and won the sympathy of women motorcyclists, and side by side with the two-cylinder GS, the Funduro transformed into the most successful model in BMW’s range.

　　The 1993 BMW F 650 Funduro, powered by a 652cc single-cylinder engine with a power output of 48 hp at 6,500 rpm and 57 Nm (42 lb-ft) of torque and equipped with a five-speed manual transmission propelled the 189 kg (417 lbs) chunk of steel to a top speed of 163 kph (101 mph).

　　The bike came with features such as laced wheels, knobby tires, a 41 mm telescopic front fork, an adjustable mono-shock suspension on the rear, front and rear disc brakes, a dual seat, a small luggage rack, a single headlamp on the front, and an analog instrument cluster.
