In 2013, BMW released the F700GS, the direct successor of the versatile F650GS. The model was a more light and agile machine in the GS family, capable of tackling even harsher off-road tracks.
A shorter gear transmission ratio in the 75 bhp engine enhanced the agility and kept the familiar top-class handling. The F700GS was an ideal all-around machine within the GS family, suitable for every kind of rider, no matter how experienced.
The 2013 BMW F700GS packed a 798cc four-stroke liquid-cooled engine that delivered a power of 75 hp at 7,300 rpm and 77 Nm (57 lb-ft) of torque at 5,300 rpm. The power produced by the engine was sent to the rear wheel through a six-speed manual transmission. With 186 kg (410 lbs) of weight, the bike hit an estimated top speed of 191 kph (119 mph).
For a comfortable ride, the model packed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front, a central spring strut with hydraulically pre-load spring on the rear, and a dual-sided swingarm.
It came standard with BMW Motorrad ABS that, for braking, used the two 300 mm discs with two-piston calipers on the front wheel and the 265 mm disc with the one-piston caliper on the rear, offering excellent stopping power.
