BMW’s Return to Single‑Cylinder Engines

The 1993‑2000 F 650 was the first single‑cylinder motorcycle BMW produced since the 1960–1966 R27, marking a notable comeback for the engine layout.

First Chain‑Driven BMW Motorcycles

Along with reintroducing a single‑cylinder engine, the early F 650 models were also BMW’s first motorcycles to use a chain drive, a departure from the brand’s traditional shaft‑driven designs.

Evolution from Funduro to Modern GS

After the success of the early Funduro‑style F 650 and F 650 ST models, BMW presented a reworked single‑cylinder version in the 2000‑2007 period, and then launched the 2008‑2013 F 650 GS as a new‑rider‑targeted middleweight adventure bike.
