Brendan was lucky enough to tag along to the recent BMW launch and ride for their awesome new G650 GS Sertao, a great machine that is well worth the ride! Al
Power wise the NC700 and the G650gs has about the same top end (around 110-115mph) but the NC700 can get to top speed a little quicker. The G650gs has a little more lower end torque in first gear but the NC700 first gear can actually get you thru an intersection before the need to shift.
Which is an Single cylinder, four-stroke. The power of the BMW G 650 GS engine is 48.0 horse power (35.0 kW)) at 6500 rotations per minute. The torque of the engine is 60.0 Nm (6.1 kgf-m or 44.3 ft.lbs) @ 5000 RPM. Top speed of the BMW G 650 GS is 170.0 km/h (105.6 mph). The Compression ratio of the BMW G 650 GS is 11.5:1.
Power transmission is still maintained by the proven five-speed gearbox and an O-ring chain drive. The new G 650 GS’s brake system, however, is upgraded with standard ABS featuring the new generation BMW Motorrad Bosch 8 M ABS control unit weighing only 1.5 kilograms. ABS can also be deactivated, as on the GS boxer twins.
As an introduction to adventure bikes, the G650GS is an ideal choice because it carries the same styling cues as its bigger brothers, but comes with the benefit of a lower insurance rating from the smaller, single-cylinder 652cc engine. The 650GS isn’t built for all-day cruising, but 70-80mph isn’t a problem and will return a healthy fuel
