BMW F 650 Funduro (1994)

The BMW F 650 Funduro marks a significant departure for the legendary German marque, entering a new arena with an entry-level machine that’s as accessible as it is impressive. Powered by a potent four-stroke, single-cylinder engine with DOHC and 4 valves per cylinder, the Funduro’s character is defined by its smooth, rev-happy nature and impressive mid-range punch.

On the road, the F 650’s chassis reveals itself to be a masterclass in balance and poise, thanks to its steel frame and deltabox swing-arm. The suspension, with its generous 170mm of axle movement at the front and 165mm at the rear, provides a level of comfort and control that’s unmatched in its class.

While some may be tempted to take the Funduro off the beaten path, its true strengths lie on the asphalt, where its broad, dual-seat and built-in carrier make it an ideal companion for a day’s touring or commuting. With its affordable price point and impressive spec sheet, the BMW F 650 Funduro is an offer that’s impossible to refuse.
