The BMW F 650GS Dakar is a testament to the brand’s rich history in the grueling Paris-Dakar rally, where it has consistently pushed the limits of machine and rider.
The Dakar model boasts a fuel-injected F650GS engine, tweaked for off-road prowess with slightly lower gearing, providing the torquey low-down drive essential for navigating the toughest terrain.
With a tall windscreen and hand protection, the F 650 GS Dakar is designed to conquer the harshest environments, from desert dunes to mountain trails, and can be further customized with a range of optional features and accessories.
The Dakar model’s engine management system and 2 SPARK ignition system deliver improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, making this extreme adventure bike a practical as well as thrilling companion for long-distance explorers.
