BMW F 650

In 1993, the BMW F 650 "Funduro" entered the market as the new entry-level model in the BMW world of experience. The machine was powered by a 650 cc single-cylinder engine and was developed in cooperation with motorcycle manufacturer Aprilia (Italy) and engine supplier Rotax (Austria). With these credentials it can lay claim to being a genuine "Euro-Bike". The F 650 was the first BMW to be designed without the customary drive shaft, with power being transferred to the rear wheel by a roller chain. The "Funduro" featured premium BMW quality and the manoeuvrable and agile motorcycle rapidly won over the hearts and minds of fans to develop into a sales hit in the model range of BMW Motorrad.
