However, in 2008, BMW replaced the 652cc single-cylinder powerplant with a 798cc parallel twin engine (but still calling it a 650-strange but true), and kept the F 650 GS name. To add to the confusion, BMW brought back the 650 single in 2009, renaming it the G 650 GS-the bike in this test, if you haven't been able to follow the convoluted story.
Meanwhile, the Tiger 800 also has some buzzy vibes, but offers better suspension, brakes, drivability, power, comfort, sound, headlights, etc. It's more expensive than the BMW, but you also get vastly more motorcycle. If you want to spend $8k on a lightweight ADV bike with modest dirt ability, spend it on the Suzuki.
A lot of serious riders think the same, which is why the Kawasaki KLR650 is our top-selling adventure bike and the top 10 also includes the bullet-proof Suzuki DL650A, Yamaha XT660Z and, in 10th place, the BMW G 650 GS Sertao. Sertao is Portuguese for outback and GS is German for “gelande strasse” (off-road and road).
