2012 BMW G650GS Sertao Specs and Review

2012 BMW G650GS Sertao
2012 BMW G650GS Sertao - BMW had many new motorcycles to present at the 2010 EICMA show, including the Concept C scooter, the six-cylinder K 1600 GT and GTL and the new BMW G650GS Sertao.
With its new 2012 BMW G650GS Sertao, BMW Motorrad has added a new, sporting chapter to the history of single cylinders in the BMW GS family. Whereas the G 650 GS thrilled riders with its lean, wiry offroad stature, the 2012 BMW G650GS Sertao promises even more sporting characteristics, even greater offroad capabilities, and an even stronger desire for adventure.
Compared to the G650GS, the 2012 BMW G650GS Sertao has extensively modified rolling gear, while the engine and frame structure are 100-percent identical to the base model. The engine is a very solid and reliable liquid-cooled, dohc, four-valve Single with 100.0 x 83.0mm bore-and-stroke dimensions and features twin-spark ignition, EFI with a 43mm throttle body and an 11.5:1 compression ratio. The resultant output is 48.0 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 44.2 foot-pounds of peak torque at 5000 rpm.

Presenting a seat height of 860 mm instead of 800 mm, a considerably larger ground clearance, and a sturdy engine guard of aluminium, the 2012 BMW G650GS Sertao presents the optimal conditions for offroad riding. In addition, the high windscreen, hand protectors, and the extended front wheel cover provide a greater level of comfort on longer tours.
Braking is handled by a 300mm stainless-steel floating rotor and Brembo two-piston caliper up front and a 240mm disc pinched by a single-piston caliper out back.
The high contrast colour scheme in Aura white / Arroyo blue combined with the seat in black/grey and the vivid Sertão lettering lend the 2012 BMW G650GS Sertao its particular sturdy enduro character.
Even with the standard equipment, the 2012 BMW G650GS Sertao is virtually the perfect embodiment of a dynamic offroad enduro. Moreover, BMW Motorrad can provide an unusually extensive range of special equipment and accessories for even greater individualisation of the new BMW G 650 GS Sertão.
Special equipment is delivered directly ex works and is integrated in the production process. Special accessories are installed at BMW Motorrad dealerships. The motorcycle can therefore be fitted with options after it has left the factory.
