BMW To Release A G450X???

There are pictures of real live G650 models in offroad (21/18 wheels), cross country; (19/17) wheels, and super moto versions; (17/17 wheels), all with slightly different suspension tweaks and other small variances.

The rumor that really catches my attention has been floating around the internet is that the Der Korp might actually have a 450 version with an Aprilia V twin wedged in the frame. Can you say 55bhp and less than 300lbs?

That combination of engine would make a great deal more sense that putting a 2.5 gallon tank on a trio of 650's would it not? Even if you rode those 650's like a girl you would still only get 170 miles max!

If the rumor about the 450 comes to fruition it's gonna be a darn fine hooligan commuter and all round grin broadener

Can you say
"Ve Kan Now Dominate Der Dakar Rally Vonce Moa"


Claims also state that those three different G650 models will not be replacing the antiquated but much revered F650GS/Dakar. I am not buying it, but at the same time it would seem foolish to drop your best selling model. Will they keep the F650 until the F800GS appears?

Looking forward to seeing all the good stuff at Intermot

Man I don't think I am going to sleep at all tonight!

You may think I am way off mark here, but I am standing by this prediction for a Dakar contender. Time will tell.

I've read some stuff that seemed to indicate that the Aprilia engine demanded a lot of attention, and not the good kind.

Are you saying girls do not ride good on the statement "Even if you rode those 650's like a girl you would still only get 170 miles max!" lol

Now, if they stop making the F650 they better make a lowered F800!

HP1, F800GS, G450X, whatever. I'm interested. My R1200GS is a keeper but a nice RTW hooligan tool is definitely the order of the day.

I like!
