The smallest BMW boxer twin available in the U.S
in 1984. features all the top-flight components expected from BMW: quartz
headlight, pressure die-cast aluminum spoke wheels, 260mm drilled disc brakes up
front, 5.8-gallon fuel tank and shaft drive. Tall gearing allows this standard
650 to gobble up highway miles like a 750, and supple, long-travel suspension
can make short work of rough, twisting roads. As with all BMWs, only made-in-'83
models was sold in California because of emissions regulations.
