In 1993, BMW introduced its first new single since 1966: the F650 Funduro built in collaboration with Rotax and Aprilia. The Funduro’s success warranted a secondgen F650 in 2001, with a new Rotax engine and a new chassis designed by BMW. In 2002, the F 650 ST and GS were joined by the CS, for “city-street.” With striking design, excellent handling, and clever features, the bike attracted new and experienced riders alike, including lifelong motorcyclist Brian Scott, who appreciated the CS’s “light weight and easy-to-handle characteristics.”
