A Spanish retrospective feature looks back at the BMW G650GS Sertao. It was never the biggest or the most expensive GS in the lineup, but it could take you to the same places, lighter and nimbler — a bike beloved as Munich's last single-cylinder trail machine.
Why does a bike that was neither the biggest nor the most expensive stay in memory? The G650GS Sertão embodied 'adventure at your own scale' through the clean-cut configuration of a single cylinder. Big doesn't cover small. Sometimes lightness itself is what becomes freedom. In the title of Munich's last single-cylinder trail bike, I see both the end of an era and its pride.

Even though it's been out of production for a long time, still being popular in the used market proves it's the real thing.
As another single-cylinder trail bike, it probably got compared to something like the Serow a lot too.
Not being the biggest or the priciest, yet still being loved this much, is proof of how well-balanced it is.
It says this was Munich's last single-cylinder — has BMW really not made a single since then?
After that, I believe they shifted toward parallel twins like the F750/850 GS.
The G650GS Sertão had that single-cylinder nimbleness the big-displacement GS models just don't have.
Being light directly translates to easier handling on forest roads and unpaved trails — honestly, that's enviable.
