The F650GS & Dakar models are staying in the range & will be sold alongside the new G650-series.
The G-series will be marketed in the UK between £5,000 & £6,000according to press reports. My guess is that the XCountry will be the cheapest, followed by the XChallenge, with the XMoto supermoto variant the most expensive.
I think the F650's will appeal to those who want the larger 16 litre tank and for whom the bike is a commuter/only form of transport whilst the G-series may appeal to those who want one as a second bike.
I believe that BMW GB may be replacing at least some of its Off Road School F650's with the XChallenge next year, in which I may have to give it a go.
