The two new bikes (F650 and F800) are direct replacements for the 2 old bikes (F650, and Dakar).
BMW wont make a 3rd (Adventure) version of the same bike. They didnt last time, and to do so would make the 1200GS Adventure obsolete.

Maybe, but they don't use that marketing ploy - they are both "unstoppable" and the new 650 is called the "enduro" bike at present.
BMW should not discard the Dakar name easily, IMO.
BMW are committed to produce 2 new models per year, unless the 5-6 that are coming in 2008 are the "big bang" that will put paid to that statement of just a few years ago.
Anyway, A Yam Super Tenere (say) with a bigger engine (TDM 900cc lump?) could change the situation.
