The G650 is a bike I'm quite interested in too but not the GS ,rather the Cross Country which is a really stripped down version. It's about 325 pound and doesn't have the silly beak. The seating position is quite good and I'd say it's quite a good basis for a reasonably economical ride .Not exceptional but I'd say 95 mpg US is possible at 55 mph with a complete Zero Vetter type fairing....the actual swept volume of the engine being the real limitation..
The attraction of a bike like this is of course the 50 hp! Anyone who has been riding for a while will find it very difficult to go to a low hp bike. I know. I'm tossing the possibilities around every day while I try to sell my old BMW boxer.
