You would be correct. Loncin has been OEMing the bimmer 650 thumper for some years now. Somehow I think Austrian engine maker/designer AVL is involved, or was in the earlier years before Loncin took on full responsibility. This is not the engine that goes into the F650GS, which is a twin that's probably still made in Germany. That engine, as we've discussed before, is actually not a 650cc at all, but is the same displacement as the F800GS -- the same engine block. It's the G650GS that uses the Loncin-made engine.
