In 2008 I came across this article which I also found very confusing: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/...e-brother.html

Seems the Germans too like to market their motorcycles at lesser displacement (albeit for other reasons) but nonetheless I find it ridiculous:
BMW's F650GS is neither a 650, nor is it much of a GS, which is a confusing introduction to the machine. But if the marketing people were guilty of some convoluted thinking, BMW's engineers appear to have known exactly what they were doing, as it's a cracking good motorcycle.


In fact, the F650GS is such a capable bike it may just have spread more confusion by upstaging the F800GS it's derived from, offering not a lot less for a lot less money. The two bikes are closely related, starting with the F650's 800cc engine (see what I mean?), which is basically the same as the F800's twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled unit, but retuned to produce 71bhp against the 800GS's 84bhp, with an easier delivery and more torque at lower rpm.


The bike is called the F650GS partly to help distinguish it from the higher-spec 800 (although you would have thought there are less confusing ways to do that), and partly because it's meant to be the direct successor to the old F650GS. That was a single-cylinder machine of 652cc capacity which stood at the foot of BMW's range as the company's entry-level machine, and very popular it was too.


The new 800cc F650GS deserves to maintain and build on that popularity as it retains the old bike's relaxed and easy riding qualities while adding more performance (with no extra intimidation for novices). In particular, it has a much less fussy ride at low revs around town. Single-cylinder bikes don't like being lugged around in the bottom regions of their rev bands as the lumpy power pulses resonate through the transmission, causing the bike to jerk and shudder.

Really, I find this so un-German.
Anyway, have fun with your Qingqi QM200!
