The Dakar is now the Sertao, a name that is derived from Brazil, funnily enough in view of where you are located Maria:-
2012 BMW G 650 GS Sertão
I have ridden a G650GS as a courtesy bike, so I came straight from a 2005 F650GS to ride the G model.
For those few hours of "ownership" it felt much the same as the F, unsurprisingly, but the grip of the knees is different because the "tank" (which is still an airbox/battery compartment) is a different shape.
Other wise, the instrument panel is neater, more modern in appearance and much like the other BMW bikes in production now.
I can't think of anything else to say about the G650GS because it is so similar to the F. Of course BMW brought this single cyl back into production to meet the public demand (BMW view in the press).
In the UK it is priced very competitively for its' market segment.
