The technical differences between the 00-04, 05-07, and the G Series are minimal despite the change in engine manufacture. There are minor power variations and on the G650GS rim size differences. The fuel tank size on the G-Series has been reduced to 14 litres but the fuel economy has been improved to partially compensate.

 

A comparison of the fuel economy figures and range for the three variants is below.
