Jap 650cc dualsport killer from ze Germans?

Word has it that Auto Bavaria Malaysia (Motorrad Division) is bringing in the 2011 BMW G650 GS, which is a re-hash of the marque's highly popular single-cylinder, Rotax-engined F650 GS.

The key point here is that Auto Bavaria is trying to price it at RM50,000 or below. If they are successful, it is very likely to cannibalize sales of the 650cc Japanese dualsport machines in Malaysia, such as Kawasaki's KLR650 and Suzuki's DR650E.
