It's claimed to be 16 litres but actually holds 17.5 litres from empty. The F650GS twin and F800GS are versions of the same 800cc bike. The F650GS is tuned for better midrange and with its higher gearing is more relaxed for touring.

The economy from the 800cc parallel twin is outstanding, better mpg than the 660cc Tenere. Ultimately the Tenere's larger tank gives it a better range, but there's not as much in it as the relative tank sizes would lead you to think.
