My 2001 f650gs overheated due to a radiator leak,
and now there’s coolant in the oil. Any thoughts or ideas
on how to fix this? Head gasket? Cracked head?

Most of the time a pump-up test of the radiator is in order. Barring having the real kit, pump sorta looks like a sports ball pump, I have drilled a hole in a (spare) radiator cap any used low pressure to check and listen (gurgling) for the air leakage and where it’s coming from.
All that said, chances are it’s a head gasket especially if the bike had been run hot at one time. Most repairs are going to require some disassembly. Some changes in coolant (anti-freeze) actually helped degrade the head gasket over time.
Let us know how you make out.
Good luck.

I would also suspect your water pump seal.
Here is the best resource for F650 Tech.
Thank you to MOA Ambassador, Steve Johnson, may he RIP.

Go soothingly through the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon.
