Read Everything You Need to Know Before You Buy a BMW F 850 GS Adventure

Mar. 27 2023 BMW By FFun Motorcycle

BMW Motorrad bikes boast a reputation of reliability, durability, and remarkably sturdy hardware. The BMW F850GS Adventure lives up to this legacy by posing as a great ally during long trips and harsh off-road terrains. With these virtues, you would expect a very heavy and rustic motorcycle, but not under BMW's watch. The F850 GS Adventure bike exudes the unbeatable premium character of the BMW range.

At first sight, you will be impressed by the surgical precision of its exterior which features a Kalamata Metallic Matte 2, golden fork tubes and anodized rims. In addition to a powerful petrol engine, it naturally navigates twisted roads and tougher bumpy, rough off-road terrains. It is equally majestic on city streets and an eye-catcher.


Best Features at a Glance

Sturdy Off-road Performance

The BMW F 850 GS Adventure bike is more off-road oriented than its counterpart, the F750GS and most market entrants including the Yamaha Tenere and Honda's Africa twin. Its 21-inch front and 17-inch rear, paired with the refined rider ergonomics, offer reliable weight distribution making it easier to ride off-road while seated. F850GS is smaller than most off-road BMW motorcycles because most parts are reduced, including the rear subframe, the narrower comfort seat( with 875mm seat height) and the smaller fuel tank capacity, which remains large enough for long distances.

Minimal Hardware Interference

The BMW F850GSA front view is reasonably minimalist. From the positioning of the hand bars(in terms of width) to the clutter-free cock-pit, it lacks most mechanical controls so that the driver does not feel cramped. The bodywork also features an asymmetrical LED headlight and a lighter bridge to accommodate different rider heights. Lastly, the dashboard and windscreen are conveniently lower when standing, and a digital display tops it all off, eliminating the need for so much hardware at the front.

Different Ride Modes

The F850GSA comes in five riding modes pro: Rain, Road, Dynamic, Enduro, and Enduro Pro. Significant differences in these modes are in the throttle response ranging from soft to optimum and improved exhaust note on the Dynamic and Enduro Pro modes. The Rain and Road modes feature a disengageable ABS and Automatic Stability Control to enhance the bike's controllability. On the other hand, the Dynamic, Enduro, and Enduro Pro modes offer higher friction coefficiency and ABS Pro -a significant upgrade of the BMW Motorrad ABS- to guarantee traction control and safety when braking especially off-road. It is worth noting that whichever mode you set, the BMW F850GS remains the same when you shut it off and turn it back on.

Impressive Technology

The BMW F850GSA has a full-colour, user-friendly TFT display. The display has the incredible ability to sync with the rider's smartphone via Bluetooth connectivity, thus giving access to their contacts and other media. The premium package also comes with a keyless option which allows the user to ignite the bike, open the fuel filler cap and even operate the steering lock. The Dynamic ESA does not miss on this one. The electronic suspension elevates its performance while guaranteeing safety by adjusting the wheel alignment depending on speed and other conditions.
