ADVENTURE IN THE BLOOD. Live the challenge. Ride on where others turn back. Turn challenges into opportunities.
The BMW F 850 GS is perfectly streamlined for off-roading, as can be seen from its 21-inch front wheel. What matters is your curiosity and what drives you – regardless of how far or where you want to ride. The expanded standard equipment and a variety of special equipment and special accessories means that you can easily discover what lies beyond the horizon with the F 850 GS.
Highlights for every terrain.
The F 850 GS is ready for everything that may come its way. In particular on alternating terrain, it offers you safety and comfort with a variety of features – and plenty of riding enjoyment.
Let yourself be swept away.
Curiosity and a thirst for adventure are just the start. The 2-cylinder in-line engine with 70 kW (95 hp) supports you in every endeavour, especially due to its high torque. It operates economically, with consumption of 4.2 l per 100 km (according to WMTC) and delivers impressive performance on all roads or terrain.
