BMW F850 GS

BMW's R1200 GS is the bike adventurer tourers want - it has a reputation for being unbreakable yet manageable. However, with large displacement comes a large price tag, and that's what the F750 and F850 hope to correct. They aim to bring BMW's adventure-touring segment to a wider audience thanks to their lower price point. The F850 is the more off-road focused of the two, with 93bhp from its 853cc parallel twin engine. You get spoke rims, knuckle guards, fork protectors and a windscreen taller than the F750's. The tyres, as expected are on/off road spec. Among the features are LED headlamps and a 6.5-inch TFT colour display for the instruments. As befits a BMW, there is a full electronics package available including ABS, traction control, cruise control, quickshifter, and five riding modes, including an 'Enduro Pro' mode that tunes the electronics for the best response on dirt.
