Buyer’s Guide Model Detail

Buyer's Guide > F850 GS
Colours shown may not be available in Canada.
The F850 is the latest evolution of BMW's parallel twin platform. The updated engine has dual counterbalancers, which should smooth out some of the vibrations that plagued the previous iteration at higher revs. There's a 6.5-inch TFT screen with the instrument cluster and other connectivity options. Traction control with two modes is standard (more modes available as options). Suspension is all-new, and so is the frame. An up/down quickshifter is optional, as is electronic suspension adjustment and keyless ignition.
