BMW F850GS

The BMW F850GS is a dual-sport motorcycle produced by BMW Motorrad from 2018 through 2024. It succeeded the F800GS as part of a new generation of middleweight GS models powered by an all-new 853 cc parallel-twin engine and was designed to combine long-distance touring comfort with enhanced off-road performance. Unveiled at EICMA 2017 in Milan, it introduced a completely redesigned powertrain and chassis; the engine, built by Loncin in China under BMW supervision, uses a 270 degree crankshaft for a distinctive exhaust note and improved traction. A steel bridge-type frame replaces the tubular trellis frame and uses the engine as a stressed member, the 15 L tank sits in a conventional forward position, and the engine produces 70 kW (94 hp) at 8,250 rpm and 92 Nm at 6,250 rpm through a six-speed gearbox and chain drive. It has a 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel and 230 mm front and 215 mm rear suspension travel.
