The BMW F 850 GS is a middleweight adventure-tourer designed for riders who seek a versatile motorcycle capable of both daily commuting and spirited weekend off-road excursions. Positioned between lightweight trail bikes and heavyweight long-distance tourers, it delivers a balanced blend of agility, comfort, and capability. Ideal for riders who appreciate refined engineering and modern electronics, the F 850 GS offers a manageable size without compromising on performance—making it a compelling choice for both seasoned adventurers and those stepping up from entry-level dual-sport models.
In Malaysia, the BMW F 850 GS belongs to the adventure-touring segment and is powered by an 853 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine producing around 95 hp and 92 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed gearbox. It features a steel bridge frame, 21" front and 17" rear spoked wheels, and long-travel suspension—204 mm front and 219 mm rear—suited for mixed terrain riding. Key safety and tech include ABS, stability control (ASC/DTC), riding modes (Road, Rain, with optional Dynamic/Enduro via Riding Modes Pro), and a digital instrument cluster. A special “40 Years GS Edition” was offered in Malaysia in 2021, featuring ABS Pro, Dynamic Traction Control, Dynamic ESA, Shift Assistant Pro, cruise control, keyless ride, tyre pressure monitoring, and distinctive black-and-yellow styling. The model is currently discontinued locally, with earlier base pricing around RM 69,900 and the special edition at RM 85,500.
