The new BMW F 850 GS is something special.
BMW have certainly made the focus of this bike to be far more off road oriented than previous years.
It’s ability through some of the toughest adventure trails I’ve ridden were undoubtedly impressive… yet you could tour in style courtesy of top end feature like cruise control and heated grips all whilst listening to integrated music and navigation.
It is truly a versatile new model.
It will be available from January 2019
