Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 850 GS 2023

BMW F 850 GS 2023

The BMW F 850 GS also scores points in 2022 with its pleasant ergonomics and accessible character. Operation is easy and you quickly feel comfortable on the motorbike. The longer the tour, the more you miss the finesse in the details. The damping of the fork is too lax and not adjustable. The engine gets a bit boring in the long run, and the gearstick and quickshifter are always stiff. In direct comparison with other touring enduros, it is always somewhat overshadowed by more exciting models.

well thought-out operating concept

practical equipment

very accessible operation and driveability in everyday use

Vibrations in the upper rev range

boring engine

stiff quickshifter gearstick

front damping too lax

BMW F 800 R 2016

BMW F 800 R 2016

With a EURO4 engine, new riding modes, new instruments and new colours, the F 800 R starts the new season. It is recognisable at first glance only by the end cap on the stately stainless steel exhaust. It is one of those full-grown motorbikes that, despite its considerable sporting potential, was designed for the widest possible user group. Therefore, it is absolutely beginner-friendly (throttled), but can also inspire an experienced audience. Its character remains somewhat pragmatic, but the unmistakable, hollow sound of the inline two compensates for this.

strong brakes

upgraded equipment

low weight

accessible geometry

characteristic sound

somewhat pragmatic

effervescence is a little lacking
