The House of Munich has designed the R 850 GS for riders who want a gritty yet agile machine, capable of tackling both and unpaved roads. It has, at its heart, a four-stroke, air/oil-cooled, 848cc, boxer two cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, that reaches a maximum power output of 73 horsepower and 77 Nm of torque.
It also comes with features such as a BMW Motorrad Telelever front suspension and a Paralever rear unit, dual front disc brakes and a single disc in the rear, cross-spoked wheels, a dual seat, a pillion grab handle, a small luggage rack, a small windscreen, a chromed exhaust muffler and an analogue and digital instrument panel.
