BMW F850GS Adventure – The review from KNOX

This is our review of the BMW 850gs adventure

Undoubtedly the BMW GS range are the most popular motorcycles in Europe and have progressively changed the style and type of motorcycles people ride. From the Long Way round, the the GS Trophy events to training schools all over the world, the BMW GS adventure range is a marketing machine and it has been really great to get hold of the BMW 850GS in recent months!

Loaned from BMW Motorrad UK, we used the bike to shoot our 2020 collection with, and the results were great in our opinion https://www.planet-knox.com/category/new-for-2020/. The BMW gs 850 is a great looking adventure motorcycle!

The f850gs is a truly excellent on-road motorcycle with fantastic plushness on offer, the F850GSA is like riding a magic carpet, with fantastic suspension, electronics and comfort like no other bike I have ever ridden… a real mile muncher. 
Also featuring a great 95hp power plant and handling, it’s a joy to ride. While this review didn’t major on the BMW 850gs off-road (forgot to strap go pro on, sorry), it’s not a bad bike for off-road terrain too when put in the right scenario of lighter trails and have someone with you.

The Specs for the bike we had are as below:

F 850 GS Adventure Sport - £11,910
Rallye Pack - £300
Premium Pack - £800 (Dynamic ESA, cruise control, Aluminium Pannier fastenings)
Comfort Pack - £615 (keyless ride, heated grips, tyre pressure control, centre stand)
HP Sports Silencer - £525
