The BMW Motorrad F 850 GS is an adventure tourer motorcycle from BMW Motorrad. It was launched in 2018 and has since been discontinued (production ended around 2025). Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. Adventure bikes are built to travel long distances on good and bad roads alike, typically with long-travel suspension and an upright riding position. With a 853 cc engine it sits in the big-bike, 800 cc-plus class.
Power comes from a 853 cc twin-cylinder liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 95.17 PS at 8,250 rpm and 92 Nm of torque at 6,250 rpm. Its bore is wider than its stroke (84.0 x 77.0 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 408 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is genuinely fast, well beyond everyday traffic speeds. The claimed top speed is 200 km/h. It has electric start.
It has a 6-speed manual gearbox, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.
Its frame is Bridge-Type frame, steel shell construction. At the front, the suspension is Upside-Down telescopic fork, Ø 43 mm. At the rear, it is cast aluminium dual swing arm, central WAD spring strut, spring Pre-Load hydraulically adjustable, ReboundDamping adjustable. Braking is by a 305 mm disc at the front and a 265 mm disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking. It rides on 21-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels with tubeless tyres — 90/90-21 at the front and 150/70-17 at the rear.
The seat is 860 mm off the ground, which is on the tall side, so shorter riders may want to try it first. It weighs 233 kg ready to ride, which is heavy, so parking and tight U-turns need care. It is 2,305 mm long, with 1,593 mm between the axles. Its 15 L fuel tank and claimed mileage of 24.4 kmpl work out to roughly 366 km per tankful on paper; real-world range is usually lower.
Equipment includes a digital instrument console, an LED headlamp, turn-by-turn navigation, USB charging port and cruise control. Safety equipment includes low fuel indicator.
For the BMW Motorrad F 850 GS, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹11,999 doorstep service.
It is best suited to long-distance touring and roads of mixed quality. Its tall seat suits taller riders best. With this much performance, it is better as a step-up bike than a first bike.
Its chain drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and slack adjustment.
