Our take on this /// Verdict

The BMW F850 GS is a compelling option in the middleweight adventure motorcycle category in India.

The bikes 853cc parallel-twin engine, producing 95bhp and 92Nm, offers strong low and mid-range performance, making it enjoyable on both smooth roads and off-road trails. However, the notchy gearbox and lack of front-end adjustability are minor drawbacks. Despite these, the F850 GS is highly manageable and engaging to ride, both on and off the road, thanks to its balanced chassis and electronically adjustable suspension. Overall, it is a fair option to consider, especially given its competitive pricing and the value added by the standard Pro package.
