The BMW R850R and R850GS are iconic motorcycles that were produced between 1996 and 2002. These models, belonging to the R850 series, marked a significant departure from BMW's traditional air-cooled boxer engine design, introducing a liquid-cooled, 850 cc boxer engine. This engine, known for its potent power delivery and smooth operation, offered a substantial upgrade in performance and fuel efficiency over previous air-cooled counterparts. The R850R was positioned as a sporty roadster, emphasizing performance and handling, while the R850GS was tailored towards adventure touring, boasting a rugged design and enhanced off-road capabilities. Both models became popular choices for riders seeking versatile and reliable motorcycles capable of tackling diverse riding conditions. The R850R and R850GS were celebrated for their dynamic handling and comfortable riding experience. The R850R showcased a sportier character, with its responsive engine and agile chassis making it a joy to ride on winding roads. The R850GS, on the other hand, offered a more relaxed and comfortable riding experience, with its tall windscreen and upright riding position suited for long-distance touring. Both models were equipped with advanced features for their time, including a fuel-injected engine, a telescopic front fork, and a Paralever rear suspension system known for its smooth operation and stability. The R850 series established a legacy of innovation and versatility within BMW's motorcycle lineup, paving the way for future adventure and sport touring models. The BMW R850R and R850GS continue to be sought-after motorcycles among enthusiasts, appreciated for their robust construction, reliable performance, and timeless design.
