Introduced in 1994, these air/oil-cooled, boxer-twin engine machines were a significant step forward in BMW's motorcycle development. The R850 series offered a blend of power, handling, and comfort, catering to a wide range of riders and riding styles. The R850R, a naked sport bike, was praised for its lively engine and agile handling, while the RT, a fully-faired touring machine, provided a comfortable and capable platform for long-distance riding. The RS, a sport-touring motorcycle, offered a balance between performance and comfort, while the GS, a dual-sport adventure bike, was renowned for its off-road prowess. The S, a stripped-down, lightweight roadster, provided pure riding enjoyment, while the LT, a luxury touring machine, offered unparalleled comfort and convenience for extended journeys. Common to all R850 models was the robust 850cc, air/oil-cooled, boxer-twin engine, delivering ample power and torque. The engine's horizontally opposed cylinder design contributed to a low center of gravity, resulting in stable and predictable handling. The R850 series also featured a robust chassis, characterized by a tubular steel frame and a single-sided swingarm, offering a balance of rigidity and flexibility. The motorcycles were equipped with advanced suspension systems, incorporating Telelever front suspension and Paralever rear suspension, providing a smooth and controlled ride. The R850 series was also known for its user-friendly ergonomics, offering a comfortable riding position for both rider and passenger. The addition of features like adjustable windshields, heated grips, and optional ABS further enhanced rider comfort and safety. This combination of power, handling, comfort, and practicality made the R850 series a popular choice for riders seeking a versatile and reliable motorcycle.
