The BMW R850 R and R850GS, released in 1996 and 2000 respectively, represent a significant shift in the German manufacturer's motorcycle lineup. These models marked the introduction of a new, larger displacement boxer engine, the R850, which offered a significant power boost compared to its predecessors. The R850 R, aimed at a more sport-oriented rider, featured a sleek, naked design with a telescopic front fork and a single-sided swingarm. This model provided a thrilling riding experience, blending agility and performance. On the other hand, the R850GS was designed for adventure riding, boasting a more robust and off-road capable chassis with a long-travel suspension and a larger fuel tank. The GS model introduced the iconic "beak" fairing for improved wind protection and incorporated a luggage rack system for extended journeys. Both the R850 R and R850GS models were built with reliability and longevity in mind. The air-cooled boxer engine, renowned for its robust construction, offered ample horsepower and torque, while the sturdy frame and suspension provided exceptional stability and handling. These motorcycles became popular choices for riders seeking a balance of performance, comfort, and practicality. The R850GS, in particular, gained a loyal following among long-distance adventurers and off-road enthusiasts, solidifying its place as a pioneer in the adventure touring segment. The R850 series marked a turning point for BMW Motorrad, establishing a new generation of powerful and versatile motorcycles that would pave the way for the brand's continued success in the years to come.
