The BMW R850 R and R850GS, produced from 1997 to 2001, represent a significant shift in BMW's motorcycle lineup, marking the introduction of a new generation of air/oil-cooled, boxer-twin engines. While maintaining the iconic boxer configuration, the R850 series brought advancements that significantly enhanced performance and handling, solidifying BMW's reputation for engineering excellence. The R850 R, a naked sportbike, and the R850GS, an adventure touring machine, were designed to appeal to diverse riders with their distinct strengths. The R850 R boasted a lightweight chassis and responsive handling, ideal for spirited road riding, while the R850GS, with its long-travel suspension and rugged design, was built for tackling both tarmac and challenging off-road terrain. Both models were powered by a 850cc, air/oil-cooled boxer twin engine, producing 75 horsepower and 61 lb-ft of torque, offering a smooth and powerful ride across a wide range of RPMs. The introduction of the R850 series coincided with a period of significant growth in the adventure touring segment, and the R850GS became a pioneering model in this category. Its robust design, coupled with comfortable ergonomics and a large fuel tank, made it capable of enduring long-distance journeys with ease. The R850GS's off-road capabilities were further enhanced by the addition of features like a telescopic fork with 203mm of travel and a Paralever single-sided swingarm, offering exceptional ground clearance and shock absorption. Both the R850 R and R850GS quickly gained popularity among riders seeking reliable, capable, and stylish motorcycles. They became known for their durable construction, impressive performance, and user-friendly features, cementing their place as iconic models in BMW's rich history. These motorcycles are still cherished by enthusiasts today, offering a blend of classic character and modern capabilities.
