All three BMW GS models feature a fresh aesthetic thanks to new colour schemes while offering more standard equipment and new optional equipment.
General changes to the BMW F 750 GS, BMW F 850 GS and BMW F 850 GS Adventure include new tape designs and the respective style designation on the fairing side panels of the style variations.
All models now have new LED flashing turn indicators as standard and a USB charging device at the front right of the cockpit. ABS Pro and DTC (Dynamic Traction Control) are now also standard to enhance braking and acceleration characteristics.
The liquid-cooled 4-valve, 2-cylinder engine with 853cc capacity, fuel injection and six-speed gearbox in all three models ensures high levels of efficiency and power.
This unit is already designed to meet future Euro 5 emission standards and thanks to two counterbalance shafts also delights with its smoothness, spontaneous response characteristics, impressive pulling power and low fuel consumption.
In the BMW F 750 GS the powerplant generates 57kW at 7,500rpm and develops its maximum torque of 83Nm at 6,000rpm. The BMW F 850 GS and the BMW F 850 GS Adventure engines generate 70kW at 8,250 rpm and 92Nm at 6,250rpm.
BMW Motorrad Australia General Manager Andreas Lundgren said the new models would deliver on all fronts for Australian customers.
“These thoroughly updated GS editions take a winning formula and provide further polish, adding new looks and a raft of new option packages to complement their celebrated handling prowess on all road conditions including gravel,” Mr Lundgren said.
“They also make a statement by evoking BMW’s legendary models of the past in a significant year for the GS model line.”
