Overview

BMW has revealed the F 850 GS abroad. Redesigned adventure motorcycles feature an improved headlamp and fresh colors. Their new 40 Years Limited Edition livery is also included. Motorcycles don't get powertrain or suspension changes, only cosmetic and feature updates.

As its name implies, the BMW F850 GS Adventure is based on the F850 GS. Additionally, the Adventure suffix is not used for branding. It gains more capabilities that enable off-road use. The F850 GS Adventure has revised bodywork but looks comparable. The bike also has wind deflectors, a higher windscreen, upgraded radiator shrouds, an expanded luggage rack, and an engine guard. In addition, it has a broader front, "beak."

Regarding the powertrain, there is no distinction.
