Here’s the first test ride review of the new BMW F850GS - the 2018 model. We just got back from the international media launch in Spain where we manage to test both the Rallye and the Exclusive version - first one with dual sport tires and the second one with street tires. The BMW F850GS has a tough job because he has to fight Honda’s Africa Twin, the updated Triumph Tiger 800 XCX and the KTM 1050. But now let’s get back to our hero - the 2018 BMW F850 GS - a completely new bike, from engine to chassis and colors. Here’s our first review.
