Bmw R 850 Gs

The Bmw R 850 Gs has a top speed of 175 km/h, produces 70 hp and weighs 215 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.

BMW R 850 GS, 1993 yılında R 1100 GS'nin daha erişilebilir, daha düşük hacimli bir kardeş olarak tanıtıldı ve GS serisinin macera turu kabiliyetini daha düşük maliyetle ve daha hafif, daha yönetilebilir bir paketle isteyen sürücüleri hedef aldı. BMW'nin ikonik hava/yağ soğutmalı boxer ikiz motoru ve GS serisinin ayırt edici özellikleri haline gelen Telelever ön süspansiyon sistemine sahipti. Üretim 2001 yılına kadar devam etti ve sonunda R 1150 GS macera segmentinde baskın model olarak devralmasıyla aşamalı olarak kaldırıldı.

Boxer Engine Durability

The R 850 GS uses BMW's proven air/oil-cooled boxer twin, which routinely surpasses 100,000 miles with proper maintenance. It's considered one of the more bulletproof engines in the adventure segment from that era.

🔍

Watch the Final Drive

The shaft final drive can develop leaks or wear on higher-mileage examples, and replacement is costly. Always inspect the drive shaft housing for oil seepage before purchasing a used model.

💰

Strong Resale Value

Despite being an older model (1994–1999), the R 850 GS holds its value well due to BMW's loyal community and wide parts availability. Well-maintained examples remain attractive to budget-conscious adventure riders.

7.2/10

"Dürüst, asla daha fazlası gibi davranmayan yetenekli GS."

848cc boxer, otoyol hızlarında yeterince pürüzsüzdür, ancak hızlı A yollarında sollamanın sınırlarını hissedeceksiniz - 70 at gerçekten yeterli, heyecan verici değil. Telelever ön ucu buradaki gerçek yıldızdır: fren dalışını öldürür ve geleneksel çatalların hala uyuşamayacağı şekilde kırık asfaltta güven uyandırır. 229 kg ıslak olduğu için hafif bir sürgülü araç değildir ve çakıl yangın yollarının ötesindeki gerçek arazide bu kitle, kendinizle yapmanız gereken gerçek bir konuşma haline gelir. Bir seferde 8.000 km'den sonra geri dönmeye devam ettiğim şey, ne kadar telaşsız ve güvenilir hissettiğiydi - drama yok, sadece kapalı zemin.

Artıları

+Telelever ön ucu gerçekten güveni değiştiriyor
+Boxer torku düşük devirden pürüzsüz
+Kurşun geçirmez uzun mesafe güvenilirliği
+Dik ergonomi uzun kilometreleri yiyor

Eksileri

"Trustworthy adventure workhorse if you check the splines first."

$3,500-$6,500 used

The R850GS is the poor man's R1100GS, and honestly? That's not an insult. This air-cooled boxer twin punches well above its displacement — 70bhp feels livelier than the numbers suggest, and that low-slung torque makes real-world riding genuinely satisfying. It's not fast, but it's engaging in a way modern bikes often aren't. The oilhead engine is bulletproof if serviced properly, so always pull the service history before handing over cash. The weak spots are predictable on a bike this age. Check the final drive splines — neglected ones can strip catastrophically and the repair bill will ruin your week. Boxer heads need valve clearance checks every 6,000 miles, and previous owners often skip them. Forks can leak, and the ABS system on earlier models throws fits. Budget £300-400 for a proper inspection before committing. Get past those checks and you've got a genuinely capable adventure bike that handles real off-road work, eats motorway miles without complaint, and turns heads at every fuel stop. Parts availability is solid, and the community knowledge base is enormous.
