BMW F 800GS Adventure (2015)

BMW F 800GS Adventure (2015)

The ultimate adventure motorcycle: a machine that can conquer the world’s most unforgiving terrain with ease and poise. But what happens when the hefty price tags of high-end machines like the BMW R 1200 GS and KTM 1190 Adventure become a reality-check for the average rider? Enter the BMW F 800 GS Adventure, a motorcycle that bridges the gap between affordability and off-road prowess.

The F 800 GS Adventure boasts a revised underseat fuel tank, now holding a generous 6.3 gallons, allowing riders to tackle even the longest journeys without worrying about fuel stops. The addition of a larger windscreen, standard hand guards, and a more comfortable seat elevate the touring capabilities of this motorcycle.

But don’t let its touring-friendly features fool you – the F 800 GS Adventure is still a machine built for the rough stuff, with tubular engine guards, a nylon sump protector, and beefier subframe and aluminum saddlebag mounts as standard equipment. With its newfound capabilities, the F 800 GS Adventure is ready to take on any adventure that comes its way.
