BMW F 800 GS Adventure: $18,550
The harder-edged iteration of the standard F 800 GS -- available with traction control and electronic suspension adjustment -- is now available in AustraliaThe BMW F 800 GS Adventure is now on sale locally for $18,550. Powered by the same liquid-cooled and fuel-injected 798cc parallel-twin as the standard F 800 GS, with unchanged outputs of 85hp (63kW) at 7500rpm and 83Nm at 5750rpm, the F 800 GS Adventure also shares the same tubular-steel spaceframe, but it features a number of important updates to enhance its off-road and touring abilities.
To that end, headlining the changes is a 24-litre long-range tank, which BMW says extends the new model’s range by roughly 120km. A taller screen provides additional comfort over long distances, while handguards and enduro-style footpegs offer additional protection and control.
The model has also been enhanced by a reinforced (and adjustable) brake pedal, a strengthened rear subframe, an engine protection bar and a new, more comfortable bench seat. Finally, the bike features “robust and masculine” new bodywork.
While the bike is equipped with anti-lock braking as standard, traction control and electronic suspension adjustment are available as factory-fitted extras or special accessories. An Enduro mode is also available as an option, increasing the slip threshold of both the ABS and ASC systems when off-road for "a more dynamic" riding experience.
