Carefree Riding Fun BMW Motorrad F 700 GS and F 800 GS

Last Update: 29 November 2021

The popular BMW Motorrad motorcycle models F 700 GS and F 800 GS have displayed versatile capabilities for years. Carefree riding fun due to secure controllability on all surfaces, vigorous drive power and excellent suitability for both day-to-day riding and travel – even when the route consists of nothing but gravel tracks. It is a concept in two variants that has been received with great enthusiasm by many motorcycle fans over the years and has now been visually refined by BMW Motorrad for model year 2016.
