2018 BMW F 800 GS Buyer’s Guide | Specs & Price

2018 BMW F 800 GS

With 17” and 21” wire-spoke wheels, the 2018 BMW F 800 GS identifies itself as an off-road ready motorcycle. It has long travel suspension—over nine inches in the front and 8.5 inches in the rear—making the F 800 GS prepared for rough terrain.

The tall wheels and long legs do come at a price—the standard seat height is a towering 34.6 inches, though BMW will sell you a seat that drops the height down to 32.3 inches above the ground.

At 478 pounds, it’s not especially heavy for an ADV machine, so it can be ridden off the pavement with confidence. On the street, there are 85 horses on tap from the parallel twin, so long distance riding is not a problem.
