Hi! Thank you for watching, The F850gs is very easy to handle offroad, it goes where you look. I used to ride a 2016 AfricaTwin and both are great bikes offroad but to me the BMW is better on handling and on the engine response. If you need a quick throttle response use the EnduroPro mode but if you need a soft throttle response the Rain mode is perfect. My bike is on Michelin Anakee Wild tires and I've ride it at some places that some peoples won't even go with 450s. The only down sides of the 850 is the non adjustable front suspension and the price. That being said the front suspension is not bad and once you sit on the bike and turn the throttle you realize that you get what you paid for.
