The superb bonus of F850GS in traffic filtering is that the handlebar is higher then on F900XR and S1000XR and the mirrors of sedans and small-medium SUV's is not a problem, you just fly over them all. Only big SUV's and other high-mirrored cars are the issue, there are not so much of them in traffic. I'm the newcoming F850GS owner and for me it is super easy to filter even in hard traffic and narrow lanes.

Although I always try to avoid the cities sometimes you must drive through. You are the first one who mentioned the heating of the engine while driving slowly in the city. When I made a test drive on a (very nice) Multistrada it cooks my legs in the similar situation. And that was a NoGo for me. But this bike probably could be a good follow up for my TDM900 ohne day.

@josgraha4 жыл бұрын
When I first got on my bmw the sales team tried to walk me through the features of the switch gear and the TFT display, I was like don’t bother I just need to concentrate on riding and I won’t remember anyway. But sorta like a car in time you get accustomed to just how well engineered and useful these features are. For instance I can answer my phone or use the BMW Connected app for navigation and never have to take my hand off my grip or turn my head to look at my phone on a mount because it’s in my pocket. These features are so good it’s hard to imagine them _not_ on my next bike especially for longer rides or commutes. We live in a world full of distractions and tech and we get used to having this tech but these bikes bring it all together safely and elegantly in a way I could not have imagined.

Very nice test. I think myself this bike is a very all rounder, from the town to weekend ride to a long trip. And, very important to me, because bike is an object of passion non just useful, I found it very "sexy", I just don't like the big side bags but I do not find it such a problem. By the way commuting is very important to me, I live in a town half of the year, and the bike seems quite easy in the traffic.. I just found the engine sound quite noisy. But I imagine it depends on the microphone. Or not? Thanks.
