BMW 2022 F750 GS - Specs & Review.

[@gokcemuratozaydn799]

Thank you very much for your helpful work; I live in Istanbul and just made a prepayment for F750GS due to arrive in July. Your work has and will continue to help me a lot.. Ride safe stay safe (Murat)

[@MotoBrit]

+Gökce Murat Özaydın... Thanks, Murat. I'm happy to hear my videos are helpful to you. Enjoy your bike when it arrives, I too had to wait 4 months... it went very slow for me!!

[@wouterdoets824]

Thanks you. Really enjoyed the entire video. I got my license on this bike and now considering it. Greetings from Amsterdam!

[@MotoBrit]

+Wouter Doets ... Thanks for the comment. Yep, a nice solid comfortable bike. Good luck. 👍🏻

[@gregoryhaughney]

I had the same problem exactly ! Can you advise what to do ? My is not in warranty because I bought the 2018 BMW F750GS model from a friend in January this year. It had been in storage for 6 years in his garage since he bought it (a skiiing injury prevented him using motorcycles). It only had 180km when I got it. Now it has 2,100km. THE PROBLEM: Exactly as you described. on a trip last weekend I noticed I could not change the Drive Mode from RAIN. In the car park, I left the LED spot lights on while parked up for 2 hours. Bike would not start. I used jump leads to start it from a van battery. It then showed an Error on screen: ‘Fault in the engine control. Onward journey possible. Ride carefully to next specialist workshop.’ Bike drove like a Honda 50 carrying an elephant ! Took me 90 mins to get home, throttle would not increase revs past 1,800. Max speed 30kh (downhill max 49). A cyclist overtook me! 🚴 Did the jump cause a fault ? It has the original ECU software from 2018 (this could be issue). Can I buy an engine computer adaptor and upgrade the ECU operating system software myself. BMW dealer wants 360€ to do it, including general service. All advice or tips welcome.

[@MotoBrit]

It could just be a software issue. Definitely get a dealer to do a full diagnostic test and to update all the firmware on the bike. That, and a general service should get you back on track. Thanks for the feedback. Good luck.

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

hi windshield for sure needed; Crash bars available. Then back rack for a Top box.

[@jerrywallis8825]

I bought the 2022 f750gs in April and I love it. made a few mods. (Foamy grips Rox riser Sargent Seat Mastav Windscreen). I like the Sat nav where it is. Works great for me as I use my phone.

[@MotoBrit]

+Jerry Wallis. Awesome, hope you're enjoying the bike. Yes, I always use my phone now for the nav. I keep meaning to take the Nav mount off altogether. I'll see if I can get any money back from the $500 I spent on the Garmin and never used. If so, I'll take it all off.

[@Ed-lz4jv]

just bought exact bike same color and options, love it, put a puig windshield on it yesterday. waiting for aluminum side pannier bags to arrive...Here in ARIZONA

Great bike mate! Which exhaust does your 750 have?

[@MotoBrit]

+@botero077 ... Thanks. I have the Remus Black Hawk. There's a short video somewhere when I fitted it.

[@botero077]

@@MotoBrit already saw it! Thanks!

[@gregoryhaughney]

In your video after collecting your bike, you mentioned the BMW dealer said it was due to a faulty sensor. Was this at the throttle handle grip ? , or some other sensor location ? . What I am getting at here is, I want to try cleaning the throttle sensor at the handgrip.

[@MotoBrit]

Yes, a sensor at the grip. Literally in a box unit underneath by your thumb.

[@gregoryhaughney]

Thanks, I will clean the TPS unit this evening and post an update on results. A neighbour has a diagnostic 'OBDI' for BMW bikes so on Thursday evening I will use that to check the exact error code and details.

[@wandering_armadillo]

I really just enjoyed your ride home in a city I probably will never see! The streets look well engineered compared to some cities I've visited, though the suspension on your bike could handle rougher. AND I love the sound of your exhaust, anything to muffle the "sewing machine" sound I hear from the front of mine 😉

[@MotoBrit]

+Di Korlaet ... haha... 'sewing machine.' I've never heard it called that. Hilarious. In England we say lawnmower or hairdryer when dissing smaller bikes. Yeah, Pereira is nice. It's getting more popular now as a good place to live. Other Colombians move here from bigger cities, like Bogota etc for the better quality of life and weather. Anyway... very happy to have my bike back. Thanks for watching.

[@davidherringgo]

Thanks for sharing your ride through your cool city . I could ride there , nice motorcycle town, easy to follow infrastructure, glad you got your bike back , Your loner bike looks just like my 21. Saving up to pimp mine out . I don't use that GPS thing either.

[@MotoBrit]

+David Herring... Thanks, David. I forgot to include a snap shot of our new cable car system that goes across the city. I'll do it another time. Yeah, the color scheme really grew on me... and matched my helmet! Thanks for tuning in. 👍🏻

[@cosbro5389]

Like your fingerless gloves...What make are they ? Thanks

[@MotoBrit]

They're just normal knuckle capped gloves, but I usually cut the thumbs off half way. I just like having use of each thumb to use all the buttons, tap my phone screen, tweak the vents on my helmet and jacket etc etc. Well spotted though.

[@cosbro5389]

@@MotoBrit cheers

[@joyn8]

Hi, what a nice bike you have! i'm looking for a 750 as well, but I still have doubts between the 750 and 850. Does the 750 have everything you need or are you sometimes disapointed that you didn't buy the 850 instead of the 750?

[@MotoBrit]

No, I've never been disappointed. The 850 is best suited for people at least 5' 11" maybe even 6' plus. I'm 5' 9". When deciding myself, in the showroom, I could only get my toes on the ground either side on the 850. Yes, you can opt for a lower seat adjustment, but that causes other issues. Also, the 850 is for 'mainly' off-road use, whereas the 750 is good for 'occasional' off-road. Which again, has suited me perfectly. I was a bit concerned about moulded wheels over spoked wheels, but they've been fine. I'm very happy with the 750. As for power, I keep up with friends on 1250s no problem. I hope my thoughts help a little. Good luck.

[@joyn8]

@@MotoBrit That's good to hear! I'm 186cm tall, so maybe a F750gs would be too small for me. I don't know actually. Both, the 750 and 850 are beautifull bikes, but its a shame that the 850 is so much more expensive than a 750.

[@davidherring468]

Been wonderin what was up with the repairs. New 22 looks nice . Lovin my Forma boots and Bad Ass Moto seat pad , BIG thanks from Central Texas. Wow what a bike mine is a 21 F750 GS.

[@MotoBrit]

+David Herring ... Thanks, David. Great to hear some advice was acted on. Central Texas, so I guess we have the same hot climate... and occasional stray livestock on the road!! All the best. 🤘🏻

[@juvian2758]

I think I'm riding the very same bike while mine is in the workshop... yep same plates 🤣

[@MotoBrit]

+Juvian... seriously? haha!! They must have designated the bike as a courtesy bike then. Maybe one day someone will leave a comment saying they have bought it! 😄

[@georgeblumenthal7938]

Point of interest about Sat Nav. I am awaiting delivery of my 2022 F750gs. I had planned to take the Sat Mav cradle and throw it away. BMW has just come out with ConnectRideCradle. It's a bracket for your windscreen that will hold and charge your phone. You can use your phone for maps if you like. I recommend you or other Google it. I have already ordered it. Garmin can keep their $900 box.

[@MotoBrit]

+George Blumenthal ... Thanks for the info, I've not heard about it ... I'll take a look. It sounds like a better idea, most riders move or take off the Garmin bracket, so I imagine it's been an issue for their R&D team for a while. Thanks again. 👍🏻

[@georgeblumenthal7938]

@@MotoBrit also I think the control wheel will control your phone

[@MotoBrit]

@@georgeblumenthal7938 it can do that already. But I set up via my Cardo coms, not the TFT. But if you connect your phone directly you can display contacts and music on the TFT screen. It's very cool... But complicated when you then add your helmet coms, so I just do direct now.

[@dsmpampis]

I think I’m gonna go with the 2024 F800, basically it’s the same bike but with almost 10ps more.

[@MotoBrit]

Great stuff. It's a great feeling when you've done your research and got it down to the best one for you. I hope my vids helped a little bit. Enjoy the new ride. 🤘🏻

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

So unlike the 310 this has essentially the same tft and options as the big brothers to it ?

[@MotoBrit]

Pretty much yes. Just an additional riding mode with the bigger engines... Enduro Pro. Basically the ability to control the ABS, which you can't do now on the 750, 2021 onwards.

[@klimistsakiridis2409]

I might be wrong, but isn't the 6.5 inch TFT screen an extra? Also, do you have any plans of making a list of all the modifications you've done on your bike? I'm in the process of buying a new one but I'm confused as to what comes with the standard edition and what's necessary for me to add (according to my needs).

[@MotoBrit]

The TFT screen started from 2019 I believe, replacing the previous digital version. Yes, I guess I could do a video specifically on the extras for those wanting to compare standard equipment. I've probably mentioned them all, but not specifically in one video so viewers have the info in one place. I'll get onto it. Thanks.

[@klimistsakiridis2409]

@@MotoBrit Thank you sir! 🙏

[@TheDavidRomano]

Here in Missouri I lane filter like you do on the video. I looked it up and it's not illegal in Missouri (as opposed to places like Texas and Oklahoma), and after riding all over the world I'm used to it. Especially at red lights I move to the front of traffic -- feels safer, since my only two accidents in over a decade were in my car just sitting in traffic stopped when distracted teen drivers plowed into me from behind (I wouldn't want that to happen especially when I'm on a bike). The thing is, drivers here are not used to that and think I'm being a total jerk and budding in front of the line at the red light and so forth. I get honked at and yelled at at least once a day. A minivan the other day even tried to race me on the green light (after yelling at me), which was amusing and not even close. I hope one day they'll get it, like in most of the world and a few states like California.

[@MotoBrit]

I rode a few US states last summer, mainly Florida, but went up into Georgia and down through Alabama. I filed up between slow traffic as I came into Atlanta, and didn't even think about it until the next day, and then felt a bit bad as I wasn't sure if it was allowed and I'd pissed off loads of people... likely with guns being as it was Georgia!! A few weeks later I was in traffic on the Florida Keys going out on the first Key, and traffic was very slow. I just sat in the heat as there was a fellow biker up ahead doing the same thing, so I assumed it was not allowed. Sucked. But makes no sense for bikes to be sitting in line like that. As you said, especially at lights where joining traffic could arrive too quick and plough into you. It makes much more sense to filter through and then head off first and avoid danger. Thanks for sharing.

[@pauloadonis]

@@MotoBrit I'm from Brazil and is not prohibited what we called 'corridor' between cars.

[@benh5102]

I appreciate you explaining the driving etiquette there in Columbia. Not that I was judging you riding but... it’s certainly a different style to how I ride in the states! Lol. Cheers!

[@MotoBrit]

+Ben H ... yeah, we don't ride like that in England either. So I thought I'd better explain!!

[@SouthWest-jj8yu]

Great review, question about this and your current bike you might be able to answer. I have a 2019 750 and find road and rain setting is just too flat especially noticeable two up when riding in traffic or taking away from a standstill. Is the newer bike any better, just the same or worse? Just ordered a new 2022 model although the old supply issue means probably won’t see it until summer at least, cheers👍

[@MotoBrit]

+SouthWest 6031 ... I suspect it's still the same sluggish response. A lot of people comment negatively on that feature, especially the Rain Mode being very 'flat' as you say, perfect description. I've ridden in heavy rain, in Rain Mode, and felt unsafe when needing to quickly respond away from other vehicles... So I have concluded that whilst the mode does help with slippage prevention around wet corners, it also hinders the frequent requirement for a quick reaction... Conclusion: I'm in Dynamic come rain, shine or hail!! Hope your new bike is not delayed too long. Good luck.

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

must have top box.; first thing before riding my F800x but need more leg room.. I s this going to give me anything;: being higher seat but bigger wheels ? maybe no difference ? ? Seat height is all relative to peg height..

[@MotoBrit]

I'm not sure to be honest. That's a question for the dealership, I really don't know if wheel and seat combinations alter the height. Good luck. 👍🏻

[@tomg6284]

Colombia , what's it like living there? Cost, housing, life style? Awesome review, thanks.

[@MotoBrit]

+Tom G ... hi Tom, I've been here over 6 years now. I've lived all over the world, and to be honest, Colombia is a little bit of all the things I've liked over the years. Good weather, nice people, cheap to live, nice food, very diverse and no racism ... or rather no fear or tention caused by cultural differces. There's a few niggles with some 1st world pleasures that either haven't caught on here or are not the same, but you learn to live and accept and stay focused on the enormous beauty and potential of the country. I hope to do some more long range biking soon to see many more places on my ever growing list. And to answer your question about cost, if you had a monthly income from investment, work or pension of anything over $2,000 a month, you would live very comfortably anywhere. Even if a third of that was on rent, as you would get a nice stylish city apartment for that, or a big house in the suburbs. It's more expensive up around Cartegena on the coast and in Medellin, which is now a very nice city, but it depends what lifestyle you want. I've got other videos posted specific to traveling around Colombia, that might give you an idea also. Many thanks.

[@vartzel]

much better bike than the 1250 gs in off road rides and will cover 80% of your long rides easily!

[@MotoBrit]

Totally agree. And the fully loaded 1250 is no fun at all to lift up in the mud when you slip. Had to help my friend, if he'd been on his own, not a chance.

[@petme3122]

Great review! I am considering buying the 750 and I am wondering if I should change to the lower seat or keep the default. I am 1.70 tall, any idea?

[@MotoBrit]

+Petme... I think you should be ok at 1.70... the only downside I've noticed when riding a lowered seat 750gs is that the foot pegs can catch the road when doing a hard low turn. But it's not a big problem. I rode a friend's bike which had been lowered and that was the only noticable difference. After the first few scrapes on the twisty mountain road, I adjusted accordingly, to not go so fast and low, and it was not a problem. If you're right on your tip toes, then seriously consider a lower seat, but if you can get the balls of your feet on the ground, then that is sufficient in my opinion. Good luck.

[@OntarioAndrews415]

This was a very enjoyable video. Thanks for posting/sharing. Cheers!

[@MotoBrit]

+Ontario Andrews... You're very welcome. Thanks.

[@J.O.R_BR_Overclocking]

Does the custom cushy grip you installed lessen the grip heating element effectiveness?

[@MotoBrit]

+J.R.R. Tolkien ... no, definitely not. Level 3 is still too hot, even with my gloves, so I think the heat radiates just the same.

[@hextunes]

is there a difference between the 2021 version? i wanted to get either the gs 1250 adventure 2021 or the f750 2021. can't decide exactly yet. that's how I came across your channel. and subscribed to it.

[@MotoBrit]

+STEREOTURK ... I don't think there's any difference at all between 2021 and 2022 (is that what you meant?) Obviously there's differences between 750 and 1250... but from what I can tell, amongst my riding group (all BMW riders) it's mainly prestige of having the biggest one available, with the maximum amount of gadgets, power and safety features. For me 750 is enough (although 750s are 850's as well... actually 853 to be exact) and on long trips I keep up with the 1250 guys no problem. Both on long straights and twisty mountain roads. They have a better acceleration I noticed from maybe 100kmph to say 160kmph (not tested, just a guess, where I've gone "wow, that was quick" as they shoot past me.) Biggest reason for me on choosing 750, was to have less width and weight for off-road stuff. So all personal preference.

[@Simgiov]

The only difference between 2021 and 2022 for the 750 are the color options, they dropped the 40th anniversary for the new triple black.

[@BeanieBiker_AutisticRider]

that is just a 2021 F750GS TE, my bike has all that on it, that is identicle to my bike, I have changed a lot like the seat, windscreen and the bracket from the F850gsa, I also changed the position of my gps bracket, and removed the sound resonator sticking in a dominator mid pipe, stuck on some bark busters and storm guards. That 2022 model is just a 2021 TE model

[@MotoBrit]

+Steve J-Bean-Machine Yep....Exactly the same. The bit at the end where I dropped it back, I asked what is different from the 2021, and the guy just shrugged and said "nothing, it's the same!" Probably why he's a mechanic and not on the sales floor. And yes, you can see on my 2021 in other videos I've changed out the sound box for a dominator mid pipe too. Has to be done I reakon!!

Glad you have your bike back Weather terrible here at home, missing it big time

[@MotoBrit]

+gee cee... yes, the GS design team have somehow managed to increase the overall weight each year for about the last 10 years. Not their biggest selling point! Yes, this time of year sucks for riding, I remember it well. Fingers crossed for you for an early Spring and long Summer!!

[@JoonesAdventuresMC]

Great review, I like the white color but I like the old color scheme where the upside of the tank is black. But that’s of course a matter of taste. I guess that the biggest difference is the possibility to switch off both the ABS and the traction control. I never use to switch it of even on gravel.

[@MotoBrit]

+Joones Adventures MC Yep... I don't think there's a single difference. I couldn't spot anything.

usually they need a new comfy seat.

[@gojolumo]

I just passed my motorcycle course and was looking into motorcycles. I was thinking of getting the honda cb500f but then the sales men showed me BMW. I think its nice but is it a beginner bike? I'm 28and matured not looking for a fast bike. I'm 5'8 and can flat foot this. Sales men said I can put it on rain mode to get the most traction available

[@MotoBrit]

+Chris Griffin... Hi Chris, the 750 is absolutely fine for a new rider. My advice is ignore the rain mode advice, as it won't take you long to get used to the quick response feel of dynamic or road mode. Just take it easy for the first few hundred miles and get used to handling it around corners, in slow traffic and if course on long straights. It's also good for the riding position, as it's a very upright bike with comfortable seating position. Just take it easy on winding roads where speed can throw you off your ideal cornering line, but once you've got used to handling the weight of the bike, you'll be fine. If you buy a smaller engine bike, you'll only be wanting an upgrade after the first few weeks, so just go for it. Ride safe.
