HAVING SPENT QUALITY TIME with the F 850 GS in Kerala, we now explore life with the Adventure variant. This updated model is now available in the Pro trim, meaning all of the additional features are available as part of the standard package. The design and styling are identical to the F 850 GS' and it also takes inspiration from the mighty R 1250 GS. The only difference is that the Adventure variant gets a large 23-litre fuel-tank that gives this motorcycle its massive proportions and stance. Apart from that, this model also sports a set of fog-lamps, crash protection all around, a main stand, keyless ignition, Pro riding modes, cruise control, heated grips, and much more. For this review, we had the motorcycle in the Triple Black colour scheme that looks really cool and managed to grab eyeballs everywhere it went. Overall, the build quality and fit and finish are premium as you would expect from a BMW. The TFT dash has a lot of information on display and the switchgear is easy to use once you get used to it.
