BMW F 750GS and F 850 GS 2018, th two big new bikes that we have already tested, but today we will talk about them with Mattia Dodi
which will tell us ubout the technical news about these two bikes, since they're all new
Here we are with the BMW F 750 GS. It hasan all new engine, the only thing that remais the same is that it's a two cylinder engine
It has a new cylinder timing which passes from 360° to 90° with 270 and 450 fires
there's a self-reinforcing clutch, there's a new balancing system which uses two counter-rotating shafts
It has a smoother output, with a new muffler system which is already ready for Euro 5 regulations
the engine has a throttle body management that avoids sudden shut downs, helping poth expert bikers and beginners
The older engine needed a secondary crank drive in torder to balance the movement of the primary one, due to a 360° timing. With this solution the engine is much smaller and lighter
The sound is totally different, more similar to a V2 enginrather than a boxer, anyway the engine is maller and much lighter
Let's say that the 750 and the 850 share the same base, changing just the cam axles and the electronics. Apart from that, they're the same
Chassis wise, there's a new frame which is a steel case, there's a longer aluminum swing arm, which is 64 cm long, increasing the traction
At the rear there's the Dynamic ESA system which changes the set up depending on the road conditions and on the riding modes
as optional, there's the ABS Pro which has a cornering function
Always as optional, on both mdel, there's the FTF cockpit, which belogns to the BMW Motorrad Connectivity pack, which can be connected to the new System set which lnks smartphones, TFT and helmet
In this way you can use your smartphone as a GPS, you can manage calls and streaming music. On top of that you can read all the info about the bike such as power, tire pressure and many other info ans set ups
another optional is the Emergency button which is very useful: you can push it in case of an emergency and call the emergency service. In case of a crash, thanks to some sensors, it will call it by itself
I'm on the F850 GS, the one with the front 21 inch wheel, it has a good hadling, with a good weight distribution, it's not heavy and it's very well balanced
talking about the front agility, I would have prefered a more agile one, this one might work well off road but it's not extremely agile on twisty roads
that being said, the seat is lower, with a new riding position, more modern, with the tank in a standard position, allows to be more agile and very comfortable. I suggest to buy the higher windshield if you ride a lot
The F 750GS has a lower seat, shorter travel suspensions, the handlebar is highers, making the riding position comfortable, while the winshield is very small, you might want to buy the bigger one
the 19 inch wheel make this bike more agile on turns, thanks to the shorter travel suspensions it's more stable when braking and the riding is extremely smooth
the braking system isn't very aggressive, but it's smooth, the ABS isn't too invasive
BEtween the two engines there's a 10 hp difference and you can quite feel them, together with the torque power
the 750, has amax power of 77 HP and up to 6,000 RPM it isn't that different compared to the 850. The big difference is over that RPM range.
with the 750 you'll have a lower bike, easier to handle, 5 kg lighter, 224 vs 229 kg and it's easier to ride
Talking about the engine with the 270° timing, there's a new sound, which is a bit quieter but nicer to hear. the acceleration feels improved compared to the older engine
the vibrations which were a bit of a problem on the older model over 7,000 RPM, here are a bit lower thanks to the double counter shaft. There are just some vibrations over 5,500 RPM but they're not bad
The 750 we have here today has the TFT cockpit but it doens't have handguards. The quickshift works well, but this shift isn't too fast
this bike is really fun, you can leave the 3rd gear on and it's very elastic. The front end is very smooth,making the riding easy
But if you want to have some fun, you can still enjoy the ride going fast
