It feels quite agile and it corners well too
Verdict – The BMW F 750 GS is the most accessible middle-weight adventure motorcycle coming from BMW. It is a completely different motorcycle when we bring in the old F 650 GS. It is definitely a looker along being quite comfortable for the rider as well as for the pillion. It is more suited for road-duties but can handle off-road just as well. However, it misses out on the hardware that its elder sibling gets while also missing out on the extra punch from the motor. The BMW F 750 GS comes at Rs. 1.3 lakhs cheaper than the F 850 GS while it also dials down to Rs. 15 lakhs for the standard variant. The dynamics and the build quality are solid and one of major reasons to get one would be the BMW badge and the easiness this middle-weight offers.

The upswept exhaust is another element which grabs tons of attention
What’s Cool

* Headlights are really powerful and do a good job of illuminating the terrain
What’s Not So Cool
* Misses out on front USD forks
* Windscreen is a bit too small
* The engine feels tuned down a bit too much against its elder sibling

Testers’ Note:
“The BMW F 750 GS packs in a lot of charm, it’s more fun to ride than its chief rival while also being distinct in design. The tech on offer is simply outstanding and the dynamics are spot on too. The F 750 GS proves why BMW is one of the best motorcycle manufacturers in the world and this middle-weight machine is also a great tourer.” – Faisal Khan, Editor, MotorBeam.
