BMW Oil head boxer road test & review is it better than a Guzzi ? 4K
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
BMW's oil heads, they are great bikes, but wht did we make of the late model 850 over a six month period ?
Is the 850 engine big enough or should you find something bigger ?
Is BMW build quality as good as they say ?

Nice bike I'd say. Seems to ride and handle nice. I could see myself owning one of those. Thanks for sharing. Ride safe all and take care. Cheers

Thanks for the comment Not a bad bike at all we found
Riding a R1150r for 15 years now I remember my first months on this bike, constantly honking when intending to to switch off the indicator. You get used to it :) btw, the telelever suspension was one of the reasons I wanted a BMW

Good sitting position for sure The seat was on the firm side We felt at least
I like the styling of both models, but as an Airhead fan I'll stick with my old R80. 170,000 on the clock and still going strong!

Well done you 👍🏻
I Another great vid! I don’t like the new overpriced high tech BM’s but I loved my old R850. I owned it for 10 years and preferred the more retro styling of the early model. The more you ride then the better they get! 😊

I wonder if all first gen models had the adjustable seat. :) Great bike. I am getting one.
An exelent centerstand, and no chain to maintain... ;o) Fine bike.

Great video. Enjoyed. If I got it right, it has the low fuel light on the dash. I am getting one.

That’s right Don’t really know why they fitted a clock A fuel gauge would have been more useful we thought

Oh I see To be honest we didn’t push our luck with because BMW have a rep for not leaving too much margin. It did go 20-30k I think. Tank range overall was pretty good despite it being used by Tom in France, he’s young and can have a heavy right wrist. We hit saw around the 300k mark Relying on memory a little because it was last summer

@@bikerdood1100 I see. 300 km are easy reachable and on the reserve I believe you still get about 40 km in my opinion. :) Do you have a video about adjusting the seat on the previous model?

I like the idea of the front suspension but have never ridden one. I have to admit that the air heads that I have ridden made my feet feel claustrophobic being that close to the cylinders.

Better than a Guzzi, well Guzzi don't drop gearboxes, final drives, input shafts, clutch plates, misaligned trannies, ABS issues, surging EFI, Hall sensors, cam chains, chocolate cans n followers...bar that bombproof 😂
