2017 BMW F series GS models unveiled

BMW Motorrad has announced some updates for its F 700 GS, F 800 GS and F 800 GS Adventure enduro bikes.

The most significant enhancements concern the 798 cc engine which powers all three motorcycles (in various states of tune). This parallel-twin unit has become compliant with Euro 4 emissions regulations, plus an electromotive 'fly by wire' throttle controller is now fitted.

As standard, there's a choice of Rain and Road riding modes. F 800 GS and F 800 GS Adventure customers can also specify optional Enduro and Enduro Pro settings.

A redesigned tailpipe is one of few visual clues that help to identify the 2017 versions, but dedicated BMW spotters will notice the revised instruments and paintwork changes as well.

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
