BMW F 850 GS vs Kawasaki Versys 1000 Comparison

The BMW 850 GS has a comfortable and capable suspension to do countless miles on any kind of surface and terrain. It is the best off-roader of the three, considering its agility advantage over the GS Adventure, and it's just about big and loud enough to give you the feeling that you are indeed riding a big bike.  Its pricing also undercuts many of its direct rivals, which is why it makes for a strong contender for anyone looking for a middleweight adventure bike.

With no cosmetic changes, the 2022 Kawasaki Versys 1000 continues to sport the same dual-LED headlamps, tall visor, massive fairing and long split seats to maximise comfort. Power comes from the same BS6 compliant 1043 cc in-line four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that develops 118 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 102 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm. The motor is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and gets an assist and slipper clutch. It is a decent sport touring road-oriented motorcycles.
