Review
The 1999 BMW R 850 R is a classic roadster offering a balanced riding experience. Its 848cc engine delivers a usable 77.0 Nm of torque at 5500 RPM, making it responsive in everyday riding conditions. The engine's character is smooth and predictable, perfect for both city commuting and weekend trips. With a top speed of 187 km/h, it's capable enough for highway cruising while remaining manageable and unintimidating. Ergonomically, the R 850 R provides a comfortable riding posture. The relatively low seat height of 760 mm makes it accessible to a wide range of riders. The 21-liter fuel tank allows for decent range between fill-ups, adding to its touring capability. Its 5-speed gearbox shifts smoothly, and the dual front disc brakes offer adequate stopping power. This bike is geared towards riders who appreciate a no-nonsense motorcycle that's both practical and enjoyable. It's a great choice for those looking for a reliable machine for daily use or weekend adventures, offering a blend of comfort, performance, and classic BMW styling.
