The petrol consumption is 3.9 liters at a constant speed of 90 km / h and 5.1 liters at 120 km / h, 95 octane super unleaded petrol . The fuel tank of the F 700 GS holds 16 liters, of which 2.7 liters are in reserve. The GS is equipped with cast aluminum wheels, 19 inch at the front and 17 inch at the rear . The seat height is very low for an enduro .

As usual at BMW, the prefix “F” stands for “Fun” or “Funduro” and the suffix GS for terrain & road . The designer in charge of the 800 twins was David Robb . BMW itself called the F 700 GS the "ultimate all-rounder".
