The BMW F 750 GS is a mid-range all-round enduro motorcycle from the BMW brand. The model was presented in 2018 as the successor to the BMW F 700 GS.
history
The BMW F 750 GS and its sister model, the BMW F 850 GS, are the youngest representatives of the F-GS series from BMW. The F series began in 1993 with the BMW F 650, produced jointly with Aprilia , with a single-cylinder four-stroke engine from Rotax with a displacement of 652 cc. This was followed between 2000 and 2007 by the BMW F 650 GS with the same Rotax engine, but with injection instead of carburettor. Between 2008 and 2012 the F 650 GS was equipped with the Rotax parallel twin two-cylinder with 798 cm³ displacement, which has been in a similar form since 2006 in the BMW F 800 S and ST, and from 2008 also in the enduro BMW F 800 GS has been used. In 2012 it was followed by the reduced-power sister model, the BMW F 700 GS, with the same parallel twin engine. The two models F 750 GS and F 850 GS with the same engine and very similar in other details have been produced since 2018.
As usual with BMW, the prefix “F” stands for “Fun” or “Funduro” and the suffix GS for terrain and road.
engine
The F has a water-cooled two-cylinder GS 750 four-stroke engine with four over drag lever actuated valves per cylinder, two overhead camshafts and dry sump lubrication . The cylinder bore of 84 mm and the piston stroke of 77 mm result in a displacement of 853 cm³. The maximum speed is 9000 min −1 . With a regulated 3-way catalytic converter, the engine complies with the Euro 4 emissions standard .
The previous models F 800 GS and F 700 GS were equipped with a 798 cm³ two-cylinder in-line twin engine with 360 ° ignition offset, i.e. pistons running in the same direction. In the models F 850 GS and F 750 GS, which have been produced since 2018, it is now an 853 cm³ two-cylinder in-line twin with a 90 degree crank pin offset and an ignition offset of 270 degrees. This engine has balance shafts . Due to this design and firing order, the engine has a similar behavior to a V2 engine .
In contrast to the more powerful sister model F 850 GS with 70 kW (95 PS), the output of the F 750 GS is limited to 57 kW (77 PS) due to a modified engine control. The engine was designed by BMW, but is manufactured by BMW's cooperation partner Loncin in China.
The motorcycle can also be delivered with an output reduced to 35 kW (48 HP) for the A2 motorcycle license.
Constructive features
Instead of a tubular space frame like the previous model, the F 750 GS has a bridge frame with steel profiles in a shell construction, which offers greater torsional rigidity. The tank is also not installed under the seat bench, but above the engine.

Differences between F 750 GS and F 850 GS
The engine, gearbox, frame and many other parts of the two sister machines are completely the same, the spare part numbers are often identical. The main differences are that the F 750 GS is designed a little more for the road, the F 850 GS more for the terrain. The main differences are:
engine
The engines of both machines are the same. The lower output of the F 750 GS compared to the F 850 GS is only achieved through the modified engine control.
| F 750 GS | F 850 GS | |
|---|---|---|
| power | 57 kW / 77 hp at 7500 min -1 | 70 kW / 95 hp at 8250 min -1 |
| Torque | 83 Nm at 6000 min -1 | 92 Nm at 6250 min -1 |
| Top speed | 190 km / h | > 200 km / h |
The power and torque diagrams of both machines show that the F 850 GS only at high speeds from about 6000 min -1 has a higher torque and more power.
landing gear
| F 750 GS | F 850 GS | |
|---|---|---|
| Front wheel guide | Telescopic fork Ø 41 mm | Upside-down fork Ø 43 mm |
| Suspension travel front / rear | 151/177 mm | 204/219 mm |
| Front wheel | 2.50 x 19 " | 2.15 x 21 " |
The rear wheel is the same on both machines with 4.25 x 17 ".
Seat height
| F 750 GS | F 850 GS | |
|---|---|---|
| Standard seat height | 815 mm | 860 mm |
| Minimum possible seat height (with lowering) | 770 mm | 815 mm |
| Maximum possible seat height (with comfort bench) | 830 mm | 875 mm |
The greater seat height of the F 850 GS is primarily the result of the 21 "larger front wheel and the greater spring travel at the front and rear. The seating position with the feet on the footrests is almost the same due to the identical frames of both machines.
Reviews
“Yes, the BMW F 750 GS has become the better F 700 GS without reinventing its fundamental virtues. The new one can inspire with its balanced chassis and great brakes. But: The engine, designed from scratch, somehow fails to make sense. It sounds great, it has good manners, but when it comes to driving dynamics it cannot meet expectations. Here BMW has made it too easy for itself with the same gear ratio as with the F 850 GS. "
“If you are undecided about to wander back and forth between the F 750 GS and F 850 GS, you will probably make a quick decision when you look at the price tag of the (supposedly) larger enduro, because it costs 12,120 euros. Seen in this way, the deeply stacked F 750 GS could prove to be the better offer. "
“The F 750 GS has blossomed into an independent motorcycle with character and style and has left the“ little sister of the big F ”attitude behind for good. The bike impresses with its excellent handling characteristics and an equally excellent level of equipment - even if that can be quite expensive. But the bottom line is a convincing, valuable offer. "
“Anyone who regards the BMW F 750 GS merely as an entry-level bike is doing an injustice. Although the low seat height, the easy handling and the pleasant response of the engine are actually suitable for beginners, the "small" GS is also a lot of fun for advanced users. The possibility of raising the F 750 GS with all kinds of luxury features to the level of a luxury class bike is unique and makes it the ultimate wolf in sheep's clothing. "
“Basically, the BMW F 750 GS, enriched with some high-tech features, no longer belongs to the middle class, neither in terms of price nor in terms of technology - nor in terms of weight or the driver's feeling. ... "
