Although the 2022 BMW F 850 GS doesn’t enjoy any technical changes, the optional Packages are reworked for this coming model year. There’s also a new color, with two colors dropping from last year.
Gone are the 40 Years GS Edition and Black Storm color options. Instead, you can spend $350 and get the new Black Strom Metallic 2 Style Triple Black. Returning are Racing Race (the standard color) and Racing Blue Metallic Style Rallye ($325).
A luggage rack and electronic engine compression traction control are new to the $950 Select Package. The Select Package also gets Ride Modes Pro, cruise control, heated grips, and GPS prep. Sadly, the quickshifter moves from the Select Package to the updated Premium Package.
In addition to a quickshifter, the Premium Package ($2350) has all of the Select Package features, plus semi-active electronic suspension, keyless operation, tire pressure monitoring, and LED Style Elements.
BMW hasn’t set a price for the 2022 F 850 GS, though we should know by the time it shows up in dealers in the final quarter of 2021.Â
