For 2017 the F 700 GS, F 800 GS, and F 800 GS Adventures will all come with two throttle modes as standard. Rain and Road modes will be included in all of the new F 700 and F 800 GS models. Enduro modes will still be available as part of optional packages. The new MY will come with an “electromotive throttle controller” which BMW says will smooth out the throttle response. 2017’s will also feature new gauges and an MIL (malfunction indicator light, yay?). The bikes will also meet EURO 4 emission standards so you Euro Trash guys can legally buy them.
While these changes aren’t necessarily significant, they’re more than I’d expect for a mid-model refresh. But, then again, BMW is not known for holding back their new technology. Pricing hasn’t yet been announced but I wouldn’t expect an increase of more than $100-$200.
