Louer une BMW 850 GS

Why Choose the BMW 850 GS?

The BMW 850 GS hits that sweet spot—plenty of power for mountain climbs, agile enough for twisty roads, and comfy enough for full-day rides. It’s lighter than the 1250, but still feels solid and planted. Perfect if you want a real adventure bike that won’t wear you out. It handles Tenerife beautifully. From the hairpins above Masca to the fast sweepers near El Teide, this bike adapts to every terrain the island throws at you. If you’ve never ridden here before, the 850 GS is a great all-rounder.

Where to Rent a BMW 850 GS in Tenerife

There are lots of options online, but when I searched for BMW 850 GS rental Tenerife, I wanted something more personal. That’s why I chose Cafe Motorbike. They’re based in Tenerife, they know the roads, and they maintain their bikes properly. No half-flat tyres or sticky clutches here. The booking process was easy, they explained the bike clearly, and even gave me local tips—like where to fill up before heading into Teide, and which roads to avoid on cruise ship days.

Rental Conditions: What You Should Know

If you’re wondering about BMW 850 GS rental conditions, here’s the short version:

• You’ll need a valid A-category motorcycle licence
• ID or passport
• Credit card or cash for the deposit
• A signed agreement confirming you’ll ride only on paved roads

That last point is key: off-road riding is strictly forbidden. You’ll sign for it. If you break the rule, you risk losing your deposit and paying for damages. It’s not worth it—Tenerife has more than enough stunning asphalt to keep you grinning all week long.

Best Places to Ride a BMW 850 GS in Tenerife

If you’re looking for the best places to ride a BMW 850 GS in Tenerife, here’s my personal route plan:

1. Teide from the South (via Vilaflor)

The 850 GS handles the long, gradual climb like a champ. The road surface is smooth, and the altitude change gives you that epic ride-through-the-clouds feeling.

2. Masca Loop (via Santiago del Teide and Buenavista)

This one’s more technical. Tight corners, sudden climbs, steep drops. But the GS makes it feel controlled. Plus, Masca is one of the most beautiful spots on the island—worth every turn.

3. Parc rural d'Anaga

If you want greenery, mist, and a more remote feeling, this is your route. The roads are narrow but paved, with jungle-like forest and coastal drops. Just be cautious in the wet. You won’t need to go off-road to get the adventure. The 850 GS gives you confidence on every type of paved terrain here.

Stay Safe, Stay on the Road

All Cafe Motorbike rentals—BMWs included—are for on-road use only. Tenerife’s roads are spectacular, but going off-track is dangerous and strictly against policy. It’s all in the agreement you sign before taking the bike. Respect the bike, the island, and the rules, and you’ll have an unforgettable ride.

Renting a BMW 850 GS in Tenerife gives you the perfect mix of freedom and control. It’s powerful without being overwhelming, versatile without being bulky.
