The brand BMW has brought us its spectacular F 800 R, with which it maintains the long tradition of motorcycles of distinctive character, equipped with an in-line two-cylinder engine. Thanks to its versatility, the German brand’s sporty roadster excites not only with its sporting performance and agility, but also with its versatility and dynamism.
The motorcycle still features a liquid-cooled parallel twin-cylinder engine, with four valves per cylinder and 798 cc. With its power, now 66 kW/90 hp at 8,000 rpm (previously 64 kW/87 hp at 8,000 rpm), and shorter first and second gear ratios, the twin-cylinder engine allows for stronger acceleration while maintaining its well-known virtues, such as excellent recovery, immediate response and low consumption. The maximum torque remains at 86 Nm at 5,800 rpm.
In addition, the experience of riding an F 800 R at the controls is enhanced by the new chassis components and improved ergonomics, two important innovations on this model. For example, the front wheel is now guided by an upside-down fork. Likewise, braking capacity is greater, with hydraulic dual disc brakes with radially mounted calipers. The new seat, which is lower (790 mm instead of the previous 800 mm), combined with the newly designed handlebars and footpegs, offers better ergonomic conditions for the rider.
The forms also express more dynamic qualities in this F 800 R, designed for those who are starting out in the world of motorcycling. The new design of the side fairing, the radiator covers, the front fender and the wheels, combined with the new colors, give it a more dynamic appearance. In addition, the front now stands out thanks to the symmetrical shape of the main headlight.
The new F 800 R comes standard with ABS, following the brand’s ‘360° Safety’ philosophy, setting a milestone in the segment for its safety and versatility. This is made possible by various optional systems, including the ASC (Automatic Stability Control) automatic stability control system and the ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) electronic suspension adjustment system.
