BMW F 800R (2009)

The latest addition to BMW’s F 800 series is the F 800 R, a sporty roadster designed to deliver exceptional riding dynamics and maximum riding fun. This naked bike is poised to take on the medium category with its optimized engine and throttle response, thanks to a new throttle valve kinematic system. The parallel twin engine, with a capacity of 798cc and 4-valve technology, produces 64 kW/87 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 86 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm.

The F 800 R’s engine features a unique mass compensation system, where an additional swivel rod mitigates first- and second-order mass forces, resulting in an unusually low level of vibration that provides a pleasant riding experience. With its design inspired by the larger BMW roadster K 1300 R, the F 800 R is a distinctly sporty offering that promises to bring new levels of excitement to the medium category.

The F 800 R is set to ignite the riding experience for enthusiasts of naked bikes, delivering a thrilling combination of power, handling, and style.
