BMW F 800R (2011)

The BMW F 800R is an all-rounder that effortlessly blends fun with practicality, making it an ideal choice for both new and experienced riders.

Its rugged, macho looks are certainly eye-catching, but it’s the parallel twin engine that truly shines. With a great balance of power and character, the 800R is a joy to ride, capable of handling a wide range of tasks with ease.

As I spent more time with the bike, I discovered its sporting focus, evident in the riding position and the firm suspension. While it may not be the most comfortable ride over bumps, the trade-off is exceptional handling and control, which I found myself reveling in as the miles flew by.

A day spent navigating the picturesque Cotswolds revealed the BMW’s true potential, with precise steering, lightness, and exceptional suspension making every mile a pleasure. With its unique blend of power, character, and handling, the BMW F 800R is an absolute blast to ride.
