BMW F 800R (2015)

The BMW F 800R is the latest iteration of the German marque’s characterful parallel twin-cylinder motorcycles, boasting a dynamic roadster design that’s as sporty as it is versatile.

Power comes from a liquid-cooled four-valve twin-cylinder engine with 798cc displacement, now delivering 66kW (90hp) at 8,000rpm, with shorter gear ratios for first and second gear to further enhance its sprinting ability.

On the road, the F 800R’s engaging riding experience is elevated by new suspension components and optimized ergonomics, including an upside-down fork and hydraulic double-disc brakes with radial callipers.

The bike’s aggressive styling, with its newly designed fairings, radiator shields, front mudguard, and wheels, is a visual representation of its sporty character, while its symmetrical main headlight gives it a distinctive face.

The F 800R sets a new benchmark in its segment, offering a combination of sporty performance, agile handling, and safety features like standard ABS, as well as optional systems like ASC and ESA, making it the perfect choice for novice riders seeking an exhilarating riding experience.
