BMW F 800 R
By Popular Demand
After critical acclaim in Europe, the much anticipated BMW F 800 R is coming to America! Think of the BMW F 800 R as the ultimate commuter motorcycle, combined with all the traits of a world class canyon carver and a competent touring machine. From the streets of San Francisco to the concrete jungles of NYC, or blasting through the Texas Hill Country, the F 800 R is equally at home. Agile and responsive enough to keep experienced riders happy, yet with all the safety of a BMW built-in to keep new riders confident. Premium options include ABS brakes, heated grips and on-board trip computer... everything you need to transform the daily grind into a real ride! The F 800 R is the newest addition to BMW Motorrad's popular F-series, which includes the F 800 S, the dual-sport F 800 GS & F 650 GS and the sport touring F 800 ST. To further emphasize the F 800 R's versatility, Freestyle Streetbike World Champion Christian Pfeiffer has been using this bike for his tricks while American stunter Chris "Teach" McNeil has also been known to win on an F 800 as well. Whatever demands you may make of it, you will find the F 800 R well up to the task. But don't take our word for it, test ride the F 800 R for yourself!
Agile & Responsive Handling
Light weight (only 390 lbs. dry), massive torque (the highest in its segment at 63 lbs/ft), and compact chassis offers agile and responsive handling.
Specially Tuned Engine
The F 800 R engine is especially tuned for for commuters, achieving 87 hp at 8,000 rpm and 63 lb/ft of torque at 6,000 rpm (compared to 85 hp at 7,500 rpm and 62 lb/ft at 5,750 rpm for the F 800 GS dual purpose model)
Strong Acceleration...
In Any Gear
A short final drive and tight gear ratios make for maximized acceleration and responsiveness. By way of comparison, 4th, 5th and 6th gear ratios are shorter than the ones offered in the F 800 GS; in fact, the F 800 R 6th gear matches the F 800 GS 5th gear!
Race Mode
Then contending with city traffic, the F 800 R has a "track" mode built into the onboard computer (note: only to be used with slick or treadless racing tires on a closed course facility). This mode can on be activated if the power plug is installed to the wiring harness.
Dynamic Design
Young, edgy and mechanical are all hallmarks of the F 800 R's distinctive personality. This character is typical of the naked bikes now offered in a medium size bike under the BMW brand.
Uniqueness
This is a new (for the U.S.) bike and retail sales will be limited to offer its owners a truly unique machine, especially considering the price point.
Low Seat
Optional low seat (30.5 inches) for riders that prefer the confidence a low seat offers.
Available Options
Unlike most bikes in its segment, the F 800 R offers a wide variety of optional upgrades, including ABS brakes, heated grips, built-in tire pressure monitor and more.
Experienced Riders
Experienced riders will be attracted to its raw acceleration and superior handling capabilities. They will enjoy the responsive, dynamic characteristics this model offers.
New Riders
Newer riders or re-entry riders looking to get back into motorcycling will be attracted to the confidence inspired by a light, responsive motorcycle like this, not to mention its attractive pricing and low seat option.
Proven Performance & Bullet Proof Reliability
The F 800 R's level of performance makes it the bike of choice for 3-time world stunting champ Chris Pfeiffer, yet features the bullet-proof reliability built into all BMWs.
Backed by BMW
Like every other BMW, a full 3 year/36,000 mile BMW Motorrad limited warranty comes standard.
