If you are a motorcycle aficionado on the prowl for a sport bike in the middleweight category, you need to look no further than the new BMW F800S. The bike exudes a quaint kind of macho appeal that is meant to make heads turn. Extremely curvaceous and streamlined from end to end, it conjures a feeling of speed; the body language is like that of a panther, ready to takeoff at a moments notice. Powered by a feisty new parallel twin engine, which cranks out 85 hp, this bike is built for nimble performance.
In fact, the state of the art engine, developed in cooperation with Bombardier-Rotax GmbH, is of completely new design. It is the first two-cylinder in-line engine in the history of BMW Motorcycles to feature a four-valve design. High 12:1 compression and an innovative combustion chamber ensure effective and low-emission combustion making the bike extremely fuel-efficient. Relaxed ergonomics and instantaneous braking power make the bike capable of satisfying a sport rider's most crucial needs of safety.
With a dry weight of less than 419 lbs. (approx. 441 lbs. ready-to-ride), the F800S feels light on the road. Riding it is a breeze as its very precise suspension is designed for high directional and cornering stability as well as optimum handling. A closed-loop three-way catalytic converter, state-of-the-art digital engine electronics and optional ABS are also a matter of course for this motorcycle. When you yearn for the chance to really set the tarmac ablaze, then the F800S is your most natural choice. |
