In 2014, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW F800GS. It was the sportier model of the big GS family and continued the success story with impressive versatility both on-road and off-road.
The front body section underwent a significant transformation with a new fuel tank trim, revised intake snorkel, upper mudguard, and new windscreen, which gave the machine an extra dash of dynamic performance, showing the off-road side of the motorcycle.
In the appearance department, the bike packed standard features, such as a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with pillion grab handles, a two-into-one exhaust system with a muffler mounted high on the left side, and lightweight wire-spoke wheels.
The bike's suspension system comprised a 43 mm upside-down Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front with 230 mm wheel travel and a single shock absorber on the rear with 215 mm wheel travel, offering excellent suspension performance and handling.
In the power department, the 2014 BMW F800GS had installed a 798cc four-stroke twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 85 hp at 7,500 rpm and 83 Nm (61 lb-ft) torque at 5,750 rpm.
The bike's power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-disc clutch and a final chain drive, spinning the rear wheel to a top speed of 199 kph (124 mph).
In addition, the 2014 BMW F800GS was available with new paint jobs, including Red Apple Metallic, Ostra Grey Metallic Matt, and Glacier Silver Metallic.
