The BMW F800GT was a sport-touring motorcycle manufactured by BMW Motorrad from 2013 to 2020. The bike was produced as a replacement for the BMW F800ST and joined the F series that comprised the F800GS, F700GS, and F800R.
Compared to its predecessor, the BMW F800GT introduced several modifications, such as a power increase, a redesigned full fairing that offered more wind and weather protection, Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA), and Automatic Stability Control.
More modifications included hand adjustment for the rear suspension, a longer swingarm, lighter aluminum wheels, a new handlebar with fewer vibrations and new-gen switches and controls, a new exhaust system, new paint, and a newly developed luggage system.
In the aesthetic department, the bike was fitted with standard features, such as a full fairing with a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a small luggage rack, a two-into-one exhaust system, a single-sided swingarm, and 10-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.
As for the power figures, the 2013 BMW F800GT had its heartbeat set by a 798cc four-stroke twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering 90 hp at 8,000 rpm and 85 Nm (63 lb-ft) torque at 5,800 rpm.
The bike's power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-disc clutch linked to the rear wheel through a final belt drive, launching the machine to 201 kph (125 mph).
