BMW F800GT (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2014, the German motorcycle manufacturer released the BMW F800GT, a mid-sized sports tourer designed to fit the needs of those riders who want an agile machine that could go the extra mile.

The BMW F800GT was a sport-touring motorcycle that debuted in 2013 as a replacement for the BMW F800ST. It was part of the F series, comprised of other motorcycles like the F800GS, F700GS, and F800R.

The machine was driven by a low-maintenance belt drive that spun the rear wheel, which was mounted on a single-sided swingarm. The bike was available in the UK and US with factory options, such as heated grips, a Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system, an onboard computer, LED turn signals, an alarm, a center stand, ASC, ESA, and several BMW Motorrad accessories.

Compared to its predecessor, the BMW F800GT packed several modifications, including slightly more power, redesigned fairings, hand-adjustable rear suspension, a longer swingarm, lighter aluminum wheels, a new handlebar with fewer vibrations, a new exhaust system, and new paint.

In the performance department, the 2014 BMW F800GT had its heartbeat set by a 798cc four-stroke twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 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 and a final chain drive, pushing the machine to 201 kph (125 mph).
