BMW F800GT (2016-2017) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2016, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW F800GT, a middle-class touring machine that could put a smile on every rider's face with every throttle twist. It was part of the F family, comprised of several motorcycles with different engine displacements and similar appearances.

The bike debuted in 2013 as a replacement for the BMW F800ST and continued production until 2020. The motorcycle was driven by a low-maintenance belt drive and mounted the rear wheel on a single-sided swingarm.

In the UK and the US, the bike was available with factory options, such as heated grips, a Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system, an onboard computer, LED turn signals, an alarm system, a center stand, Automatic Stability Control (ASC), an Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA) system, and many Genuine BMW Motorrad accessories.

The bike was dressed in a full fairing with a single headlight unit, a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with pillion handles, a small luggage rack, and 10-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

Underneath its full fairing, the 2016 BMW F800GT had installed a 798cc four-stroke twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system in charge, delivering smooth power and fast acceleration. As for the power figures, the engine produced 90 hp at 8,000 rpm and 85 Nm (63 lb-ft) torque at 5,800 rpm.

The rear wheel was set in motion by a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-disc clutch and a final belt drive, pushing the machine to 201 kph (125 mph).
