BMW F800R (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW F800R was a naked motorcycle manufactured by BMW from 2009. The bike was part of the F series comprising the F800S, F800GS, F650GS, and the sport-touring F800ST, which was replaced in 2013 by the F800GT.

The BMW F800R was first introduced when Chris Pfeiffer, Streetbike freestyle World Champion, started using the BMW F800S for his trick. Eventually, the bike was transformed into the F800R, with a lower weight, to be more suitable for motorcycle stunt riding.

In the aesthetic department, the F800R model packed standard features, such as a two-piece headlight, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, a single exhaust system mounted high on the left side of the machine, a dual-sided swingarm, and ten-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

The bike was built on a lightweight aluminum frame with a 43 mm traditional telescopic fork on the front and a single shock absorber on the rear, delivering excellent suspension performance and handling.

The braking power was handled by two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 265 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel, delivering excellent stopping power.

As for the power figures, the 2009 BMW F800R had its soul brought to life by a 798cc four-stroke twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 87 hp at 8,000 rpm and 85 Nm (63 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
