BMW F800R (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW F800R was a naked motorcycle manufactured by BMW in 2009, part of the F series that comprised various models with different engine displacements and similar appearances.

The bike was first introduced when Chris Pfeiffer, the Streetbike freestyle World Champion, started using the custom bike to do his tricks. At first, Pfeiffer used an F800S model in January 2006 and eventually made the S model into an R version by lowering its weight to be more suitable for stunt riding.

In addition, in honor of Pfeiffer, BMW Motorrad offered 68 Chris Pfeiffer Edition BMW F800R limited edition models that featured a custom paint job and a custom Akrapovic exhaust muffler.

In the aesthetic department, the bike packed standard features, including an odd-looking headlight, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a small luggage rack, an up-swept exhaust system, and lightweight 10-spoke aluminum wheels. The bike had optional side bags, a top case, and a tank bag.

Underneath its fuel tank, the 2010 BMW F800R had installed a 798cc four-stroke liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 87 hp at 8,000 rpm and 85 Nm (63 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.

The bike's power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch and a final O-ring chain drive that spun the rear wheel to 218 kph (136 mph).
