BMW F800R (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2012, BMW released a new model of the F 800 R, a gritty, lightweight, and nimble mid-sized naked machine, which was sure to put a smile on both novice riders and seasoned ones.

At the base of the frame was a 798cc four-stroke liquid-cooled engine with an output power of 87 hp at 8,000 rpm and 85 Nm (63 lb-ft) of torque at 6,000 rpm.

It had a dry weight of only 177 kg, and thanks to its twin-cylinder engine, it was more than capable to cause the occasional adrenaline rush, even to seasoned riders. It could also be enjoyed two-up, thanks to the dual seat, the pillion footrests, and the grab rails.

The model featured the German craftsmanship trademark and engineering and came with standard features such as heated grips, cast aluminum wheels, and a stainless-steel exhaust system.

The sporty flair and agility of the 2012 BMW F 800 R were reflected by the highly dynamic design. The redesigned front-side sections also acted as radiator covers finished in the body color as well as the front mudguards.

To highlight the sporty character of the naked bike the spring of the rear spring strut was finished in red color, the sport windshield was finished in body color, and fitted with white direction indicators that were part of the standard equipment.

The 2012 model was released in three color schemes such as Alpine White/Black Satin Gloss, Magma Red/White Aluminium Metallic Matt, and Mineral Silver Metallic.
